Anybody have the clip of Bale going off on that guy that distracted him on set or something?

I think both are amazing at their job, but I absolutely LOVED Leo's performance in The Departed. Probably my favorite movie of all time

Bale is not that great an actor. DiCaprio has been better and was involved in the Departed.

Anyone who likes Leonardo DiCaprio as an actor must have been a teenybopper when Titanic came out or is just plain gay.

Leo. Bale has a plastic face. He isn't good at showing emotion

Fans of his work in the Departed beg to differ. Leo also was great in Blood Diamond and Catch Me if you can, and Who's eating Gilbert Grape.

Despite his basketball playing scenes he was also great in The Basketball Diaries.

He's basically been great in everything other than Titanic. His accent in Blood Diamond was impressively accurate

A couple of underrated Leo movies are This boy's Life and the Beach.

Bale's an intense actor, but that's all he can ever seem to be. I think Dicaprio has a much better range, he's got more flexibility in the roles that he can pull off.

I can halfway see Dicaprio pulling off the Machinist, I can't see Christian Bale as Arnie from What's Eating Gilbert Grape.

Leo, but I'm sure as hell glad Bale played Patrick Bateman in American Psycho instead of Leo.
