Leo is consistently solid, but I've yet to see him in a role where I thought he was great.

Alot of you are forgetting Gatbsy and D'Jango.... I thought Leo was great in both of those roles.

His performance in The Master is better than anything Leo has done.
No doubt. Made even more amazing by the fact it wasn't pleasant to watch, but you just had to.
Phoenix has far more depth and intensity. He also has more range than some give him credit for if you really look at his career.
DiCaprio is talented but he is more of a movie star who can act.

Phoenix has far more . . . intensity.

Watch The Master, movie was slow but Phoenix was outstanding and he deserved the Oscar.
I'll just have to agree to disagree with some people in this thread. Both are great actors, and you can't go wrong with either one. But. . . Leo is better!

Leo is a great actor.
Phoenix is almost Brando-level.

He posted a long time ago. Haven't even seen someone mention him in years

Because he was banned I believe.

Leonardo DiCaprio was great in Catch Me If You Can, The Aviator, and The Departed. Those are my three favorite performances by him.
I still think Leo should have beaten Jamie Foxx out for the Oscar for his performance in The Aviator. Jamie Foxx was good but his performance was more of an imitation of Ray Charles than it was acting. DiCaprio became Howard Hughes.

The answer is a River. Had he lived and continued to act, his brother would be Casey Afleck.

yea but casey affleck is a better actor than his brother

This is a joke, right?
Leo and it ain't close....at all. He's the best in the business with Daniel Day-Lewis.
