Leonardo's best performances: Inception, Wolf of Wall Street, Titanic, Romeo and Juliet (only ones I've seen)

Will's best performances: I Robot, Independence Day, Hitch, I am Legend.

Will has had a successful Music, TV and Film career.
Leonardo has arguably been in better movies.

Your choice, but my vote goes to Leonardo.

This isn't even debatable. It's obviously DiCaprio.

Overwhelmingly DiCaprio. He's worked with some of our greatest living directors (like Scorsese and Tarantino and now PT Anderson) and is willing to take on incredibly risky and unflattering roles.

Whereas even Smith's performances in "prestige" pictures are pretty safe and calculated.

I've seen him other movies.
In the latest Superman movie he was good.
 
Dude....lol

Will Smith: King Richard, Seven Pounds, Bad Boys 2, Ali, Men In Black
DiCaprio: Once Upon A Time In Hollywood, The Revenant, Catch Me If You Can, Blood Diamond, The Departed, Shutter Island

DiCaprio has a lot more better movies, but this should have been a thread asking for suggestion of movies to watch from these 2, because you need to watch more.

Men in Black, Independence Day, all Bad Boys are great if you're a fan, Fresh prince, I am legend, The Pursuit of Happiness, Hancock, I robot, etc. This dude has been in a lof of great movies, but because of his recent history people tend to ignore his past and focus on the now. I do prefer action heroes more than everything else so, yeah.

"I, Robot" was absolutely shit. The screenplay was originally called "Hardwired". Then it was put into blender with Asmiov's three laws (without understanding them at all), renamed, and the result is the diarrhea that you see on the screen.

Wild Wild West is one of the worst movies I have ever seen. While I absolutely like MiB 1. Its just the total lack of chemistry between Kline and Smith, among other things. It doesn't work.

As for Will Smith, he does have some good movies. MiB, I am Legend, Ali I liked. Bad Boys were okay buddy movies, but the first 2 especially are very loud in typical Bay fashion.

Leo is consistently good. He was good in Catch me if you can, Blood Diamond, Shutter Island, Once upon a time and many more. He was actually very good in Titanic as well. He and Winslet worked.

enemy of the state , bad boys , MIB , Ali...........
 
Wolf of Wall Street alone clears most of Wills stuff but include The Departed, Gangs of New York, Django Unchained and Once Upon A Time in Hollywood and it becomes or a curb stomp.
 
its insane how many consistently top rated movies Leo finds himself in. He must have a hell of an agent. Probably has one of the best cineographies of current active modern actors right now.
 
Leo has been in 2 Tarantino movies... that beats Will Smith in one swoop I'd say.

and that's like, less than 10% of the insane roles he had.
it's almost impossible to beat him tbh... There's basically no other actor out there with as many well regarded and successful movies as him.

they had a gag in Austin Powers 3, where the talent agency that Number 2 started got DiCaprio signed, and it is played like it's the biggest catch they got, Dr Evil is super excited about it as well.
and that was more than 20 years ago. he has had like 10 outstanding movies since then

Tarantino originally wanted Will Smith to play Django but Will came into the project trying to take over and rewrite it into something else and Tarantino told him to fuck off.

"Will Smith was Quentin Tarantino's original top choice to play Django in Django Unchained but turned down the role due to creative differences, specifically feeling that Django wasn't the true lead character and that the story should be about love rather than vengeance. Smith wanted the story to focus on a love story, not a revenge story, and couldn't reconcile with the film's violent direction. The part of Django ultimately went to Jamie Foxx."
