Lots of suburban angst in that one. <br><br>For me, DiCaprio's finest hour remains What's Eating Gilbert Grape, a touching and open-hearted performance that makes me happy just thinking about it. But I liked him, too, in Catch Me and Blood Diamond (a great accent part; for some reason, unrelated to spying, he slides between his natural speaking voice and a Southern accent in Body of Lies). And he and Winslet, ummm, "anchor" Titanic, which I love. (And I am man enough to admit that.) I don't think Revolutionary Road will be it. Lots of suburban angst in that one.

Leo has grown into a fine dramatic actor, but as Catch Me If You Can, The Departed (and parts of The Aviator) showed, he has a knack for humor. It'd be nice to see him in an intelligent romantic comedy someday. Maybe someone should write one for him and Kate Winslet. Both of them need a little cheering up.
