Leonardo has been superb in recent years. Aviator, Gangs of New York , Catch me if you can, Blood Diamond and the departed are all MUST watch movies. I've always liked this guy (not coz of his fanfare after Titanic was released). Basketball diaries was a good movie as well and so was the youthfulness of a typical american kid that he portrays in the Beach. This guy's turning out to be a Great actor.
