Daniel Day is Goat Status. Dude takes tons of years off and comes back and crushes the building with Lincoln. As for Leo. yes he's one of the best of this generation. But I think people focus more on the Directors and Other Actors he worked with so they take away from Leo skill himself. Yes he has worked on great projects with Big time directors and actors but Leo holds his own and does his thing. I think Daniel Day went in this decade. Denzel also had a good decade. Tom and Tom fell off but they had a few bangers. Yes as far as really good movies. Leo's catalog in the 2000's has been sick. But I won't say he had the best run "Acting" wise. Quality movie wise, Yes it was a Hell of a Run in the 2000's.
Anyone say Will Smith yet?
The Legend of Bagger Vance, Ali, MIB 2, Bad Boys 2, I Robot, Shark Tale, Hitch, Pursuit of Happyness, I Am Legend, Hancock, Seven Pounds, MIB 3, After Earth (Coming soon)
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas and Mystic River, two random movies from those two actors, are completely beyond the capabilities of Leonardo DiCaprio. I like Leo (pause) and am very entertained by a lot of his movies, but he is not of the same caliber of actor as the guys I mentioned. American History X is beyond him. Fight Club is beyond him. I have yet to see anything from Leo that I wouldn't expect from him. shyt, I didn't even bring up Clooney. Leo is not top 5, atleast not yet.
