Leonardo DiCaprio’s 7 Favorite Movies
The handsome and talented actor Leonardo DiCaprio has unveiled the list of his 7 favorite films and two of them are Italian.
Leonardo DiCaprio recently blew out 48 candles, and while he’s one of the best and most acclaimed actors of all time, he’s also a movie eater. It was these films (and others) that endeared him to the world of cinema and showed him the way.
And surely Leonardo DiCaprio found his place in this world, and how he found it! It is not easy to understand one’s vocation, but when one succeeds, the results are guaranteed. And also because as Confucius said: “Choose the job you love and you will never work a day in your life”. Leo thrilled us with real masterpieces of cinema, precisely because he loves his job and always invests himself fully in it.
Leonardo DiCaprio, many failed Oscars until Revenant
The world of cinema has not always been fair to him. He has been nominated many times for an Oscar, but only one film won him the statuette in 2016 for best actor, we are talking about Revenant. Certainly, however, Leo would have deserved quite a few statuettes, like forgetting cinematic milestones such as Happy Birthday Mr. Grape, Romeo + Juliet, Titanic, Shutter Island, etc. The list in which his interpretations have been almost perfect is really long.
But Leonardo DiCaprio is not only a brilliant actor but also a passionate environmentalist. It is precisely his courage and his philanthropic works that he was named in 2014 “Messenger of Peace” by the Secretary General of the United Nations Ban Ki-moon and in 2016 Time magazine elected him as an icon among the 100 most influential people on the planet.
The 7 movies that made Leo who he is today
Returning therefore to the initial speech, Leonardo DiCaprio, although being a great actor, is also a man who very much likes to see the successful films of his other colleagues. Although it wasn’t easy for him to narrow down his movie preferences so much, he made a list of his 7 favorite movies.
The top 5 movie titles on his list that we are going to reveal are: Taxi Driver by Martin Scorsese, 2001: A Space Odyssey by Stanley Kubrick, The Valley of Eden, Harry by Elia Kazan, Meet Sally by Rob Reiner and Princess Mononoke by Hayao Miyazaki. About 2001: A Space Odyssey, Leonardo DiCaprio said, “It’s more than just a movie, it’s a spiritual experience. You have to immerse yourself in the idea that Kubrick’s intention was to make us understand our relationship with the universe. The more you look at it, the more it makes you ask yourself questions.
Among these 7 favorite films, Leo also counts two made in Italy, namely 8 1/2 by Federico Fellini and Ladri di Biciclette by Vittorio De Sica. We will add, though we may be biased, that Leonardo DiCaprio has excellent taste.
