TimeOut

In my MBS room now.. watching Cast Away again.. very sad.. tom hanks and the woman he loved.. cannot be together.. I was wondering.. Tom Hanks vs Leonardo Dicaprio.. who is the better actor to you..? ...  

“Catch me if you can,” where they were great together. Who’s better? They both have impressive range from comedy to drama, but Hanks has demonstrated much wider range throughout his career. He is an icon.

As a matter of fact watched it recently and enjoyed it again, that being said Leo in wolf of wall street really killed it, Inception or The departed ain't bad either!

Apollo 13, Forrest Gump, Sully, Saving Private Ryan, Green Mile... Oddly enough, I also re-watched Cast Away about 3 months ago. I had not seen it in 20 years. It's excellent, albeit sad.

With a caveat - Leo has managed to bring a burning intensity to his roles which has been unearthed by Martin Scorsese as his director in a long list of movies that they did together - starting with Gangs of New York , through The Aviator, The Departed ( i... 

I would not want to miss the chance to endorse Infernal Affairs, parts 1 and 2. Departed is merely an okay remake. Cheers Marc

Can we not just enjoy them for what they do?

it isn't a comparison at all. DiCaprio has always been a thoroughly mediocre actor in my eyes, he's been in a few good films (i.e. The Departed, Catch Me If You Can), but those films would have been equally good if not even better with someone else in his... 

But that’s not to say DiCaprio isn’t talented. In my view they are very different. It’s like trying to compare Ferrari versus Porsche. Or Lange versus Patek. We appreciate them for different reasons. Gatsby

Thank you everyone for your responses both Leo vs Tom and also their movies.. Everyone responses and perspectives are interesting to me.. So sad.. The lady still rushed out to tell Tom Hanks that he is the true love of her life.. But they didn't stay toge...
