Every Leonardo DiCaprio Movie Ranked Worst To Best

By teaming up with Baz Luhrmann for a ferociously stylish, modern adaptation of Shakespeare's harrowing romantic tragedy Romeo and Juliet, DiCaprio became an actor of almost unrivalled popularity and potential.

Securing his place as a '90s heartthrob, Romeo + Juliet's exuberant execution does nothing to mute the performances or chemistry of DiCaprio and Claire Danes, both of whom work wonders to explore the intoxicating, inexplicable power of young love before the film's inevitably cruel finale.

With charm and youthful naïvety, DiCaprio grounds Luhrmann's flamboyant drama with a performance beyond his years, in an endearingly messy film that - whilst not for everyone - would change his career forever. From here, he'd never look back.
