Ranking Every Scorsese/DiCaprio Collaboration Movie From Worst To Best

If you're looking for a film that portrays the real-life happenings of an individual but still want it to seem preposterously far-fetched, look no further than the portrayals of Jordan Belfort and Howard Hughes. Whilst the former is quite frankly a rather awful individual, he did have a bloody brilliant movie made about him, and that's the be all and end all when it comes to this list as it happens, so we'll be focusing on The Aviator for now.

Hughes was a complex gentleman: a pilot, a businessman, a playboy, a film producer, a billionaire - almost all the things you put at the top of your 'What I Want to Be When I'm Older' list.

Unfortunately, he also turned out to be ever-so-slightly off his rocker towards the end, which just added to the script that more or less wrote itself, and ended up starring Leonardo DiCaprio in a role he'd pretty much drag into his personal life from then on. Presumably minus the ending.

Usually when a film takes on the saturated life story of an overly complicated character, everything gets watered down in translation, but what Scorsese and the team do so wonderfully in The Aviator is bring out the key elements of Hughes' life in such sharpened detail that the two hour and fifty minute run time actually feels compact, and the film itself hits all the right notes that'll leave their mark long after the credits roll.
