Titanic, Blood Diamond, Gangs of New York, The Departed, The Aviator?

He has a moviestar-hunk image, but his history of films he's appeared in shows that he's a very talented and versed actor, much like Brad Pitt (Ocean's 11 series, Fight Club, 12 Monkeys, Se7en)]]>Jun 8th 2008 5:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/08/leonardo-dicaprio-to-star-in-atari-founder-biopic/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/08/leonardo-dicaprio-to-star-in-atari-founder-biopic/Jun 8th 2008 5:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/08/leonardo-dicaprio-to-star-in-atari-founder-biopic/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/08/leonardo-dicaprio-to-star-in-atari-founder-biopic/Jun 8th 2008 6:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/08/leonardo-dicaprio-to-star-in-atari-founder-biopic/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/08/leonardo-dicaprio-to-star-in-atari-founder-biopic/Jun 8th 2008 6:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/08/leonardo-dicaprio-to-star-in-atari-founder-biopic/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/08/leonardo-dicaprio-to-star-in-atari-founder-biopic/

Obviously you don't really mean Titanic. Anything with Celine 'Why the Long Face' Dionne can -- by definition -- not be a good film.

The rest are good. Especially the Basketball Diaries (which you inexplicably miss out).]]>Jun 8th 2008 7:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/08/leonardo-dicaprio-to-star-in-atari-founder-biopic/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/08/leonardo-dicaprio-to-star-in-atari-founder-biopic/

Too many people disregard him because he was a teenage dream boy back in the 90's. He's become a fucking fantastic actor, and it's a shame more people don't recognize it. Really, watch Blood Diamond or Catch Me If You Can, and pretend it's some new guy who didn't star in Titanic. Maybe you'll be surprised what you see.]]>Jun 9th 2008 1:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/08/leonardo-dicaprio-to-star-in-atari-founder-biopic/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/08/leonardo-dicaprio-to-star-in-atari-founder-biopic/http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0108550/

The movie about Apple, Microsoft, Xerox, IBM and so forth turned out quite well in my opinion, I mean the infamous "Pirates Of Silcon Valley" is a huge favorite of mine. :)

I would love to see a movie about Commodore/Amiga as well!

-"If you want to start a company do it now, don't wait till you have a mortgage and family responsibilities. Then it will be much harder."

I started a company a few months later and I am still doing that sort of stuff now.

Also, he said a funny story. When he sold Atari his first payment was in warrants or something like that and he put the warrants in his car's trunk, I think $6M (this was about 1986 so that was a lot), and he couldn't find them, he lost them.... Since they weren't cash they were reissued.

Anyway, he was good guy and I thank him for coming and giving that talk and having a positive affect on my life.]]>Jun 8th 2008 9:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/08/leonardo-dicaprio-to-star-in-atari-founder-biopic/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/08/leonardo-dicaprio-to-star-in-atari-founder-biopic/

I'm with Richy on this one, Titanic was a huge flop for all actors involved in that one. The only thing that saved it was the sappy love story which caught so many little girls off-guard.
