Actor Leo DiCaprio and director Martin Scorsese have been frequent collaborators since 2002. Together their 5 films have been nominated for 31 Academy Awards and won 9. Leo and Marty are making their 6th film together, Killers of the Flower Moon.

Prior to pre-production the writer, the gifted Eric Roth, famous for Forrest Gump and A Star is Born, and Leo had disagreements with the script over Leo’s role. Roth felt he won about half the arguments and Leo half but that was not enough for Leo. That’s Hollywood. Leo opted to play the other lead role with Marty’s blessing. The role of the FBI hero went to Jesse Plemons. They both share equal screen time. Killers of the Flower Moon is an adaptation of the 2017 book by David Grann, which takes place during the Osage murders which took place in Oklahoma in the 1920s.

Martin Scorsese and Leo DiCaprio have done 5 magnificent films together and we ranked them here for your streaming pleasure.

1. The Departed

 An undercover cop and a mole in the police department desperately try to identify each other in this Irish gang thriller set in a South Boston thriller. The film was cast with Matt Damon and it is an awesome, taut thriller. 

 

2. The Wolf of Wall Street

An American epic of the true life of Jordan Belfort and his incredible rise and fall in the worlds of high finance and crime. It is somewhat of a black comedy and it is revered by Scorsese and DiCaprio devotees.

 

3. Gangs of New York

Possibly the most entertaining of all their films, an all star cast delivers the story of warring gangs in the slums of New York City in the 1860s with an incredible set and filled with revenge and holy terror.

 

4. The Aviator

This epic bio drama of the obsessive Howard Hughes is dazzling with characters from Hughes’ life in Hollywood including Katherine Hepburn played by Cate Blanchett and Ava Gardner played by Kate Beckinsdale.

 

5. Shutter Island

This is an outright psychological thriller that you didn’t see coming. A US Marshall investigates a murderer in 1954 who may have escaped from a mental hospital. Mesmerizing.
