Looking at Leo’s filmography, how is he not the GOAT.

[ciubaca]

But seriously though, what's the criteria here? If it's being in a lot of great movies, I could make a case for Sam Jackson or Morgan FreemanIf it's best performances, I have a lot of people ahead of Leo just from his generation of actors let alone all time.

Sam jackson has also been in a lot of terrible ones. Leo hasn't. He's chooses his roles carefully. I dont think he's ever been in a bad movie. Performance wise, you're right tho.... I put lots of actors over Leo. But no one can deny that his movie catalogue is one of the best.

Both, but what separates him from Sam Jack is he hasn't been in barely any bad movies.
And lastly, he is consistently good and in some instances great in all his performances.

cause his name isn't Denzel

My schtick in the Film Room is being the Leo hater. I have a role to live up toBut to respond to your points seriously, what makes you think the A1 directors who automatically default to casting Leo in leading roles are even thinking of nikkas like Sam Jack?Denzel can out act Leo any day of the week and you know Scorcese ain't out here blowing up his cell. I refrain from using the smilie because it's the biggest copout on this forum, but it definitely applies here. Leo has one of the most undeniable filmographies, no doubt. Quality of performance-wise is a whole other discussion. If that makes me a hater, I embrace the smoke

I doubt sam jackson or denzel would have been good casting choices for calvin candie, jordan belfort, billy costigan, jack, howard hughes etc.
Granted, leo would have been a terrible choice for Malcom X or Shaft

Michael Keaton the G.O.A.T. breh

 

[StraxStrax]

1. Despite being good he's never been best in any movie he's been in except maybe Django
2. He doesn't take chances with roles
3. He's one note - a great yelling tantrum throwing white guy but he seldom tries being subtle/chooses roles to avoid having to be subtle
4. Has no classic characters outside of Jack in Titantic

Dude is good but he has his own lane. He's not even in the top 50 living actors, let alone the GOAT. You could maybe even find 50 Leo co-stars that are better than him but tbh he works with some of the best people

I said guys his age or younger. Denzel is not that and is definitely better. Along with Newman, Redford, DeNiro, Pacino, Penn, Jeff Bridges, Day Lewis, shyt even guys like Gary Oldman, Richard Gere, Cruise, Robin Williams, John Tuturro, Kietel, Matt Dillon, Fishburne etc.
He is not on their level but he is also 10 years younger than them. So think of guys his age and younger. He just shows how huge the fall off has been in American acting. He's the last of a dying breed really.

Chadwick Boseman's discography by the time he's done will probably be greater. nikka gets every role i would want for myself if i was an Actor.

He needs to move away from dding.historical/civil rights era biopics, at least for now. He was good as Jackie, JB, and Thurgood Marshall but he is quickly becoming the real life acting version of Quantum Leap.

 

[mastermind]

Denzel Washington is the greatest actor of all time, period!

 

[tonyclifton]

Yea he’s def a goat

Shoulda won best actor for aviator And even Gilbert grape


Aviator was so dope to me. Classic imo and he killed that shiit

The beach or whatever was his only misstep and that was when he was trying to figure out his career after being labeled a teeny bopper guy for titanic
