I'm attaching a poll to this, but since the thread is more about discussion, I'll post it here instead of in the Movie Polls sub-forum.

After recently re-watching The Departed, and seeing Shutter Island over the weekend, I started to think I just don't like the DiCaprio Scorsese.

At least when compared to the De Niro Scorsese.

The DiCaprio Scorsese
Gangs of New York
The Aviator
The Departed
Shutter Island

The De Niro Scorsese
Taxi Driver
Raging Bull
The King of Comedy
Goodfellas
Cape Fear
Casino

With the exception of Cape Fear, I think every movie in the De Niro list would rank ahead of all the movies in the DiCaprio list. And it's not because I like De Niro, because I don't, really.

Casino, Goodfellas, and Raging Bull are classics to me. Taxi Driver and The King of Comedy aren't far behind.

The Aviator was great for an hour, then it just dragged on and on. Gangs of New York was ridiculous. Shutter Island was a struggle to even sit through. And The Departed was pretty good, but not exactly a masterpiece.

What's happened to Marty?
