I've never seen the original tbh. It doesn't bother me that much though. I also LOVED Shutter Island and Wolf of Wall Street. Also...HE loves Dicaprio now.
Need to go back and watch some of his earlier movies though like Taxi Cab.
At that point, I'd only seen him in Titanic and Catch Me If You Can (oh and Romeo+Juliet...fuck me I almost forgot that ). Catch Me If You Can redeemed him somewhat but The Departed pushed him into the fucking stratosphere for me.
