***But somewhere embedded deep in your cerebral cortex is the following EE-addled equation: Titanic=DiCaprio. This thinking, not to mention this equation, is flawed.
I suggest a different equation: DiCaprio's acting in Titanic=DiCaprio ability.
As far as being so stuck on Titanic - it is simply a very convenient vehicle that virtually everyone is familiar with.
Even with your angry tone I am still nearly almost tempted to try that movie that you mentioned. I don't mind being surprised, I was pleasantly surprised by Tom in the Eyes, this possibly being his best work. And, of course, my favorite surprise is still the Ryan O'Neal's work in Barry Lyndon.
BTW, EE's don't have "cerebral cortexes", they have backplanes and motherboards with millions of wirewraps and cold solder joints.

Another DiCaprio film of note: "Basketball Diaries". TAFKA Steve 15:26:19 8/04/99 (0)
I believe that DiCaprio was nominated for a Best Supporting Actor Oscar for his role in "What's Eating Gilbert Grape?", but I think he demonstrates a broader range in "The Basketball Diaries".

"BTW, EE's don't have "cerebral cortexes", they have backplanes and motherboards with millions of wirewraps and cold solder joints."
And, I might add, wonderful senses of humour. Thanks for the chuckle. Actually, it was more like a hearty guffaw.
Cheers.

  Now I can put my Smith&Wesson away. Good thing, that trigger still creeps.
