The older guys you mentioned are trained in a completely different form of acting. Movies for them are much like theatre. Very dramatic, sudden movements, scripts were written with a different style of dialouge. Its difficult to compare them with today's actors, because they had completely different material, tone and style to work with.
Although Quinn was probably the most talented amongst those guys in my opinion. Even near the end of his career he still had good on-screen charisma and believability.
Also DiCaprio is a great actor. He picks good movies too which help him stand out and can hide deficiencies in a well-told story. Watch most of his movies after Titanic and you will agree. The Aviator, Blood Diamond, The Departed, Catch me if you can, Inception...
good. very good. but the best ever? hmm. that must be matter of taste.
The plot was very original. the acting was good, de caprio did it again. The ending was a bit confusing..... for me atleast
I didn't get how Leonardo and the japani got out of Limbo and back to the "reality" in the plane?
Anyway I always judge movies on how long afte the movie, I think about it.
well I still think of inception, but then again I just left the cinema
here is my top movies in same genre (sci-fi adventure) based on occupying mind.

Spoilers below!!!
Who says it was reality?
The theory is that in limbo you forget that you are dreaming. If you kill yourself in limbo, you wake up, but the problem is that if and when you figure that out, you have been there for so long your brain is fried...
IF the end was reality, then Leo convinced Saito to kill themselves and wake up...
Ive seen the movie 3 times. Its excellent, probably the smartest movie I have seen in a while. There are plot holes, but hey, would be almost impossible to not have any.
Not the greatest movie at all. Technically may be one of the greatest. Acting was great. Hans Zimmer's sound track amazing. BUT...the movie lacked the human touch and...message.
Greatest movie ever, here's a short list:
The life of the others (Das Leben der Anderen)
House of spirits
Underground (emir kusturica)
Cinema Paradiso
experiment (german version)
Blue (Krzysztof Kieslowski)
Red (Krzysztof Kieslowski)
White (Krzysztof Kieslowski)
Head On (Fatih Akin)

This guy has an awesome argument for what really happened. I suggest everyone who has seen the movie read it:

miduni ke nokaretam, vali honestly, Head on, life of others etc. they don't really come close in terms of message and even human touch compared to this. I was just literally sitting in my cinema seat for 8 minutes to digest it...
Farbod and deerouz already answered it..

The problem with limbo, and the reason why it's so dangerous, is that the dreamer forgets they are in limbo, and it becomes their reality. That's why you never wanna get stuck there. If the dreamer knows they are in limbo, it's simply "unconstructed dream space" and all the other dreaming rules apply. That's why you see the exchange between old Saito and Cobb realizing they are in limbo, immediately before they wake up in the plane.
Next, the reason they go straight from limbo to the plane is simple. When they are in limbo, all the kicks have already been performed so if they die in limbo, they proceed straight up into the "real-world". This is why they leave them in the van when the rest of them go to safety above the water. Because they want them to drown in the van, and thus leave no dreams between them and the real world.
The other theory is of course that they don't wake up in the real world, and by killing themselves, they go into another "limbo" where Cobb gets to return to his family.
I used to think the end was reality for several reasons like hes not wearing a ring and all in all would be a better ending.
My only annoyance is that the kids are wearing the exact same clothes as in his dreams. Either this was sloppy on the directors part, or its a dream...
Also there is one very large plot hole. A "kick" brings you up from the level below. A kick wont work if you are not in the level below, but rather 2 levels below, as you would need two kicks to be brought up to that level. This explains that when the van goes off the bridge the team isnt kicked to level one, as they are still in level three since arthur could not set up the kick in time. The plot hole is, ARTHUR IS IN LEVEL TWO!! He shouldve been kicked up to level one alone... But I dont expect every plot hole to be accounted for in a movie like this. The plot holes in every other science fiction film are ten fold this one... Just food for thought

Why sloppy? IMO the greatest movies are those who do not draw a clear conclusion at the end and allow the audience to think and speculate about it. Average Americans like a morally black-and-white, non-confusing movie with a happy ending. Not my preference. If the ending was clear cut obvious, I would not have enjoyed the film as much as I did.
Has nothing to do with a clear conclusion. Has to do with logic. Having a widely interpretable ending is great, but something very different than making an error. Either it was a dream or an editing mistake... Not that I care, loved the movie either way. Just saying...
Id actually wish it was done in a way that was even LESS conclusive... Just logically done so there wasnt discrepancies... But honestly this is complete nitpicking, the movie was incredible...
