4. The Wolf of Wall Street, 2013
IMDB Rating: 8.3
This film is unlike any other DiCaprio or Scorsese film. Based on true events, it is about a man’s journey from having nothing to having anything and everything. The biggest success of this film was taking an actor known for his comedy (Jonah Hill) and turning him into an Oscar nominee. Scorsese was known back in the De Niro era for bringing a new ideal to film – violence and corruption. This film set a new ideal – drugs and money.
