Watching "What's eating Gilbert Grape" with the GF... it's been a while and had forgotten how solid of a job Leo did...

Comparing the two performances....

Norton made a crappy movie better. DiCaprio made a good movie great.

Leo in this one, and not even close for me.

Watched WEGG last night (The GF hadn't seen it) and was impressed as to how well Leo's performance held up. The GF commented repeatedly as to how he "really looked/acted ######ed".

Primal Fear was a pretty nice "Coming out party" for Norton too who, until then, I'd not seen in anything. When he came out of character at the end, it was one of the better twists I'd seen in some time.

I think I've gotta go Leo here... Norton was damn good, but after rewatching WEGG last night... Leo might have taken with the best fake-####### performance I've ever seen... possible contention from Billy Bob in Slingblade maybe?

Love this final scene from Primal fear.

My mother honestly thought he was challenged. And, she's not gullible, at all.
