Pick Or Pass On These Actors And We'll Guess Your Top Three Movies

It used to seem like there were only a handful of actors who were allowed to headline the biggest movies of the year. But with more content available now than ever before, it also means more room for actors to share the spotlight. No longer do the summer blockbuster have to star the same few people, nor do the winter dramas have to fluctuate between the same Academy Award-winners.

Now, not only does it seem like they’re more actors than ever before, but that these actors are also allowed to seamlessly float through genres and mediums. For instance, there’s no longer any embarrassment in returning to TV to star in a series like Game of Thrones or Stranger Things, even after an actor has made it on the big screen.

We’re sure we’re not the only ones who keep tabs on our favorite actors' careers by checking their IMDb pages and seeing what projects they currently have in the works. After all, if we loved a number of movies that one actor has appeared in, there’s a good chance that we might just love their next project as well.

So let’s see if we can figure out someone's top three movies based on their preferences of these successful actors.

Question 1

Leonardo DiCaprio began acting professionally when he was still a child. Some of his earlier roles included Growing Pains and Critters 3.
