He had an excellent career. What's Eating Gilbert Grape was fabulous, and the new R&J was a favorite of mine, but even there I have that trouble of watching any of his movies and not thinking "Leonardo". I realized that the last time I pulled out my Romeo and Juliet video and it just didn't have the same magic to it.

I second your suggestion for a relative unknown.
