Leonardo DiCaprio does have his favorites in life, doesn’t he. The people he goes back to over and over again. Girlfriend? Supermodel Giselle Bundchen, who he was on and off with for years. Environmentalist? Al Gore, who he referenced in his green docs “The 11th Hour” and “Everything’s Cool.”
And then there are his film favorites. The people with whom he continues to collaborate, including his latest pairing with actor Russell Crowe in “Body of Lies” and his work with Oscar-winning auteur Martin Scorsese. We look back at his go-to brigade. (Jay L. Clendenin / Los Angeles Times)
The pair will team up again in this year’s sure-fire Oscar contender “Revolutionary Road,” based on the Richard Yates novel about a suburban couple in 1955 -- he’s an office drone, she’s a would-be actress -- who are unable to cope with their utter ordinariness.

Martin Scorsese, Gangs of New York
DiCaprios tightest working relationship of all is shared with filmmaker Martin Scorsese. The twosome first collaborated on 2002s Gangs of New York. The coupling worked; the film was nominated for 10 Oscars. (Lucy Nicholson / AFP)
