Leonardo DiCaprio has a MUCH better resume, though.
Aviator, Departed, Shutter Island, Gangs of New York, What's Eating G.G., Quick and the Dead, Inception, Catch Me If You Can..
Even as bad as "Titanic" is, it was still the highest grossing movie for over a decade, and is the kind of movie superstars are supposed to have - that one role that boosts them to superstardom. Tom Cruise had Top Gun, Will Smith had Independence Day (movie wise), Harrison Ford had Raiders of the Lost Ark, Tom Hanks had Big and Forrest Gump... Brad Pitt has really nothing. He has a great resume too - Fight Club, Twelve Monkeys, Benjamin Button, Seven, Kalifornia, Basterds... but when it comes down to it, Brad Pitt seems more like a "supporting actor" than the main superstar. His best 2 movies - Seven and Fight Club, he isn't even really the main character (arguable, but still). On the other hand, Leonardo has stuff like Aviator, Inception, Blood Diamond - I'll even say Titanic because he was a huge (think 60%+) reason for its success.
It's really hard to say, but I give to Leo just because he is a bigger superstar and I think a better actor (more nominations for example). After Titanic, Leo could've went to make more special effects blockbusters - he was offered The Matrix for example - but chose a different route and went more dramatic.
