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)
