best robert de niro movie

[Tyrant21]

I'm going to have to go with godfather 2

haven't seen taxi driver yet though, hear it's amazing

[Kage]

Taxi Driver.

Although Raging Bull comes very close.

[poopoogaypoonn]

Taxi Driver but I likes my GoodFellas

[tom79]

Raging Bull probably. Bronx Tale was good too. For a comedy I'd say Meet the Parents.

[telemore]

hide and seek

[A Spoonful Supreme]

taxi driver i guess

[telemore]

i had a feeling that it would be the general pick.

my pick as well, lol.

[-Listy-]

I never watched the whole of Taxi Driver.. :( I never got into it tbh...i'll need to give it another viewing lol.

I can't decide what I like him more in though..

the deer hunter, goodfellas, raging bull, the godfather pt 2, heat, once upon a time in america, king of comedy..

bah I can't decide..

[telemore]

deer hunter was really good too man

[-Listy-]

its probs more remembered for Christopher Walken's character I guess :p.

[FakePlasticTrees]

whoops! :x



I liked De Niro in the Godfather Part II and Heat.

[Iscariot]

heat

[telemore]

i still haven't seen heat :upset:

im too generous.

[EightMilesHigh]

taxi driver
raging bull
casino
deer hunter

fvck anything the man is in

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I want to see Heat again, I haven't in ages.

I can't really choose but Casino and The Deer Hunter are up there.

[Meatplow]

All these movies are good. Taxi Driver is it for me.

I think he brings a lot to any movie, even ones that aren't generally considered his classics. Has anyone seen The Fan? Echoes of an older Travis Bickle in that, gem of a movie that i reckon.

[pikester]

The first thing I thought of when I saw this thread was Casino... so I'll go with that.

[Wish]

Meet The Parents.

But seriously, probably Casino or Goodfellas.

[Amit]

heat was fantastic

[Iscariot]

123

i bought that movie without having seen it first simply because he was in it and it turned out to be an awesome movie

heat was fantastic

yesyesyes

[talk show host]

Taxi Driver probably. He's brilliant in The Deer Hunter too, but like someone said, Christopher Walken overshadows him a bit in that.

The King Of Comedy is another of my favourites, he's so creepy in it.

[Surf]

The King Of Comedy

This, or Heat, or Raging Bull.

He's been going pretty downhill, to state the obvious.
Wish he would start working with Scorsese again.

[Who's the Boss?]

Taxi Driver, Heat in close second. I remember renting Heat when it came out on VHS and it was like 3 tapes long, I own the DVD now though. :cool:

[poopoogaypoonn]

I forgot about heat :(

[Kage]

I need to watch Heat again.

[Darkness]

Part of the reason I think he was so good in The Godfather Part II was because he can speak Italian so well. Props for that.

[Tyrant21]

I think you are right on with that, the part also seems so natural to him. In any case, he's one of, if not the greatest actor on the planet.

[Grant]

Scorsese and DiCaprio asked him to play Frank Costello, but he was just getting "The Good Shepherd" into gear by that time. He would've been great in the role, I think. Better than Jack Nicholson? You bet.

[MrConeman]

Goodfellas for me.

[Bukowski]

Taxi Driver

I think I prefer Casino to Goodfellas.

[Kage]

I don't think he had a large enough role in Goodfellas to say it's his best movie really.

[Flynn]

Casino

/thread

[JohnXDoe]

anyone here ever see The Mission? almost never mentioned among fans of Bob but certainly one of his best films and performances.

That said this is a shi.t question but i'm going with Raging Bull...

[Chrysostom]

What was that film where he played a catatonic awoken by a miracle drug invented by Robin Williams? He got uncontrollable shakes as a side-effect. He was really good in that.

[JohnXDoe]

^ Awakenings. directed by penny marshall.

he has made a lot of good and interesting films. the one with jane fonda, Falling In Love, also comes to mind. he plays an illiterate ex con in that.

EDIT: oshi...and midnight run....

[Der Übermensch]

Taxi Driver. Heat is his best in recent years though.

[Darkness]

I really didn't like that movie. Probably because my religion class ruined it.

[thomas is fast]

I really liked him in Goodfellas.
Taxi Driver was awesome too.

[aria]

its out of taxi driver , casino or meet the parents

[EightMilesHigh]

I like that shot in Casino where Nicky and Sam drive out to the desert and you see the reflection in Sam's glasses.

[Tillius]

Better than Jack Nicholson? You bet.

MAYBE!!!

Jack Nicholson is a great actor as well, and did the part of Costello great.

I mean, I don't doubt that DeNiro would've done the role great, too, but I wouldn't necessarily say better than Nicholson.


Anyway, my answer for this thread would have to be either The Godfather pt. 2 or Goodfellas.

[Iscariot]

personally i think jack nicholson is always way too over the top

he's one of the reasons stephen king remade the shining

[Volumnius Flush]

i like meet the parents/fockers and this boy's life

[Zesty Mordant]

not really a "de niro movie" but Wag the Dog is a great film with him in it.

[Grant]

I mean, I don't doubt that DeNiro would've done the role great, too, but I wouldn't necessarily say better than Nicholson.

I would, De Niro is a far superior actor to Jack Nicholson. When he actually tries that is...
