He is definitely one of my favorites! Which of his movies did you like the best? I know he's done a lot of great movies that I haven't even seen(like Raging Bull) but a few that I like are:
Awakenings
Backdraft
Meet the Parents
Meet the Fockers
Sleepers
I don't think there is a more chameleon like actor in the world like De Niro. He can be a gangstar, a rapist, a cabbie, a boxer. Who else would put on 50 pounds for a role, or shave his hairline back?
A Robert De Niro thread with only 14 posts?! What is the world up to?
Anyhoo. This man is great, hands-down.
Mean Streets, The Godfather: Part II, Taxi Driver, The Deer Hunter, Raging Bull, The Untouchables, Goodfellas, Awakenings, Cape Fear, Casino, Heat, Wag the Dog and Ronin. Need I say more?
Except, when De Niro's bad he's 'mumbling, why am i in this film, method, la la la'
and when Pacino's bad he's: 'I'M AL PACINO, FUCKING SHOUT AT THE TOP OF MY VOICE BECAUSE THAT'S HOW PEOPLE ARE GOING TO KNOW I'M GOOD, BY OVERACTING, I'M TALKING ABOUT FUCKING SCENT OF A WOMAN OVERACTING"
