Whats your best Robert de Niro film ?

Recommended Posts

I don't like him at all. Was he Serpico? I did like him in Ronin so please ignore the first sentence.

 

'Serpico' was Al Pacino.

As great an actor Robert De Niro is sometimes it shows when some of them are just in a film for a good 'payday' ie; 'Silver Linings Playbook'- De Niro, Ho hum- Film, Awful.

I was a huge fan of De Niro in the 80’s I’d go as follows with his best:

 

70’s

 

The Godfather pt 2

Taxi Drive – possibly his best individual performance

The Deer Hunter – the Russian roulette scene is fantastic

 

I could never warm to Mean Streets from this era.

 

80’s

 

Raging Bull – the best sports film ever made

King of Comedy – very unerrated

Once Upon A Time In America – very confusing but very good

The Untouchables – chilling performance as Capone

Midnight Run – another very underrated film

 

90’s

 

Goodfella’s

A Bronx Tale

Casino

Jackie Brown – perhaps his last really great role

 

I think the late 90’s was where he started to lose his way, in his earlier career he seemed to wait for the great roles after this period he seemed to appear in virtually anything, a case of quantity over quality and not been in much of note since, lets hope Scorsese can give us another great performance in the upcoming The Irishman.
