Whats your best Robert de Niro film ?

Recommended Posts

Really liked him in goodfellas, cape fear, jacky brown and more so in casino which I'm going to watch again tonight actually as I haven't seen it for ages. Some websites state that the f word is used more than 350 times during that movie lol. I also remember seeing de niro in a film called the fan which was quite good.

Casino. I remember when I was younger I was looking forward to watching it on TV for about a week, then the day it came on I did something really naughty and wasn't allowed to watch it, I was so gutted!:sad:

He is great in Jackie Brown, as someone else has already posted. What I like about his role is how he's playing a bit more of a "background" character to what you'd normally expect - in spite of this, he still tends to be the centre point of all the scenes he's in. Cracking film and great soundtrack.

Heat, I love it. That scene with Al in the cafe is brill. Also when he is telling his girlfriend that he would just walk away, then actually does later in the film, excellent.

His best film is Godfather 2, but his best performance is Taxi Driver.

 

I'm also a big fan of Brazil although he's hardly in it and gives an 'eccentric' performance.

 

As others have mentioned King of Comedy is an under-seen little gem whose message gets ever more prescient.
