What is your favorite DeNiro movie?

[Omanko]

What curious timing for this poll, as I recently (like this week) just finished rewatching Goodfellas and Casino; gotta love Joe Pesci!  I voted for Godfather II, but also really like A Bronx Tale and Once Upon A Time In America.  What about Falling In Love?

It's hard to pick just one but I'm surprised Lefty didn't mention Jackie Brown it's one of my favorite Quentin Tarantino movies and Lefty seems to be a fan of Tarantino as I am.

I voted for Taxi Driver as I started driving a cab in New York about tghe same time the movie came out.

Although I think both Godfather 2 and Goodfellas are better movies, DeNiro is not the main star in either.  

Quite an impressive list of movies.  Mean Streets not on the list and I also liked the heist movie he did with Ed Norton.

Raging Bull got lots of critical acclaim often voted the best movie of the 80's.

Cape Fear may be his most chilling performance though.

Cant choose one, for me the actor of my generation, and i guess a whole lot of others too. I cant think of a bad one he's made. Superb actor.

My top 3 de Niros have to be the Deerhunter, Goodfellas and Heat. Vote for the best though has to be Heat- the interaction between his and Pacino's characters is superb. There's something to be said for method actors and he says it all

Once Upon A Time In America for me

Robert Mitchum did a cooler and more menacing Max Cady in the original though

The diner scene was cool.

(jimslim @ Feb. 13 2010,08:35) Robert Mitchum

Think he has a small role in the remake.

I had Heat in my number 1 spot on the movie thread. De Niro was fantastic in it.

I also thought he was very good in Stardust. Maybe its because I can relate to his character in it

All of them!
He is just a great actor!

One of my favorite films stars DeNiro.... & Robert Duvall too: True Confessions.
Not a big hit but well written & beautifully acted & bears up under repeated viewings like Godfather I & II.

[Lefty]

I'm a big QT fan, literally and figuratively, and I love Jackie Brown. I love any movie based on an Elmore Leonard novel. He is a brilliant writer. I was doing my best to decide which 9 DeNiro movies would garner the most votes. Not picking my 9 favorites for everyone to decide from.

My favorite DeNiro flix are Taxi Driver (some would say it is a biography of a youthful PigDogg) , A Bronx Tale, and Jackie Brown. I just thought most voters in the thread would not select the latter two over the ones I listed. In retrospect, I should have added Once Upon a Time in America instead of 15 Minutes. Realizing the latter is just one I liked, more than one of his most popular.
