Al Pacino Vs Robert De Niro

[LIST=1][*]Jack Nicholson[*]Marlon Brando[*]Robert De Niro[*]Paul Newman[*]Al Pacino[*]Robert Duvall[/LIST]

So the answer is De Niro.

Minus the recent"gotta get a paycheck" Meet The Fockers roles, De Niro takes it for me. I like Pacino when he plays it understated via The Godfather and Donnie Brasco as opposed to screaming over the top via Scarface. Both had title runs in the 70s. I mean, Serpico, Dog Day and The Godfather and The GodfatherPart 2; Mean Streets, The Godfather Part 2, Taxi Driver and The Deer Hunter. Tough, but overall Ill take De Niro i guess...

Great list. Nicholson is definitely my favorite actor as well.

I want to thank all my fans and neg those who didn't pick me :cheers:

All these "oh he did meet the fockers wtf" morons acting like comedy isn't still acting? Stop trying so hard, please.

Meet the Parents was a funny movie and a legitimate comedy, even the sequel was reasonably entertaining. There's zero shame in having been in it. It's not as if he was a major character in Pineapple Express or Welcome Home Roscoe Jenkins.


Dumb hipsters takin themselves too seriously..

Pacino

Both amazing actors. I tend to go back and forth with who I think is the best. A case can obviously be made for either but for now I'm going to say De Niro. It was awesome seeing them together in heat.

[QUOTE=AngelEyes]Today on AMC they aired the Godfather trilogy. The trilogy is centered around Michael (Al Pacino) and De Niro is also brilliant in the second one as young Vito. I don't know if I've ever seen a better more electric performance than the one Pacino gave in part II. If I were to compare their careers I think I might appreciate De Niro's a bit more however. Who do you think is the better actor and which has had the better career?[/QUOTE]

I preferred Al Pacino's earlier work more, but De Niro has done better later in life. Scarface is my favorite movie that either of them have been in.

BTW, apartments in that building now go for about 3,000 a month for a one bedroom. There's a [URL="http://www.gothiccabinetcraft.com/"]local furniture chain store[/URL] on you can see in the background, that still has the same sign from those days.

About 6 blocks away is the street where they recreated Old Little Italy in the Godfather movies.

The campaign office from Taxi Driver is now a Starbucks.

this thread is very similar to Kobe vs lebron. One has the better career, the other has the better prime.

:oldlol:

Even in Scarface, there were a couple of scenes where Pacino's New York accent slips out. Both are guilty of half-assing a few roles over the course of their long careers.

But they're both two of the GOATs, no doubt about that.

I love both of these guys. I can't really choose.

I subscribed to this thread though cause you guys are naming movies I've never seen before so I'll come back to this and watch those listed

Pacino will be in a Tarantino and Scorsese film this year. :eek:

De Niro's been playing the same character for the last 30 years.
