pedalguy59: Neither of them are the greatest actor, pretty close as far
as method acting goes. A tougher one is picking a female one.


De Niro gets the nod for the lengths he went to for a role.
He was brilliant in Raging Bull.

Has to be Pacino..irresistible in Scent of a Woman. daydream he could put his slippers under my bed any day.
Oh, and he's a very good actor too. Absolutely brilliant as Shylock in Merchant of Venice.

Tough call. Pacino at the top of his game (Scent of a Woman, Godfather III, Heat) is really tough to beat, but so is DeNiro, and maybe DeNiro has been great more often. Goodfellas is probably my favorite movie of all time, and that was just so well played by all.

DeNiro is my sentimental pick. He can also play almost anything. In Mean Streets he was an unscrupulous punk, and in Casino he was an uptight mastermind type. He can make you love him or hate him whereas with Pacino you can't help but get the sense sometimes that he's really hamming it up.

Neither, both overrated IMO.

Philip Seymour Hoffman could act both of them off the screen.

In response to: OK EVERYONE, who's the greatest actor? De Niro OR Pacino? Forget their flops but think only of their best films...



De Niro didn't have the looks of Pacino but he is more diversified in his roles and I believe hands down, the better actor.

Same with Gene Hackman. Put him against Di Niro and it would be even harder to choose.

I reckon whoever is better at comedy. Comedy isn't easy apparently. I don't know of any by Pacino in this genre.
Maybe it's just the time of year but Billy Bob Thornton in Bad Santa comes to my mind..too funny.

De Niro - Raging Bull, Taxi Driver, Goodfellas,The Deer Hunter, Ronin
Picino - Scareface, Carlito's Way, The Godfather

De Niro is obviously the better actor and I do forgive him for the flops, because of all the great performances he had!!!
