You missed some of his best. Heat, Casino, The Untouchables, or my personal favourite, Cape Fear.

Robert De Niro is just incredible.

Hi Ryan,

De Niro can be great and has been on many occasions but I absolutely loathedMeet the Parents and Analyze This, embarrassing and unfunny.

But he does have a flair for comedy in Scorsese'sThe King of Comedy and opposite Sean Penn in the remake of We're No Angels plus Midnight Run is a great buddy comedy. Oh and Mad Dog and Glory also amused

Here is a list of my other favourite De Niro films: (Not in any order)

Godfather 2
Once Upon A Time in America
Heat
Angel Heart
Ronin
Goodfellas
The Mission
Taxi Driver
Raging Bull
Brazil
Deer Hunter
The Untouchables
Copland
Jackie Brown
1900
Mean Streets
Greetings


It's tough to cite an overall favourite because all these films contain such impressive De Niro moments.

whew, JD, that's a long list of De Niro movies...

for me, it's all about "Goodfellas". You may know who we are, but now we know who you are.

De Niro fan No. 1 here!

Greetings is an average movie but De Niro is the best thing in it. He's probably better in the sequel Hi Mom!

Bang the Drum Slowly and Mean Streets are both great early roles. He kills it in both.

Then there's the obvious classics - Taxi Driver, Raging Bull[b], [b]Deer Hunter, Godfather II, Cape Fear...

Goodfellas is an awesome movie but De Niro is just window dressing in it, he pretty much sleepwalks through it.

Some of his underrated early 90s/late 80s stuff (before he started phoning it in) is great too - This Boy's Life, Awakenings, Midnight Run (THE de niro comedy, forget fockers and analyzing crap), Jackie Brown.

King of Comedy is great too. He should've been nominated for that. He's really good in Brazil too, but underutilised.

I didn't think The Mission was much chop, De Niro should've gone more over the top for that one.

Your list is decent, and I have a few comments to make... First and foremost, I have seen practically every single DeNiro film and Raging Bull is far and away his best overall perfomance! Without a doubt the best boxing film ever made, from the music to the camera angles! The cinematography is 2nd2none. The rocky series is a baby mama drama! "It is not in the same ballpark it's not in the same league it's not even in the same fucking sport." Godfather II was a great film and Vito Andolini/Corleone could have been played by non other than Mr. DeNiro! Goodfellas was a awesome movie, but Joe Pesci stole the show, DeNiro was average at best. One of the best character actors of all-time! Analyze this or that, whatever it was called is junk... But he is absoluetly hilarious and a son in laws worst nightmare in meet the parents and meet the fockers, can't wait to see him in the new one 'little fockers!' as for his directorial debut in The good Shepherd... It is the best spy movie I have ever seen! any way u slice it DeNiro is a legend who will go down as one of the best ever!
