De Niro or Al Paccino

[Lamp]

Who's the better actor / who do you prefer ?

 

[GimmlyTheDorf]

Robert De Niro because of the amount of good films he's been in.

 

[old.Tohtori]

I like Al Pacino, don't know this Paccino dude, but voted for him for a hella cool name

Oh and this whole f*cking thread is out of order!

 

[cHodAX]

Got to be Al, he was just awesome in Carlito's Way, one of my all time favourite films.

 

[MaCaBr3]

Scarface > *

Great to see them both together acting in Heat. Both were good, but Pacino stole the show imo

 

[Heta]

After those Meet the parents and Meet the Fockers De Niro turned into crapers, Pacino wins by a longshot

 

[Kinag]

I don't really know what to say here, I like them both and I think they're both amazing actors.

But I think I'll go for Al Pacino :-s

 

[Dreamor]

Has to be Al Pacino,

Godfather
Scarface
Carlito's Way
The Devils Advocate
Donnie Brasco
The Recruit

All quality films but I do like Robert De Niro for Goodfellas / Showtime / Analyze This - which shows he can do all kinds of film roles and not get pegged into 1 set of films...

true
but everyone has seen Godfather so thats a given really

true

Not true, a guy at work can pretty much quote any film... but had never seen The Godfather... I almost fel off my chair

He had seen Casino and the rest of em, but never got round to seeing Godfather, bizzarre.

Paccino is the one of my favourite bad guy actors! He looks like he's genuinly evil.. Just look at him! He's played the devil himself!

 

[Bahumat]

Al Pacino by a long shot

"You just cost me 6000 dollars" haha love that soundboard

Was a film about the Bronx with DeNiro which i really liked too

 

[~Latency~]

Hmmm I think De Niro in Awakenings is still one of the best bits of acting I have seen tbh... but Pacino in Scent of a Woman is equally brilliant..

I have just sat here trying to decide which of them is better and though maybe just maybe De Niro edges it, I cant decide for sure as they are both pure class.

I know what you mean. If you look at the lists of movies I posted, De Niro has been in bigger movies. Perhaps De Niro is such a good actor that he makes acting look easy. Whereas Pacino is just super-cool. Its a really hard one to call. I prefer Pacino, but I think De Niro is more successful. If that makes sense.

 

[Adlatus Hellbringer]

I would say robert de niro is the better actor. However they are pretty much on par with each other... Heat is an awesome example of this... if you havnt seen heat go and buy it /dl it now !! de niro vs. pachino ftw

They are worth watching, but only if you like Gangsta films

Seen Casino? thats a good one also

 

[Lamp]

Goodfellas is awesome

Afraid not. HAven't really gotten into the new era gangter film thing.

Sure i've seen some sopranos now and then, but that's about it. Unless you count analyse this.

Have to check if i can find the dvd's from a friend and brush up on my modern gangsta.

I liked the 40's more

 

[ilaya]

Once Upon A Time In America is another classic De Niro film.

 

[Huntingtons]

dont make me vote donny brasco is an all time favorite movie, but a deniro/pesci (+ scorsese) combo is one hell of a killer tbh. great fucking actors imo. bah, love them both, maybe just pacino a tiny itty witty bit more.

 

[Shagrat]

I dont think you just need to like gangster films, the Godfather and Goodfella's are worth watching just as an examples of well directed, brilliantly cast and superbly acted movies.

Really, really tough choice to choose between Pacino and De Niro, so I wont, so ner.

 

[Outlander]

de niro is the better actor, but pacino has the more memorable roles

I love em both

 

[Svartmetall]

Voted De Niro because I think he's a far more rounded and versatile actor; I like Pacino, but I feel that he basically plays the same character over and over. Al Pacino is always Al Pacino; Robert de Niro can be anyone.
