De Niro or Pacino?
View this Thread in Original format
Coup
I know this was done last year but it wasnt a poll so couldnt really see who won. A while back id have gone for De Niro on this but watching more and more Pacino films hes just fantastic, even if he does spend most of his time shouting. His performance in Heat is just masterclass.

So, debate reopened!

de niro's had more oscar nods and has been in the better films

This is a great debate!

My pick is De Niro because of Casino, Goodfellas, Cape Fear, The Score and of course Heat.

Crap this is tough though......Pacino pwning the dean in Scent Of A Woman, I love that.

dinero has been in A LOT more "better" films than al (taxi driver, raging bull, goodfellas, godfather part 2, deer hunter, the untouchables, a bronx tale, casino, heat, jackie brown, etc.) BUT al pacino's SCARFACE is better than all those put together so i gotta say pacino.

De Niro. Only thing i can think of Pacinos that I really like is Scarface.
Porky
both those guys are pure class. i love watching their classics. but i'm not sure who to pick between the two.


i did enjoy however, the pacino/deniro diner scene in heat where they act opposite each other for the first time on celluloid. did u know? when michael mann approached both pacino and deniro for their respective parts in the movie Heat, neither knew about the other's participation?

that's amore!

Not even Italy like De niro.

It's the truth

it seems we're all forgetting The Devil's Advocate, Donnie Brasco, The Insider, The Godfather
all of which, i think, combined with Scarface, make Pacino just a tad bit better.

I would have to say Pacino, Why?, Well, He's getting his own video game for crying out loud. :)
