Happy Birthday, Robert De Niro
Travis Bickle, Jake La Motta, Pat Solitano Sr., Vito Corleone....
De Niro has played so many incredible characters, it's hard to choose a favourite.
What are your top five picks?
Great montage here...

He's appeared in some complete crap too, Dirty Grandpa, Last Vegas, The Focker series.
One of my faves that doesn't get much of a mention is Heat where his ultra professional bank robber persona goes up against Al Pacino the shambolic personal life detective. Also mentions for Ronin, Casino, Cape Fear and his frightening portrayal of Capone in The Untouchables.

Ye in recent years Mr. De Niro will pretty much turn up anywhere where there’s a paycheque. |

Taxi Driver
Mean Streets
Godfather 2
Raging Bull
Once Upon A Time In America
He started appearing in anything due to funding his Tribeca complex, I assume that's why he still does it.

Cape Fear’s one of my favourites.Just got the original on dvd.See if it’s better than the remake. Two different films. The Scorcese film is brilliantly executed but the original Max Cady played by the late, great Robert Mitchum is more subtle and less OTT. Both great movies with what have to be one of the most stirring soundtracks ever composed.👍 |
