best Robert De Niro performance
 
Which is his best performance?

Rival11 06-09-04 01:01 PM

Cape Fear is my personal fav. But The Deer Hunter is a close second.

1900

Good call. Great performances by all in that one.

That said, I voted Raging Bull.

Taxi Driver, Raging Bull, Godfather Part II, Heat....

It is hard to choose. I even liked him in The Score.

Where's Midnight Run?

Once Upon A Time In America

Rocky & Bullwinkle!

Spoiler:
Relax...I'm just kidding. :)

I voted for Taxi Driver, but Heat is my favorite De Niro movie.

talemyn 06-09-04 05:24 PM

I went with Cape Fear . . . that man was freaky.

OldBoy 06-09-04 06:07 PM

His performance in Raging Bull still lingers in my head.

MrX 06-09-04 07:31 PM

Raging Bull

MasterCXtreme 06-09-04 08:22 PM

I went with Goodfellas. Although he did an awesome job in Taxi Driver as well. Tough call between the two. I've been meaning to see Deer Hunter and Raging Bull for awhile.

DeltaSigChi4 06-09-04 09:19 PM

Definitely between Taxi Driver and Raging Bull in my eyes. I went with Taxi Driver.

birdseye 06-09-04 10:53 PM

I have to go with Taxi Driver, but I haven't seen Raging Bull yet.

Apone 06-10-04 12:29 AM

Taxi Driver. Raging Bull performance was great but the role Travis Bickle was more suiting. :)

movielib 06-10-04 01:07 AM

Taxi Driver

matome 06-10-04 08:20 AM

Damn hard to choose...I went with Cape Fear, just for his accent.

AGuyNamedMike 06-10-04 10:09 AM

Ouch, tough call. I'll go with Awakenings.

conscience 06-10-04 12:58 PM

I love Raging Bull. Love it. But Robert De Niro impressed me much more in Taxi Driver (so the latter is my pick)

NOW!

MrE 06-10-04 01:12 PM

Gotta go with TAXI DRIVER too. That's when De Niro first realized his potential onscreen.

OldBoy 06-10-04 09:03 PM

what no love for "Brazil"?
