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

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.

His performance in Raging Bull still lingers in my head.

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.

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

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

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

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