Nicholson has always creeped me out. Never liked him.

Re: Nicholson VS DeNiro
 

Jack Nicholson.

Never really liked DeNiro tbh.

:thumbsup:

Thanks for coming to my rescue Jules.

Re: Nicholson VS DeNiro
 

Raging Bull is an exceptional black comedy.

Re: Nicholson VS DeNiro
 

At the end of the 80's critics voted it best 80's movie.

Re: Nicholson VS DeNiro
 

Both are icons, but my preference is Jack.

I recently saw The Postman Always Rings Twice - dark, twisted film, but Jack and Jessica Lange are amazing in it.

Re: Nicholson VS DeNiro
 

The same reason he won every one of his Oscars starting back in 1976.
He has friends in Hollywood that like him and vote for him.

Del Amo Mall Parking Lot. Torrance. About 1/2 mile from my house.

My friend and I got caught shoplifting a Pink Floyd 8 track tape from Mongomery Wards in almost that exact spot when we were in 10th grade.

Re: Nicholson VS DeNiro
 

Cuckoo's Nest, The Shining, and Chinatown almost make the decision clear in comparison to DeNiro's body of work, then Five Easy Pieces and The Last Detail clench the deal for Nicholson in my book.

Re: Nicholson VS DeNiro
 

What it should make clear to you is all of those Jack performances are the same.
GODFATHER 2 , TAXI DRIVER, RAGING BULL all 3 different performances by DeNiro.

Re: Nicholson VS DeNiro
 

Yep.

Re: Nicholson VS DeNiro
 

Uh...motherfucking no.

Chinatown alone is loads different from The Shining.

Not going to argue about the difference in performance from De Niro, that's a fucking fact that's known. Talking about Taxi Driver...I need to see my Blu again..damn good looking bitch it was.

Also...it's De Niro...w/ a space.

Re: Nicholson VS DeNiro
 

Went with DeNiro. Though can't really argue with those who prefer Jack.

Re: Nicholson VS DeNiro
 

Robert de Niro is my favorite actor so I have to go with him. His 70s output alone is phenomenal.

Re: Nicholson VS DeNiro
 

His 80's is very good too.

Re: Nicholson VS DeNiro
 

And the nineties was good for De Niro too- Goodfellas, Awakenings, Cape Fear, Casino, Heat, Ronin, Wag the Dog, Jackie Brown...

Re: Nicholson VS DeNiro
 

So I guess it's safe to say, for the sake of generalities... De Niro had a great 3 decades?

Re: Nicholson VS DeNiro
 

Absolutely- the last decade is where he's really stumbled IMO. The Focker movies, Showtime, Machete, Righteous Kill...he hasn't been in a great film in years.

Re: Nicholson VS DeNiro
 

Jack Nicholson seems to have slowed down in terms of acting. He's only done one film in five years. But de Niro just keeps pumping them out. He has four films coming out next year!
