    Nah, i never liked the Godfather stuff.

    Scarface and advocate were his best films to me.

    Robert de niro has so many different types of films BUT were any of his films better than scarface?

    Either way, on the whole de niro wins.

    I prefer joe pesci to al pacino.

    At least joe done a "my cousin vinny" type of film which shows variation.

    You dont have to be great actor to show that side but pacino major trump card will always be scarface.

    We all have more Travis Bickle in us than Scarface if we're honest, especially Master

    For me it's impossible to pick. Both guys are universally recognized top 5 ATGs.

    Pacino, I still say, had the best decade of movie making out of any actor EVER in the 70's.

    Panic in Needle Park
    The Godfather
    Serpico
    The Godfather 2
    Dog Day Afternoon
    And Justice for All

    Six legendary movies in the span of 8 years, unreal. Then you add in Scarface, Scent of a Woman, Carlito's Way (underrated gangster classic), Glengarry Glen Ross, Heat, Donnie Brasco, Devil's Advocate, Insomnia, ect ect. How can you go wrong? He has incredible range and incredible acting chops. His movies have been mostly garbage over the last decade or so, but I thought he was great in the HBO biopics for Jack Kevorkian and Phil Spector.

    Deniro you got Mean Streets, Taxi Driver, Godfather 2 (all in the span of a couple years), Deer Hunter (if you want to see legendary acting, the russian roulette scenes are about as good as it gets), Raging Bull... he was awesome in the King of Comedy. Untouchables, Goodfellas, Casino, the Cape Fear remake (amazing in it). He even played Frankenstein and was great.

    It's hard to pick.
