Devil advacote and scarface were pacino best imho where de niro has loads.
Cape fear was another top film by de niro
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.
