...huh? What about people that think Scarface and Goodfellas are both fantastic? *head explodes*

i actually like both, just i like goodfellas a lot more

better acting in goodfellas in my opinion

Heat was one of the best movies I have ever seen.

Any Given Sunday was a damned good movie. Especially for football junkies. Everything that happened in the movie seemed real enough to me. The only thing over the top was the eyeball laying on the field.

Any given sunday was such a shitty movie.

only good part in the movie was when LL sniffed coke off of that beautiful tittie...why? cause that tittie was so beautiful.

but damn, what a stupid movie...remember the part when the guy's eye popped out of his socket from a tackle?! lol...so fuckin CHEESY!

I enjoyed Any Given Sunday. Maybe because I play football so I was able to appreciate it more, despite the problems it had. "Shitty" and "terrible" are for people who don't enjoy a movie and aren't capable of tempering their opinions.

Goodfellas is better than Scarface, and Scarface is overrated. Scarface is not as well directed as Goodfellas, and the story's not as interesting (has a lot to do with Scorsese's storytelling skills).

 

[yacobod]

DeNiro
Taxi Driver
Raging Bull
Godfather II
Casino
Goodfellas
Midnight Run
Cape Fear
Deer Hunter

Pacino
Scarface
Godfather I and II
Donnie Brasco
Dog Day Afternoon
Scent of a Woman

Comparing each actor's respective best films, I would have to give the edge to DeNiro.

 

[sefskillz]

Everyone is forgetting Glengarry Glen Ross and Angels in America it seems. I'm taking Pacino.

 

[Fixed2BeBroken]

Pacino: "I KNOW HOW TO YELL BETTER THAN YOU DO WITH SPIT COMING OUT MY MOUTH!!!!"

they need to make a movie with pacino and sam jackson...

see who can out yell each other.

 

[Diablos]

Is Pacino known for "SAY HELLO TO MY LITTLE FRIEND?"

No!

 

[nitewulf]

How come Merchant of Venice never got any attention? It only has 651 votes at IMDB, for instance, and I don't remember it being released in theatres. Haven't seen it myself, but it looks interesting.

i really don't know. i havent seen it yet, but from all accounts of friends and aquintances, its a very good film and pacino is apparently excellent in it.

yaco, you missed serpico and the insider for pacino.

the insider = this movie pretty much defines boring.

Any Given Sunday is a shit movie ... this shouldn't even be a point of discussion.


I think ESPN's Playmakers was more realistic .. and that show was average at best.

So, couple that with all the money and big name stars involved in the movie, and it is a BOMB.

 

[Atrex]

I like them both of course, and its hard to choose which is better...but Pacino did win in "Heat" which i believe is the only movie to star both of them together .(obviously meaningless)

 

[BlackSalad]

Is Pacino known for "SAY HELLO TO MY LITTLE FRIEND?"

No!

whaaa....?

 

[Diablos]

Oops, made a typo. You know what I mean.

 

[isamu]

um

Deniro > Pacino.

I love pacino...scarface is probably my all time favorite movie..but regardless, Deniro is a better "ACTOR" than pacino.

Pacino is great...but one thing pacino tends to do More than Deniro....is play a character but brings alot of himself Into the character rather than BE the character...kinda like how Tom Cruise always seems kinda like Tom Cruise but with a different name and title (with the exception of collatoral)

Deniro on the other hand Will embody a character tottally different where you cant even believe that's actually deniro playing that role.

Watch Goodfellas...then Watch Cape Fear.

I also tend to have liked more movies that Deniro was in than Pacino was in...alot of Pacino's recent movies have been average or crap......

peace

I declare this thread closed! Fantastic answer!

They're both two of my favorite actors, with absolutely fantatsic bodies of work under them. But they both get trumped by this man....

Greatest....actor........ever.

 

[Late Stage Marxist]

I'm a big fan of both, but I'm gonna have to go with DeNiro on this one:

A Bronx Tale
Casino
Cape Fear
The Deer Hunter
Flawless
The Godfather Part II
Goodfellas
Heat
Jackie Brown
Mean Streets
Once Upon A Time in America
Raging Bull
Taxi Driver

And pile of other movies...
