Pacino vs. DeNiro

[trapsetter]

A lot of people like to compare these two actors, both from the talent standpoint and from the standpoint of which of them has made the better movies overall. I'd be curious to see where OOT stands on this topic.

I love them both, but DeNiro gets the nod as a better actor. As far as overall movies though.... it's tough to call.

[CheckRaise]

DeNiro for better actor and I don't thinks it's even close. Best movies is a toss up, I just can't choose one of them.

DeNiro, Pacino, but they're both pretty awesome.

Both of them in 1 movie = sweet

De Niro for both. Neither is close.

De Niro has Mean Streets, Taxi Driver, Raging Bull and Goodfellas, The Deer Hunter. All of those are great films. He was also in some solid films like Casino, Brazil and Meet the Parents.

Pacino has The Godfather Part I. That(and Godfather II, which De Niro was also in) are his only great films.

One of these things just doesn't belong here, one of these things just isn't the same.

Clearly, you haven't seen Serpico or Dog Day Afternoon.

Scarface, Scent of a woman and Insomnia are not noteworthy?

Dog Day Afternoon, Serpico, GlenGarry Glen ross are all great, IMO. I voted for Pacino, but on second thought, Deniro has just has so many more good movies to be in that it's a clear landslide in his favor.
