Who is better Pacino or DE Niro

[Quasar44]

No 2 actors in the history of movies even come close . They each have several amazing pictures if not dozens each.

Who wins, Who has better movies.. Who is the better actor


De Niro- Goodfellas, Casino, Untouchables, Raging Bull, Taxi Driver

Pacino- Godfather 1/2, Scareface, Dog Day, Carlitos Way, Serpico

De Niro, hands down

Pacino. He occupies his roles. De Niro just comes across as De Niro doing a bad impression of De Niro

What did you think of Dog day and Caritios way??

De Niro, hands down

I remember when he played that movie as a DERANGED baseball fan that kidnaps an allstars kid lol

Pacino, the theatre trained actor who was responsible for some of the most iconic characters in the history of movies compared to the main star in Rocky and Bullwinkle and Dirty Grandpa? I don't know, I'll have to think about it for a little while..

Pacino....By a mile.

I think Pacino is a better actor but I like DeNiro movies better.

You forgot Midnight Run.

Neither is better. Both are like two flavors of great ice cream, whichever floats your boat on any given day.

The one thing certain is that there are no new up and coming actors like them (Nicholson, Hoffman, Cagney, et al) or 50 other names to replace them.

Hollywood is like a charred ember now slowly dying out.

Didn't see the second one that I recall. Dog Day Afternoon taught young me if you ever rob a bank, don't ask for a getaway plane.

I just keep agreeing with you today. lol

I also think that.

I also think that.

That is because DeNiro being DeNiro is just such a really good FIT to so many really great movie formulas.

Pacino plays the hothead.

DeNiro is the quintessential smartmouth/hotshot/loser/winner/wise guy

 

[Quasar44]

De Niro plays insane villians so well

Pacino better at cops movies as Dectective

My favorite, is Jack Nicholson, started in the 50's with B movies, then hit the Big time with Easy Rider.

I like him too.

My cousins wife said I remind her of Jack Nicholson. At first I was mad because I am a female, but then I realized it's the personality traits she means. I grin alot and I partake of weed all day and I am direct and abrupt at times and I get agitated easily. (thus I use weed)

Glengarry Glen Ross alone puts Pacino on a difrerent level (though Lemmon stole the show) He is absolutely convicing as a sharp, no-ethics salesman. I see him in quite a few.guys I have known in the business world. Damn he was convincing in a natural way. He taps into a place that for him isn't really acting, there is a bit of every character he plays within him, astounding.

Jack was a big LSD user in his youth. He had a hand in writing the Monkees feature film: HEAD.

It was easy for him to play being a little crazy.

I don't think I've ever seen Jack in a movie where he wasn't good and I didn't like. He may literally make bad movies good, and good movies better.

Jack is like Movie Viagra.
