DeNiro or Pacino?

[DaveBrown74]

Which of these two icons is/was the better actor?

Which one has had the better overall career?

Please explain your answers. Also please provide your favorite couple of movies that each was in.

Pacino who had more than one personality. One for each character. But DeNiro in the Shining was one of the all time great roles.

Loved the scene they played in together.

Were you thinking of a different movie from The Shining? Unless DeNiro had some really minor role in that (which I don't recall that he did), Jack Nicholson was the main actor from the Shining.

You're right.

You're right.

Regarding the movie they were in together, "Heat", I fully agree that was very fun to watch (assuming that is what you meant).

I think it's a very tough call to put one above the other (hence why I asked). I find that sometimes Pacino overacts a little bit, so I'd probably go DeNiro, but obviously both are legends and there is no "right" answer here.

DeNiro's performance in "Cape Fear" was tremendous. He was truly menacing in that.

I was a fan of Roberto Duran and googled him because I knew he was going to be 72 soon. I stumbled upon the movie Hands Of Stone with DiNiro as Ray Arcel. Never knew of the movie. I enjoyed it. If you're a fight fan from that era, I recommend it. Lots of insight into his demons that drove him up and down.

Great tip, thanks. I am totally unaware of this movie, but I'm interested. I'll take a look for sure. Thanks again.
