Pacino. Hands down. No comparison.

De Niro has played the same character for the past 20 years.

where does your bias come from nyc??

He's a good actor and better than Pacino, don't get me wrong.

My biases come from the following:

His love for New York. He started the Tribeca Film Festival to bring business to the downtown area when some businesses were considering leaving the area after 9/11. Oh, yeah, and his taste in women.

I second that. After Heat they have both gone downhill.

DeNiro is by far better. Taxi Driver, Godfather Part II, The Deer Hunter, Raging Bull, Casino, Goodfellas etc.

Yeah but Pacinos high point was Scarface and nothing overly impressive since then.

OK. I'll give you the Godfather movies as well but when did you ever see Pacino do a comedy? De Niro has alot more versatility IMO.

Scarface, Dog Day Afternoon, Heat, Angels in America, Insomnia, The Insider, Godfather, Donnie Brasco, Carlitos Way, Scent of a Woman, Dick Tracy, and Glengarry Glen Ross for the love of God.

vs

Hide and Seek, Godsend, Showtime, Analyze That, 15 Minutes, all the way back to Goodfellas...playing the exact same character.

The most used line when a person don't like certain actor.


Only actor who doesn't do it is Johnny Depp!
 
De Niro wasted his talent in way too many crappy movies
 
I still feel like I'm doing something morally wrong by comparing these two actors.

vs.

Raging Bull, Taxi Driver, Godfather Part II, The Deer Hunter, Cape Fear, Casino, Heat, Goodfellas, and Brazil.
 
PACINO, simply for the Godfather. Dog Day Afternoon and Scent of a Woman are Bonus.
I personally think that even though Scarface was a fun movie, the acting was so ridiculous and the writing was B-movie at best. I don't understand how so many people could like it over any of The Godfather movies (maybe 3 was about the same level).
 
what about donnie brasco.... pacino was great in that movie. i like em both but deniro has done quite a bit of fluffy crap for paychecks. beside that, i think pacino could kick his ass in a streetfight

I think Scarface blew away the Godfather movies. The Godfather movies were so slow and dreary. Scarface was upbeat, fancy cars, fancy women, fancy house and being in Miami blew away the dreariness of the godfather movies.

Scarface was fun to watch without having to think. There was no message, no layers, just flashiness and violence.
The Godfather series was more like watching chess. There was violence for sure, but every move was calculated. They showed how patience and planning, even in a violent setting can bring better results.
There was mystery as to which friends were actually enemies. There was a struggle between wanting to be legitimate and needing to keep past deeds from causing problems now and in the future. There were somewhat innocent people who needed to be shielded, but suffered anyway.
It's sort of like the difference between WWE and UFC. Both have their merits, and both have audiences; but one, although not as flashy, is more real.
 
on my top 10 list of movies would be Meet the Parents and Heat... so I'm gonna have to say Deniro. Heat was amazing though, when Pacino and DeNiro are on screen together, the chemistry is absolutely amazing
