Default De Niro or Pacino
Who do you think is the better actor/has the better filmography?

When De Niro gives the guy that vicious shoeing in The Irishman it just might be his greatest performance.

Laughed so hard at old man De Niro shoeing scene. No way Scorsese gets a pass for that garbage.

I prefer DeNiro by a fair amount but he’s definitely been in some bad movies the last 20 years or so. Like many guys my age I’m a huge fan of both. Seeing them face off in Heat is still a treat to watch.
Favorites for each:
Pacino-
Godfather 1 and 2
Serpico
Dog day afternoon
Donnie Brasco
Heat
Carlito’s Way
Heat
Glengarry
Scarface

DeNiro-
Bang the drum slowly
Mean streets
Godfather 2
Deer Hunter
Raging Bull
Once upon a time in America
Angel heart
Midnight Run
Goodfellas
Cape fear
Night and the city
Mad dog and glory
This boys life
Bronx tale
Casino
Jackie Brown
Wag the dog
Ronin

Nah hes from a newer era; by the time he made his film debut let alone became a star De Niro and Pacino already had numerous classics under their belt. If you’re looking for a third I’d take Jack Nicholson. Maybe Gene Hackman. Or Dustin Hoffman.

De Niro but Pacino had more varied roles.

Man this is tough. I think I gotta go Bobby, but Scarface is just such a great performance...

Jack would be a good choice for their contemporary but he wouldn’t finish 3rd.

I voted De Niro but Pacino in "Scent of a Woman" is an all time favorite.

Heat another all time favorite minus the ending.
