When making a list of the greatest actors working today, one person that often goes overlooked is Joe Pesci. Maybe that is because he quietly has been staying away from the silver screen; in the past ten years, he has only been in two films. You cannot question the films this man has been in though. He is a truly amazing actor.
It is a shame that Joe Pesci has not been in more movies recently, as he is such an incredible actor. The following movies are some of my favorites that he has starred or been featured in.
It goes without saying that Home Alone makes the cut. Who would have thought that a humorous story about a boy getting left home on the holidays would translate into such an iconic film? Maybe Pesci knew this franchise had legs.
I have to include Casino on this list. I absolutely loved Scorsese's depiction of the Las Vegas underworld, and Pesci, Sharon Stone and Robert De Niro were all brilliant in this film.
While he may not have been the starring role, one movie that I certainly enjoyed featuring Joe Pesci was A Bronx Tale. This film reunited the duo of Pesci and De Niro, and it would not be the last time they would star in a film together.
It's tough to make a list of Joe Pesci films without mentioning one of his best roles, which was the part of Leo Getz in the Lethal Weapon films. Pesci provided ample humor to all three installments in which he was featured.
One of the best movies of the early 1980s was, without a doubt, Raging Bull. This was not your Disney boxing film; this is a dark and gritty performance, by both Pesci and De Niro. Robert De Niro was very much deserving of his Academy Award for Best Actor in a Leading Role.
As of now, this is my list. I have still not seen Once Upon a Time in America, which is supposed to be excellent as well. That film just may make the cut.
