Any time you are talking about the greatest actors working today, one actor that is always in the discussion is Robert De Niro. It does not matter if he is starring in a drama, comedy or even animated film, Robert De Niro's enthusiasm and love for acting always seems to shine through. He has done it all, and deserves to be as successful as he is.
This article will highlight some of Robert De Niro's most prestigious films in which he has starred.
Probably my favorite Robert De Niro film of all time is the Martin Scorsese directed mafia film Goodfellas. This movie won the Academy Award for best picture in 1991, and with good reason. This is a true rags to riches story, and just so happens to be based on the true story of Henry Hill.
Another movie that is certainly on my top 5 Robert De Niro list is Heat. This movie is one of very few that stars both Robert De Niro and Al Pacino, probably the two greatest actors working today. This movie is directed by Michael Mann and is an absolutely incredible film.
Another film that must be mentioned any time you talk about the best of the best Robert De Niro movies is without a shadow of a doubt, Casino. This movie is directed by the great Martin Scorcese and also stars Joe Pesci. Robert plays Sam Rothstein, a very powerful casino owner who plays by his own rules out in Las Vegas.
I have actually yet to see Brazil, but I often see this film on many great movie lists. Robert De Niro stars in this 1980 classic that movie fans around the world seem to agree is one of director Terry Gilliam's best.
Finally, I felt that A Bronx Tale was a film that was worth mentioning. This is one of the few mob films that stars Robert De Niro as the good guy! Chazz Palmienteri, who also happened to write the script, plays the bad guy in this one.
Hopefully there is one or more films from the great Robert De Niro that you have yet to see on this list.
