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.
Here are my top 5 favorite Robert De Niro movies of all time.
I will start out by mentioning just one of his many incredible films that he and Martin Scorsese collaborated on, and that is none other than Goodfellas. This movie is based on the true story of mobster Henry Hill and his gang of cronies. Along with Mr De Niro, Joe Pesci and Ray Liotta are stellar in this film.
Another great movie from this incredibly talented actor is The Score. Also starring Edward Norton, in this film Robert De Niro plays a talented jewelry thief nearing the end of his career, but has one more heist he wants to pull off.
Casino is one of my favorite films that happen to star Robert De Niro. It came as no surpise that this movie was awesome as it had the certified stamp of De Niro, Pesci and Scorsese working together, a surefire combination for a memorable film.
It would pain me to make a list of Robert De Niro films without mentioning The Godfather Part II. It is hard to imagine anyone else bringing the brilliance to Mario Puzo's Vito Corleone the way that De Niro did it. This is arguably one of the greatest films ever made.
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.
While these films comprise my top five favorites, I may feel the need to write a follow up article listing films 6-10 very soon.
