Hyperion Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 Fucking hell, can't believe I forgot The Untouchables. Mind you, Connery blows him away in that, for me.He certainly does. Plus I felt Billy Drago was the biggest heel of the movie, all the saddest scenes in the film were caused by him personally. Still to this day when I pick up my friend from his house, I wind down the window and shout "Hey...nice house....I said 'nice house'" as soon as he comes out the front door, though I'm a million miles away from the menace of Drago.

Loki Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 I'll have to go with The Godfather Pt 2. It's not even as simple as mimicking Brando's mannerisms, he manages to capture the essence of that character without putting cotton wool in his mouth and rolling his shoulders a lot. To take such an iconic character, as portrayed by one of the great screen actors, and basically out-do him, is some incredible feat. Â For me, De Niro's career for the last 15 or 20 years has seemed almost like one massive joke at our expense, an attempt to eradicate his reputation as it were. Barring maybe Heat and Jackie Brown, it's all eye-rolling and finger-pointing. Which is still better than a lot of other actors, but it's no Travis Bickle.

Fat Boy Mendoza Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 For me it has to be Awakenings. I love that film and I think De Niro was tremendous in it. It is such a different portrayal to a lot of his other films (Goodfellas, Casino, Heat). I don't own this film but I watch it every time it is on TV and it always brings a tear to my eye. Mork is also good in this film as well despite having the hairiest arms this side of Richard Keys ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WildSybianRider Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 It's not a gimmick, just that I tend to open fast reply and then c&p. Not sure why everyone cries off about it so much but I'll try and remember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quicker than copying and pasting, no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 I don't know if the lack of Raging Bull love is a sign of the age group of the forum members, or that everyone is completely retarded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's more a case of having too many great films to choose from, I was about to lament the lack of love for Casino and Sleepers myself. I can't choose between the two as my favourite.

Hyperion Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 I'm actually wondering how Raging Bull 2 is gonna turn out, no way will it touch the first one. Can see it being a straight to DVD film that barely registers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
