You might say the same about John Wayne

and yet, they are both respected

Yep!

My favorite Robert De Niro films are;

Good Fellas
Casino
Analyze this
Analyze that

It's close with me. Searchers is impossible to beat, but Red River is right there, birthday girl.


Goodnight then, my friend. And many happy returns. :cheers:

Wish they'd put "The Shootist" on Blu ray!

 

[JPPT1974]

He is one of the best actors of our generation!

 

[serpentdove]

He just applies his character to the part he is given.

His Cape Fear character

isn't like his Meet the Parents character. :idunno:

Or Jimmy Stewart.

I've enjoyed every movie De Niro film.

But for sheer entertainment, I loved Midnight Run, when he played a bounty hunter and everything went wrong for him.

Yep :thumb:

Great, great film.

And Charles Grodin - fuhgetaboutit - he was absolutely hilarious!

Come to think about it; the way he would consistently drive the DeNiro character up the wall (set in his ways as the latter was) is exactly the same way by which I drive some of the MADs on here up the wall :chuckle:

Has De Niro ever played a more calm character than this?

De Niro auditioned for the part of Sonny in the first Godfather movie.
It went to James Caan instead.

The reason they gave for not choosing De Niro is because they said he was way too intense in his audition and REALLY got into the character, so much so that the folks conducting the audition said they were actually afraid of him!!!!!

Yeah, Grodin was hilarious (in that dry humor sort of way) and really got on the De Niro character's nerves.

"You guys are the dumbest bounty hunters I've ever seen! You couldn't deliver a bottle of milk!"

And here is that audition.

WARNING: De Niro uses an obscene word in this audition.

....can't act. He just applies his character to the part he is given. He is, in effect, just playing himself in different roles.

Agreed

John Wayne was my next example and I'm please that you also saw this. His playing the Roman Centurion in the greatest story ever told was the pits.

Yea a let down almost as bad as genghis Kahn
