Their virtually indistinguishable from eachother. Replace the other in a film the opposite actor starred in and nothing would change.

nah nah nah, they differentiated themselves a little

They're.

lol no they didn't

De Niro can't freak out like Al Pacino can though, De Niro has those little subtle outburst of anger, like in Jackie Brown, but he can't do it like Pacino.

But de niro has other quirks that pacino can't do. Honestly I've watched so many films with both of them I don't even remember which one starred in which in like half.

De Niro in my opinion.

Robert was a great actor but Al hasn't made a fool of himself.

De Niro

????????

Just about to post this in response.

De Niro pulls off unmatched subtlety in his performances, but Pacino is very moving and has unmatched in full force emotion at work. It depends on the character. De Niro could have never pulled off scarface, but likewise Pacino would been a horrible Travis Bickle

DeNiro established him self as a house hold name, so him.

in life? not De Niro

Deniro was consistently better but gave more traditional performances.

Pacino was GOAT less frequently but when he hit it right he did it in a way only pacino could do. Think godfather, scent of a woman or devils advocate

De Niro, by the sheer volume of incredible performances he's given. Pacino has a good amount, but De Niro definitely outnumbers them.

lmao

So was Pacino. As a kid I heard of his name from my parents way before I heard of DeNiro.

Pacino, not even a debate.

filthy mudbloods


day of rope cannot come soon enough

De Niro has jungle fever, it is just the way he is

Honestly I like Pacino more.

The man can chew scenery like no other.

Al was in so many 10/10s you might as well call him Al Pakino

END MY MISERY

I prefer a varied Dog Day Afternoon, Devil's Advocate, Ocean's 13 and Panic in Needle Park over The Untouchables, Goodfellas, Casino and Taxi Driver.

What the fuck is AI?

short for Alfred or Alphonse

Al Pacino, you stupid fucking dumb AND stupid retard.

I fucking hate Heat, most overrated trash of a film fuck them both

They are both the quintessential Italian idiots who spent the all money they were making when young, and now in their old age they can't retire and they are just dragging themselves from one inane job to the other like zombies.
They will be remembered as examples of ruined legacy in the show business.

How can you hate Heat? I know it's 3 hours long, but De Niro at least drops the girl at the end of it, instead of going back like literally 100/100 movies would do otherwise

Watch the Godfather part 2 and tell me they're indistinguishable

I read it as Ai. Like Artificial Intelligence

I like Pacino more. Donnie Brasco, Manglehorn, etc.

Why do you have to do this? Why can't we just have a simple discussion without it turning into a Sup Forums thread? People like you make life less enjoyable for everyone else. Seriously, think of what you just did right there. OP asked a question regarding Robert De Niro's acting ability, and the first thought you have is to mention the fact that he had children with a black person. How insecure are you? You literally make your entire race look bad.
>Inb4 Hello, R3ddit.
Just further proof of how much this place has ruined you.

De Niro isn't in that film?

de niro has no range, plays the same character in everything
al pacino has some range and can do some comedy/ light humor


de niro is just perturbed italian guy

pacino is an actor

De Niro is the superior actor, Pacino is the superior man.

What about DeNiro's role in awakening? That was very different from his normal roles

I hate pol so god damn much. I wish they'd just stay in their containment board.

when De Niro is on, he's better than Pacino. too bad those roles are like, three in a lifetime.
Pacino has many entertaining roles, but I don't enjoy him as much as taxi driver.

definitely deniro, for raging bull, taxi driver, the deer hunter, cape fear, once upon a time in america.

its really not even close unless you count his mafia movies AGAINST him

>raging bull, taxi driver, the deer hunter, cape fear, once upon a time in america

these are the only roles he's been exceptional in desu

Nah, if Brando is remembered as a cinematic icon, De Niro and Pacino will be too
>inb4 Brando was a much better actor than either of them
True, but his fall from grace was significantly more dramatic. He went from playing one of the most iconic characters in American cinema to playing a parody of it not 20 years later. Neither De Niro nor Pacino have stooped that low (yet).

really like De Niro in the Silver Lining Playbook, for just that one moment when he speaks of decisive moments in life.

It used to be a real question
Now they're nothing

Al Pacino has definitely stooped that low

Where is the cutoff? 2007?

deniro

both of them haven't had a good role since heat though

Delete this

not mentioning scarface lmao

is James Gandolfini a better gangster actor than Al and Robert?

When was the last time either of them was in a good movie?

Casino and Glen Garry

So just ignore him and quit being a whiney faggot

ill give you that , he did play an actual character in that movie, his first and only oscar bait movie

Pacino's HBO performances are good (phil spector and especially you don't know jack)

>dirty grandpa
Actually he wasn't that bad in that movie

Probably because of his size alone, yes

Although Michael and his father had that old school finesse, I would be much more afraid of T

Tony is a henchman who managed to get on top by sheer luck. He is the muscle of the mafia. Michael and his father are the brains of the mafia.

Why are you this stupid? He fucking plays young vito corleone in like half the movie, you dumbass.

Not him but the problem is that it's almost every thread these days devolves into /lol/ bullshit. It's literally impossible to ignore at this point because every good thread ends up derailed by those insecure faggots. I understand this place has always been edgy, but fuck Sup Forumstards have just about ruined it completely by now

>Italians
>white

It was a joke, because they are indistinguishable.

I think it would be better to judge them by their lowest points, since their heights are so enormous.

Gigli vs Rocky and Bullwinkle for example, which one is more unbearable?
