Al Pacino vs Robert De niro
DeNiro, no contest. His eight flicks with Scorsese alone put him way in the lead of just about anybody, including Pacino.

Sorry, already got a thread on the subject:
Anyway, my vote goes for De Niro...though Pacino is definitely the king of rage, IMO.

De Niro is great, but HE CAN'T CRY! Learn how to to cry, you macho man, you!

Pacino's best was Dog Day Afternoon.
De Niro's best was Raging Bull.
Pacino's performance is better.
But for longevity, Pacino hasn't had a great performance since the 70s. De Niro has been great in The King of Comedy, Godfather Part II, Heat - that's at least one a decade.
But I'll go for Pacino. He seems like a nicer guy.

No, I didn't. I thought Any Given Sunday was a mess. It was Oliver Stone out of control and that's never good. His hyperactive editing worked well on JFK and Natural Born Killers but it was unnecessary for a football movie. And Pacino just shouted a lot like he's done in every movie for the last 10 years.
His best performance in the 90s was in Dick Tracy and that's not a compliment.

I think Al Pacino is the better actor but I like De Niro better. Both are extrodianry though.

PACINO, AL. I think he is great. De niro is one of the funniest actors for me. Have you seen 15 minutes ? Craked me up when he was talking to the mirror, practising his proposal.
Ha Ha Ha HA ..... PIZZA'S HERE!
