Well guys I'm huge fan of Robert De Niro and yet I can't find a role of his which I consider the best. I would say his worst role would be in "A Bronx Tale" while his best role is a tie between, "Godfather 2" and "Casino". What do you think?

Actually worst De Niro movie is a tie between "a Bronx Tale" and "Showtime".

Best was "Raging Bull." Worst? I'm afraid to think of how many bad ones he's made.

Best- Either Raging Bull, GF 2, Taxi Driver, or yes, I know, might be a stretch, Meet the Parents

Worst- Umm, probably, Flawless?

How can you make this kind of a thread without having seen RAGING BULL? :p

Best: Taxi Driver, BY FAR, then comes Raging Bull...

Worst: The Fan...

My favourite Deniro performances are:

1) Taxi Driver
2) Raging Bull
3) Goodfellas
4) Deer Hunter
5) Godfather pt2
6) Cape Fear
7) Casino

It's a great movie not just for Deniro's performance, but Pesci is also superb.

This is one of Scorsese' greatest achievements IMHO.

Well, have you seen Taxi Driver? That's his best role; without a doubt. It's such a chilling performance, it sends chills up my spine every time I watch it. Be sure to see that one.

Also, as F5A said, look out for Pesci's role in Raging Bull, as it is astounding, as well!

Just watched "Raging Bull". De Niro was absolutely amazing, this was probably his best role. I change my Best to Raging bull from GF 2.

Without even having to see it I would consider Rocky and Bullwinkle his worst.

Just watched A Bronx Tale for the umpteenth time today and it's far from being DeNiro's worst. Its a fantastic film where he puts on a great performance. Not the best of all time, but noteworthy to say the least.

By worst and best roles do you mean the actual film or his role in the film to be either good or bad?


So die all who betray Giuliano

I really didn't like A Bronx Tale. It wasn't that DeNiro's acing was bad but his part was so limited that he couldn't do much with it. The movie itself was awful but on top of that it dragged DeNiro down with it.

A Bronx Tale is a terrible movie. It's very predictable and boring. The ideas was terrible and predictable, the acting was awful with the exception of one or two people. Back to the DeNiro subject, an actor should know what roles to take and what roles not to accept and in my opinion a Bronx Tale was one acting job he shouldn't have taken.

Best: Without a doubt "Raging Bull". He can never top that performance.

Worst: How about when he played the fearless leader in "The Adventures of Rocky & Bullwinkle"?

Seems like wether Raging Bull or Taxi driver is his best performance is a very controversial subject... I'd go for Taxi Driver. Worst would be Analyse That (the second one)

Best roles: Young Vito Corleone in Godfathe 2. Others would be Noodles from Once Upon a Time in America and Jimmy the Gent Conway in Goodfellas.

Worst role: Al Capone in The Untouchables.

I'm astounding that very few to none mentioned Mean Streets.

Raging Bull would probably edge out for me, but I adore him in TGF Part II, The Deer Hunter, Goodfellas, Taxi Driver and of course, Mean Streets. His performance in A Bronx Tale certainly isn't bad. I liked it, as it was a different perspective to what we're normally seeing him in.
