Yes,that pic is a collector's item. Sadly,the only other time we see them together is in "Heat"...2 scenes. There is nothing more I want than to see these 2 giants playing in the same movie again...this time with more scenes together,but I fear that will never happen

Aw I know it would be great for them to team up in a new movie. They are 2 of the greatest actors ever!

I know I'm probably taking my life in my hands by saying this, but if there were to be a movie made with Al Pacino and Robert DeNiro, DeNiro would blow Pacino away. Pacino has lost something over the years. I haven't seen him in anything decent since he did Scarface. Now honestly, I haven't seen Carlito's Way, Glengarry Glen Ross, Scent of a Woman, or Donny Brasco, but I doubt very much if he was any better in the rest of his movies than he was in Sea of Love, which I thought was a total bomb. I'll have to rent Donnie Brasco because he plays a guy with the last name of Ruggiero, and that was my grandfather's family name.
Also, given what they did to GFIII, I doubt if they did a movie with Pacino and DeNiro would be much better. They try too hard with their stories, and the stories wind up bombing like a super hydrogen bomb going off! I don't know what's happened to Pacino, but instead of getting better with age, he's gotten worse---that's again just my opinion. Maybe I just haven't seen any of his work except for just the few. Was he good in Any Given Sunday? What about Heat, Devil's Advocate, and the Insider? Those would have interested me. I thought Sea of Love was horrible. Pacino was a mess, first of all--he looked like he'd just gotten off a major bender and hadn't even washed his face yet. Secondly, the storyline was so contrived, I could have easily slept through it. (I couldn't be that rude to my date after he paid for it!) Did you ever see the episode of Seinfeld where Elaine had to go with her boss (the catalog guy) to see "The English Patient" and how she was acting like a bored kid through it? Well, that's exactly how I felt watching Sea of Love. Quite honestly, Sea of Love was such a disappointment and such a bomb, that I decided not to go see Scent of a Woman, even though it was getting rave reviews. And, didn't it win an Oscar? See, that's how turned off I get when an actor or actress makes a complete ass of themself and thinks that their fans are going to love them no matter what kind of slop they try to feed them. Wasn't he in Gigli, too? Talk about reaching in desperation!
Well, anyway, that is my 2 cents worth!

I love DeNiro but I think that over the past couple of years he's become a very one dimensional actor. But before you claim that Pacino has not done anything worthwhile since Scarface, make sure you rent Scent Of A Woman and then come back and tell me what you think.

Yeah, I sort of figured I'd be "sleeping with the fishes" over this last post! LOL! Well, like I said, I really haven't seen anything recently to make a sweeping judgement like that. How was he in Donny Brasco? My sister told me years ago that she saw Pacino do a one-man sfage act that she thought was just phenominal, so I knew that I was going into this discussion a lettle less informed. Ok, so you think I should rent Scent of a Woman? First, let me say that I am not into sappy, tear-jerker movies like most women are. I prefer the type of movies that men like: action, horror, crime stuff, you know?
I'll let you know if I come up with anything!
Ciao, bamino

Ciao, bamino The genre is drama, not a tear-jerker though. If not for Pacino, you would not have heard of this movie at all. The story is pretty straight-forward and Pacino occupies a lot of the screen time.

So do I - does it make me a man? And who said "Women like this and that"? What, all of them the same? Maybe he was a man, who said it? Very likely, considering the perfection of logic. Joke, guys!

Although, I love both Pacino and DeNiro, Pacino is my definite favorite. However, I think both have gone downhill (for lack of a better term)in the movies they have made. DeNiro is making too many comedies and seems to be just taking any script, as does Pacino. I honestly prefer, with a couple exceptions, their earlier movies than the more recent ones. While I liked Scent of a Woman, I really prefer Sea of Love. I don't think it's that either have lost their talent, I think perhaps they are both comfortable in the careers and are trying "different" types of roles. Let's face it, they both "made it" to the top, so maybe now is the time to try something different. I would love to see another "top notch" drama from both of them. TIS

I've really just started to take an interest in Pacino and DeNiro's movies and I love them both and they are both brilliant actors. I like Pacino alot in scent of a woman and i think he plays the part very very well and I loved the movie its great definatly watch it!! He was also really good in Donnie Brasco and I really enjoyed watching his performance in it aswell Has anyone one seen Showtime btw?? I really liked that movie lol I though DeNiro and Eddie Murphy made a good team lol anyone else think so??

I really liked heat and I think Pacino was better in it than DeNiro, though he was also great. I think DeNiro has made too many bad movies, taking everything he's offered. Pacino has taken an increased number of roles but he's been great in them. The reason they havn't been great is because the recent ones werent made for him unlike Scarface,Carlitos way and Heat.

O yea I forgot about the plays he's done, well for that I'd say he's the better actor. De Niro is turning into a Jude Law, or is it Jude Law whos turning into a De Niro? lol Regarding the picture, did they even meet on the set? They seem like they wouldnt like eachother.

They were never even near each other during filming.

Lollie, lollie, how can you have such disrespect?
I just saw Pacino in Merchant of Venice, and he was brilliant. What does DeNiro have to show for himself? "Meet the Fockers," and "Analyze That." Thr truth is DeNiro has squandered his considerable talent on some pretty awful comedies lately, while Pacino continues to work in small off Broadway productions, and continues to work and teach at the Actors Studio. Presently he is trying to put together a performance of Oedipus Rex. Yes, Pacino, like DeNiro is entitled to use his celebrity to get a bog paycheck like he did in Devil's Advocate. But there is no way Ne Niro would blow Pacino away in anything in which both of them were taking their roles seriously.
