If there were a hall of fame for Hollywood actors and actresses, there is no doubt that Robert De Niro would be a unanimous first ballot choice. He is quite possibly the greatest living actor and has been consistently churning out classic films for well over three decades.
The following are some of the best movies starring Robert De Niro of all time.
Probably my favorite Robert De Niro film of all time is the Martin Scorsese directed mafia film Goodfellas. This movie won the Academy Award for best picture in 1991, and with good reason. This is a true rags to riches story, and just so happens to be based on the true story of Henry Hill.
Another great movie from this incredibly talented actor is The Score. Also starring Edward Norton, in this film Robert De Niro plays a talented jewelry thief nearing the end of his career, but has one more heist he wants to pull off.
Another film that must be mentioned any time you talk about the best of the best Robert De Niro movies is without a shadow of a doubt, Casino. This movie is directed by the great Martin Scorcese and also stars Joe Pesci. Robert plays Sam Rothstein, a very powerful casino owner who plays by his own rules out in Las Vegas.
Sleepers is another Robert De Niro film that makes the cut for me. Make no mistake, this movie is not easy to watch. While De Niro may not be the forefront of the film, he certainly adds to this film's brilliance. This movie also stars Brad Pitt, Billy Crudup, Dustin Hoffman and Kevin Bacon.
One other film that I will mention, which I found incredibly entertaining was Analyze This. Also starring the hilarious Billy Crystal, Robert De Niro plays Paul Viti, an emotional mobster who finds solace in his psychiatrist (played by Crystal), and hilarity ensures.
Hopefully there is one or more films from the great Robert De Niro that you have yet to see on this list.
