Al Pacino vs De Niro

[nycgirl]

where does your bias come from nyc??

He's a good actor and better than Pacino, don't get me wrong.

My biases come from the following:

His love for New York. He started the Tribeca Film Festival to bring business to the downtown area when some businesses were considering leaving the area after 9/11. Oh, yeah, and his taste in women.

Pacino. Hands down. No comparison.

De Niro has played the same character for the past 20 years.

They've both sucked the past 10 years.

Yeah but Pacinos high point was Scarface and nothing overly impressive since then.

De Niro was great in the Focker movies, what are you talking about??

I second that. After Heat they have both gone downhill.

DeNiro is by far better. Taxi Driver, Godfather Part II, The Deer Hunter, Raging Bull, Casino, Goodfellas etc.

Nothing special, and Dustin sucked in the part 2.

wtf, obviously you have never seen the Godfather movies

Although I do love Deniro and Pesci as well.

OK. I'll give you the Godfather movies as well but when did you ever see Pacino do a comedy? De Niro has alot more versatility IMO.
