POLL: Al Pacino vs Robert Deniro - Which is the better actor in your opinion?

[welst10]

Good topic. I like them both. De Niro 10, Pacino 9.5.

Scarface is not his best work...

Serpico
Glengarry Glen Ross
The Insider

Deniro is great but he doesn't show his range much. Cape Fear he's great in.

 

[Miramonti]

Both of them have a fairly limited range but are usually great at their mainstay roles.

Given the span of their careers and characters they've played, DeNiro is easily the better actor.

Have you ever seen "Awakenings" with De Niro? I was just looking through all of his movies and I remembered seeing that. It was a great movie, and De Niro certainly didn't play a mobster (far from it).

Both of them take the #1 spot in my all time favorites.

Jack Black clearly beats both.

De'Niro has more versatility

Draw!

BTW, this is a repost.

 

[IGBT]

....both of them achieve "suspension of disbelief" in nearly every movie they do...

 

[thomsbrain]

deniro has some serious chops and he's also badass, but i just love that slightly over the edge style of pacino.

 

[ThePresence]

All I have to say is "Scent of a Woman".

 

[BW86]
