Taxi Driver
Taxi Driver is a powerful and unique film that has helped to define the career of actor Al Pacino. A war veteran who works as a night-time taxi driver in New York City, Pacino must make an intelligent attempt to set things right in order to protect his loved ones. This film is full of violence and immorality, which makes it an important part of the history of the movie industry.
The film’s main focus is on De Niro’s performance as the aging New York City detective, Frank Semyon. However, the film also features a number of other interesting characters, including De Niro’s young protege, New York City public defender Johnnie Cochran.
The Deer Hunter
The Deer Hunter is a powerful and unique war drama that tells the story of three military servicemen in Vietnam who find themselves in life-threatening situations as the result of the war. The plot is detailed and provides a detailed summary of how wars can cause disarray.
De Niro delivers an intense performance that allows viewers to feel the intense emotions of his character. Just in case you were wondering, the three friends are fond of deer hunting, hence the title. ..
The King of Comedy
In this hilarious and heartwarming story, De Niro stars as a struggling stand-up comedian who takes on the challenge of kidnapping his comedy idol in order to achieve his dream. With humor and heart, The King of Comedy tells the story of a man determined to be the best he can be – even if that means kidnapping his own comedy icon.
Though a huge box office bomb, The King of Comedy remains one of De Niro’s top comedy works. It is a hilarious and insightful look at the comedian’s life and career.
Raging Bull
Raging Bull is a great movie about how one’s demons can take over and ruin their career. Jake LaMotta is a skilled boxer who is on the brink of winning the championship, but his personal problems start to interfere with his career. ..
Robert De Niro had to do a bit of transformation to fit into the role. Well, once you finish the movie, you would know that his transformation wasn’t only physical. ..
The Godfather II
Some say that De Niro surpassed Marlon Brando’s bar for acting by playing the younger version of Vito Corleone in The Godfather II. The film follows Vito’s early days, struggles, and eventual rise to power as head of a crime empire. ..
The movie, in a way, reinvented the methods of making crime movies. What’s more, Godfather II can be attributed with upgrading De Niro from a star to a superstar. ..
Heat
Heat is a thriller drama that tells the story of a seasoned criminal who wishes to execute one last robbery before he can hang his crime-drenched boots. Though getting away for him isn’t going to be easy as the cops closely follow his trail. The film features Robert Di Niro and Al Pacino in the lead roles, and their chemistry is top-notch. Heat is a classic thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat, and I can’t wait to see what else this team comes up with next.
The film is well-scripted and acted, with excellent direction. There are no weak moments throughout the entire run. De Niro is a true treat to watch.
The Intern
The Intern is a great movie, given its unique approach to the role of an intern in a modern fashion company. De Niro pulls off the role perfectly, and the movie is a great success.
The protagonist, a young journalist, begins a meaningful friendship with his boss, who is experiencing personal and professional problems.
Goodfellas
In this crime drama, small-time criminal John has made it to the top as a powerful gangster. However, his criminal life and family life remain majorly at odds. He has to make a decision that changes the course of his life.
In “The Godfather”, De Niro plays the role of Michael Corleone, a crime boss who is inspired by real-life American gangster James Burke. The vet actor was offered the role of associate for a simple reason – the role turns more heads than any other character in the film.
Once Upon a Time In America
In his latest performance, A former gangster has to go through regretful memories of the past as he returns to the Lower East Side of Manhattan after 35 years. Once Upon a Time in America is arguably De Niro’s best performance to date. This amazing crime drama contains gravity, emotion, determination, and action – a recipe that has proved to be the sweet spot for De Niro.
Once Upon a Time in America is a must-watch that promises to keep you entertained until the last minute. Just make sure, you don’t miss out on the full version – which would leave you feeling unsatisfied. The original cut of the movie is 251 minutes long – and that’s what you should focus on.
Silver Linings Playbook

He is playing the father of a man who is returning from mental health hospital to fix his marriage and life. Simply put, the young man is tricky to father, but De Niro’s approach is even trickier. ..
The critically acclaimed Silver Linings Playbook was renewed by the Academy Awards for De Niro’s first nomination in over two decades. The film, which tells the story of a man who is struggling with mental illness, was praised for its humor and heart. ..
