Who's a better actor- Robert DeNiro or Al Pacino?

Al Pacino

Robert DeNiro

[NYCQuestions1976]

To me, it's a tie. If I have to come up with a tiebreaker, DeNiro has better comedy talents ("Analyze This", "Analyze That", "Meet The Parents", "Meet The Fockers").

I also want to mention that one of my all-time favorite movie scenes was at the end of "Devil's Advocate". Al Pacino was underrated in that movie, with his spectacular railing on and revealing himself as Satan to Keanu Reeves. To me, it was better than "Scarface".

[RolandCuthbert]

hmmm. . . similar career arcs. . . but I give a slight edge to Pacino. I just think he played a greater variety of characters and brought a bit more. I am still tripping over his role playing Paterno.

[PrincessPie]

Al Pacino, even though i do like Robert DeNiro, he's the same guy in every movie lol.

[your_ego]

Truer words have never been spoken

[PinkChampagne]

Robert DeNiro... I haven't watched many movies with Al Pacino

[characterJoe]

The Deer Hunter, Casino, Meet the Parents, Meet the Fockers, and Good Fellas! Robert DeNiro had his nose broken on accident in a movie once, it made his nose better! Nobody plays a better supporting actor to Joe Pesci and Christopher Walken.

[Lieseeker]

Because i never saw a greater scene of a person standing up for another. No one ever stands with me in righteous, yet I know God is using me to call them out and notes are taken. I find it sad. DeNiro is another sexual dog and I lose all respect for any of the sex pigs... o'reilly who should have read his own book about jeeeeeezzzzus!

[Zefram]

De Niro's a fucking legend.
Also De Niro didn't lower himself like Pacino did by working with Adam Sandler.
The Heat all the fucking way bro.

[Newbeginnings]

I think you have the actors the wrong way round. Wasn’t it de Niro working with Adam Sandler? But I agree

[Bananaman177]

No no, De Niro only lowered himself to working with Ben Stiller three fucking times, lolololol!!!

[Newbeginnings]

Haha oh yeah, was thinking of Ben stiller not Adam sandler. They’re interchangeable 😂

[Bananaman177]

@Newbeginnings And don't forget Billy Crystal, while we're on the subject of how fallen and degenerate De Niro has truly become.

[Zefram]

@Bananaman177 Alright I'm getting sick of people on here trashing De Niro god damnit he's not the one who worked with Sandler I'll even Google it...
... oh fuck they both did.
You know what, I'm sticking by my statement De Niro's fucking awesome, go watch Heat again, what a masterpiece (RIP Michael Mann's career).

[Zefram]

@Newbeginnings I also don't think Ben Stiller's that bad. His movies have been worse lately (The Secret Life Of Walter Mitty, Zoolander 2) just to name some, but his early stuff was good, barring that one with Cameron Diaz, that was pretty bad. But the first Zoolander, Madagascar, Meet The Fockers (the first one) all good and pretty funny.

Watch the movie "Righteous Kill" from 2018. Picking the better actor is not possible here because they are both great in their own way.

Of course, I didn't vote!

[Uziel_007]

2008*-2018

[ak667]

Prefer Al Pacino and think he has more of an acting range, even though both seem rather narrow in their range.

[Finchie40]

This is a tough question considering both actors played in awesome movies , im. sorry I can't pick , equal

[DeeDeeDeVour]

I love 'em both but I'm giving Pacino a slight edge.

[availableuponrequest]

Al was the better actor in my opinion but de niro aged better

[availableuponrequest]

DeNiro*

[Jjpayne]

Wow! 50/50! I like deniro because he has more wit and has been in more comedies

[ENTP_EMO]

money > power > vag

Works 100% of the time.
Thank you A. P

[Mexicoman101]

Pacino in a heartbeat. Robert Deniro has been phoning it in for a long time.

[TinaSP]

Al Pacino won the race but it was close. The prize he got for the forever epic The Godfather

[monkeynutts]

I picked AL, he was great as Satan, he rocks in heat to. Then who would pass him up for Scarface, I'de like you to say hello to my little friend!

[dolemite68]

Al Pacino is the man but he got a bit weird as he got older, De Niro is on point in everything so I’d say him. That’s a tough one

[pizzalovershouse]

both are great 1s thats like saying.
would you like 2o

[LegateLanius]

They are both awesome. I loved Raging Bull and Scarface.

[MaximisPryme]

They are both EXTREMELY talented actors, but I like the films that De Niro starred in more. :)

[rapfan107]

DeNiro in my opinion. He's given amazing performances through all his career and still going at it

[thenewgirlll]

Is it bad that I have never heard of them?

[availableuponrequest]

Yeah. Watch the godfather movies whenever you get the chance. They're all on Netflix

[robroy76]

I say watch Heat first.
