Robert De Niro's Most Impressive Performances In Recent Memory

By Brian Andrews


Any time you are talking about the greatest actors working today, one actor that is always in the discussion is Robert De Niro. It does not matter if he is starring in a drama, comedy or even animated film, Robert De Niro's enthusiasm and love for acting always seems to shine through. He has done it all, and deserves to be as successful as he is.

Here are my top 5 favorite Robert De Niro movies 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.

If you have never seen Raging Bull, you are missing out big time. This film is simply put, an American classic and may be the role that catapulted Robert De Niro to his current level of stardom. And that was in 1980!

It would pain me to make a list of Robert De Niro films without mentioning The Godfather Part II. It is hard to imagine anyone else bringing the brilliance to Mario Puzo's Vito Corleone the way that De Niro did it. This is arguably one of the greatest films ever made.

One other film that I feel the need to mention is of course, The Godfather Part 2. Based on the books by the great Mario Puzo, in part two of this mob saga, Mr. De Niro plays a young Vito Corleone, the heir to the Corleone mafia empire.

These are just some of the notable films that this incredible actor has starred in, but there are certainly many more which are worth mentioning in subsequent articles.
