So, right now I'm watching Midnight Run and I realize that although Bobby has delivered awesome performances in iconic movies, it dawns on me that this is my favorite De Niro movie because he's funny as hell even though he's still a total badass. Plus he looked hot in this movie, I think it's the best he's ever looked. The cast of Charles Grodin, Yaphet Kotto, Joey Pants, and Dennis Farina is equally hilarious.



I can't wait to see him and Al Pacino FINALLY doing a whole movie together. Bobby knows how to get in shape for a movie cuz I saw him awhile back and he was a lil' porky (he coulda still got it tho ) I didn't know ol' Fiddy was in the movie too, as well as, John Leguizamo and Donny Wahlberg. It looks good.

Here's the trailer:

probably 'king of comedy'. the kind of movies de niro is usually in are usually not the kind of movies i enjoy - the whole gritty crime drama thing usually bores me to tears - but i could get into him as rupert pupkin, comedic loser extraordinaire.

Taxi Driver!

Anxiety said:

Yeah, that's another good one.

I *LOVE* this movie!

I'm watching the part where they do the "litmus configuration" on the $20 bills. And why hasn't Charles Grodin made more movies??? I loved him in Seems Like Old Times with Goldie Hawn and Chevy Chase. Funny ass movie.

I bought "Taxi Driver", and am still blown away at De Niro's acting in it.

"Are you the owner?" "Yes sir." "Do you dye your hair?" "No sir."



The only other thing I know Grodin in is those Beethoven movies. Or his appearances on Letterman, which are classic.

hmm...I have a couple off the beaten path.
one of my all time fav movies. Cape Fear
and another fave A bronx tale

Raging Bull.

He was soooo fuckin' scary in Cape Fear, it's still hard for me to watch it, but his body was Love Bronx Tale too, I meant to catch it on Broadway as Chazz's one man show, but missed it by a few weeks. It's so sad how the kid that played his son turned out. I thought he showed a lot of promise.

Why do they call you Red? Cuz of redwood, my last name's Wood.

Midnight Run is really underrated. That's a fantastic movie when DeNiro was still working hard at his craft but taking on a fun role for maybe the first time.

It's one of those movies that doesn't amount to much but I could watch it over & over.

I also love the obvious ones--Raging Bull, Goodfellas, Taxi Driver.

Godfather 2 isn't my favorite movie, but his performance is almost not even acting. I feel like I'm watching a real person.

Anxiety said:

That's probably the only thing I've liked Jerry Lewis in, too.

SCNDLS said:

I know huh...he played a really creepy creep! I haven't seen it since it came out...I'll have to rent it this winter. I haven't heard about how the kid who played his son turned out? what happened?

I don't know.....but I have naked pix of him in one movie.

Taxi Driver.

The Adventures of Rocky & Bullwinkle?

Shorty said:

The kid, Lillo Brancato Jr, became a serious heroin addict and started doing burglaries to support his habit. One night a couple years ago, he was doing a burglary and a neighbor came out to see what was going on. He and his accomplice shot and killed the dude who turned out to be an off duty police officer. Needless to say he'll be in for life.

Ronin and Casino are also in my top 5.

One of the best car chases EVER.

No, it's some old movie, I can't think of the name of it. It might have been French.

Taxi Driver
Godfather II
Angel Heart (He looks cool)
Meet the Parents.

Lammastide said:

Yeah, he rocked that long hair and nails look in Angel Heart.

SCNDLS said:

ohhh! I didn't know that. Thanx for filling me in...what a tragedy

Lammastide said:

i forgot about this one.. he has so many... and i was laughing hard in the 1st Meet the Parents..

The Godfather, Part II, by far, is his best movie, not only because he was stellar in it, but because it is one of the greatest movies of all time.
