Topic: De Niro vs Pacino

Sorry for the lack of a midweek poll - bad week.

But I thought we were due for a vs poll, and with the new De Niro/Pacino movie, Righteous Kill due for release in the UK on Friday I figured we'd have a showdown between the two.

So who is your pick between these two acting heavyweights?

Pacino wins every way possible... My favourite role for him is in The Devils Advocate, it's...wait for it...legendary!

...where did I put that rat's ass I could give?

Re: De Niro vs Pacino

For me it's De Niro all the way.  Not so much because I love him, but more because I loathe Pacino.  I just don't think he has any range.  All the characters he plays may have different names, but he plays them all exactly the fucking same!!  Loudmouthed and annoying.  wink

I'm with KB, it goes to De Niro for versatility and the uglier face big_smile

Re: De Niro vs Pacino

They're both brilliant. Don't really know if I can rate one over the other - so I just picked one at random... Went with De Niro...

Re: De Niro vs Pacino

Seriously? This is a poll?

Re: De Niro vs Pacino

I don't really get peoples obsession with either of them, maybe I have just missed all their defining movies somehow, and yes.... I get them mixed up as well.

Damn that's a hard one.!  Both are very good.

Re: De Niro vs Pacino

De Niro... great actor but I just don't like him so it has to be Pacino.

if anything i caught Robcore's comment as a point for DeNiro, as Pacino would never have the nerve, or the acting range to pull off such a role...
