I love him in "The Deer Hunter" and "Once Upon A Time In America", and of course "Taxi Driver" and "Raging Bull"...
But tonight, I just saw "This Boy's Life" for the first time in years, and I forgot how stunning he is in it. He's a tough guy, but the performace is so nuanced and layered it's a thing of beauty to watch. Trying so desperately to be the father of a boy that isn't is, that he overall detests and wishes didn't exist, yet still wants to mold into his warped version of "manhood"...great, great little film.

That thread is totaly different.
This is about DeNiro performances, not roles.
Big difference. Quit changing the subject in the best thread ever to grace the ronfez.net board.
Now please state your favorite Deniro performance, and move along.

No his best acting in a role and his best performance is not different at all.

Who cares? Mine is new, yours is dead. A thread is a thread is a thread...do we need to plow through the archives EVERY time we want to start something "new"?

Your thead isnt about is best "acting in a role".
It's just about his "best role"
That means the best character he played, not how well he played the character.
The responces in that thread should have been something like "Al Capone".
This thread is about our personal "favorite" Deniro "performace".
This thead opens up our minds as DeNiro fans to try to sift through the dozens of classic Deniro performances, and to put our "favorites" down in response.
Now leave us alone to honor the great Robert DeNiro and our"favorite performances".
Move out and draw fire.

Shut your damn pie hole about "This Boy's Life" before I tell you a thing or two about a thing or two!
DeNiro was great in that movie.
Besides the ones already mentioned, liked him in:
The King of Comedy
Bang the Drum Slowly
Midnight Run

Mojo- Why do you one of the reasons Mods lock posts? Because something is already like it. Look at the about page 3 of general discussion and about 40 threads are locked for being the same thing. But while Im here I think Robert DeNiro had an excellent Role in- OH IM SORRY ROLE IS COMPLETLY DIFFERNT THAT PERFORMANCE! SO I have to say for performance: The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle.

You could possibly be asking one of three different things here, so here goes...no, no, and I'm not going to wade through months and months of old posts for every topic I want to post. If it's been gone for over a month, it's dead to me.
