Taxi Driver: Special Edition (DVD)
Taxi Driver: Special Edition (VHS)
(1976) Jodie Foster plays the young prostitute; DeNiro attempts to be her guardian angel. Features a great performance by DeNiro directed by Scorsese.
Raging Bull (DVD)
Raging Bull (VHS)
(1980) Scorsese again directs DeNiro, who plays a boxer struggling against his inner demons. Another dark, unforgetable film from this team. By the way, ever notice how many great films are about someone trying to overcome their inner demons rather than an external foe?
Heat(VHS)
(1995) Pacino and Deniro in their only appearance together. Pacino is a detective in the trail of DeNiro. Final scene is worth the price of admission. Character study and action in one outstanding film. I hope these two are reunited soon.
Angel Heart (DVD)
Angel Heart(VHS)
(1987) The outclassed Mickey Rourke stars in this mildly entertaining vehicle that has some interesting moments. DeNiro plays a cat named Louis Cypher out to collect an old debt.
Awakenings (DVD)
(1990) Robin Williams co-stars (was this his first dramatic role?) as the real-life Doctor who discovers that L-Dopa will revive some comatose mental patients. DeNiro plays one of the patients who awakens after 30 years in a coma. Highly recommended, even for non-psych majors.
Bang the Drum Slowly (VHS)
(1974) My favorite baseball movie, a young DeNiro plays a terminally-ill catcher trying to get through the season.
The Godfather II (VHS)
DeNiro portrays the young godfather-to-be. Pacino also appears separately in the film; they do not appear together until Heat.
Casino (DVD)
Casino(VHS)
(1995) Guess who? directs again in the story of the mob's involvement in Vegas. Sharon Stone shows she can act.
Cape Fear(VHS)
(1991) Yet another dark Scorsese film that many critics think is overblown. DeNiro stars in this remake as a serial rapist out to get revenge on his attorney.
The Deer Hunter (DVD)
The Deer Hunter(VHS)
(1978) A five-Oscar winner, DeNiro and Walken give great performances in this film that uses the Vietnam war debacle to explore the depth of friendship between two men.
The Fan (DVD)
The Fan (VHS)
(1996) Wesley Snipes stars as a Barry Bonds-type megastar who is stalked by a demented knife salesman.
Good Fellas (DVD)
Good Fellas (VHS)
(1991) Scorsese directs this masterpiece, based on the true story of a real-life mobster. Joe Pesci became a star because of this film. A little trunk music, anyone?
Mean Streets (DVD)
Mean Streets (VHS)
(1973) This was Scorsese's first film as a director where he could make the kind of movie he wanted and it marked him as a talent. Began his productive partnership with DeNiro. Many consider this to be the first of a gangster trilogy, with Good Fellas and Casino following.
Wag the Dog (DVD)
Wag the Dog(VHS)
(1997) DeNiro is again the master, this time as a political consultant who masterminds the faking of a war to distract attention from Presidential scandal.
