All of this has happened before. All of it will happen again.
until a couple of years ago I'd have said DeNiro but cand stand the Comedy roles that he seems to go in for now
Pacino.
I think the characters he portrays are more iconic then De Niro's.
Tony Montana, Michael Corleone and Frank Slade stand up better than Travis Bickle, a younger Vito Corleone and Michael Vronsky.
Only going on films I've seen with the two in them.

Thought i would separate with their top 5 movies & must admit was stretching with Pacino. The problem with De Niro is he hasn't done anything dramatic in last 10 years.
Pacino:
- The Godfather
- Scarface
- Donie Brasco
- Scent of a Woman
- Carlitos Way
De Niro:
- Taxi Driver
- Deer Hunter
- Raging Bull
- Once Upon a Time in America
- Goodfellas
Pete - you left out Serpico, Dog Day Afternoon, Glengarry Glenross, Looking for Richard and Frankie and Johnnie; what's worse, you included a film that had Chris O'Donnell in it!Originally Posted by pete
Shame! Pacino gets my vote now in a reverse protest!
That question was less stupid, though you asked it in a profoundly stupid way.
Help me, Arthur Murphy, you're my only hope!
I apologise for that. No defence. Sorry.
Listen, as long as you realise the error of your ways, there is hopeI apologise for that. No defence. Sorry.

I'm going with De Niro, although with reservations. Whilst I think De Niro's best performances (Taxi Driver, Goodfellas, King of Comedy, Raging Bull, Deer Hunter) are better than Pacinos (Heat, Scarface, Donnie Brasco, Serpico, Dog Day Afternoon, Godfather) I have to say that these days I have more respect for Pacino, simply because De Niro has made something of a mockery of his legacy (the worst/best example being his self parody in the Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkel) and, wsell Pacino hasn't!
