Robert DeNiro

Thank you.

you are welcome.

The only good comedy that De Niro ever did was Midnight Run, Heat was a huge disappointment and Casino was only a pale shadow of Goodfellas. Considering Once Upon A Time In America, Raging Bull, Taxi Driver, Godfather 2 and all of the other truly great movies that he has done, how can anybody say that De Niro hasn't lost his edge in the last few years. I believe he turned down the Bill The Butcher role in The Gangs Of New York because he couldn't commit himself to the role, now, is that the same guy who put on 60 pounds to play Jake La Motta?

Heat!!!That movie was awesome.

De Niro is great!

Well said Thomash, huh huh that sounds like a drunk trying to say Thomash, sorry I mean Thomash, D'oh.

Heat (designer suits and stubble) was directed by Michael Mann, who also directed Miami Vice (designer suits and stubble) and Manhunter (designer suits and stubble). It must have come as some disappointment to De Niro and Pacino fans who have waited since Godfather 2, to see the two finest actors of their generation star in a movie with dialogue like "i have to sleep with frank to get closure with you". Are there any genuine fans out there old enough to remember when a new De Niro movie was an event worth waiting for?

Just saw great expectations he was really good even though he wasn't a main character he played very good in it.

De Nire is great beacuse the way he prepares for acting in a movie...for example the mission, he trained so hard with the sword, that he was good enough to join the world championship...and midnight run..he was with bounty hunters for over a week to learn how they do their job...

Correct. I agree with you, but you are referring to movies that De Niro made some time ago. Since then he has been too busy with Tribecca (his production company) to concentrate on roles in the way that you outlined with the mission, which goes back to my original question - has de niro lost his edge? With regards to Great Expectations, great performance-poor movie.

Robert De Niro is at the top of his game.

Tell me of one movie that he has done in the last 5 years that compares with the raging bull, goodfellas, once upon a time in america, taxi driver, cape fear or midnight run.... just one!!

Don't have to my friend. I am simply disagreeing with you and am not trying to debate the issue.

Accepted. Enjoyed disagreeing with you.

He's probably the best in The Godfather Part II. One of the best movies of all time.

Academy Award winner Robert De Niro, 60, has been diagnosed with prostate cancer, but his prospects for a full recovery are good.

"Doctors say the condition was detected at an early stage because of regular checkups," his publicist said. "Because of the early detection and his excellent physical condition, doctors project a full recovery."

De Niro won an Oscar as best actor in 1981 for Raging Bull, and was named best supporting actor in 1975 for his role in The Godfather: Part II.

It is uncertain how this news will affect the shooting of his latest film Hide and Seek, in which De Niro stars opposite Famke Janssen and Dakota Fanning. The thriller was filming in New York.

oh my god i hope he beats the cancer. thats so scarey. wow that is scarey. we love you robert! hang in there
