Another thing I love about this clip: De Niro's second, more laid-back, "you blew it", just to rub it in. Good stuff. If this doesn't get sifted I'm losing all faith in humanity and moving to a monastery in Nepal.

That cat does De Niro better than De Niro.

"... There's no such thing as a good gun. There's no such thing as a bad gun. A gun in the hands of a bad man is a very dangerous thing. A gun in the hands of a good person is no danger to anyone except the bad guys. ..."

He wrote and directed Antony and Cleopatra (1972).....if that had been Robert De Niro???.....He'd a cast a black woman in Cleo's roll.....When, oh when, are they going to make a Cleopatra film with a Nubian??? WHEN!!!!??? DAMN DIRTY HAIRLESS APES!!

The Last Man on Earth is Not Alone......

Ha! Robert De Niro endorsed Obama (for realio). So the real question is: In a fight, who would win? Bobby D or the Jackman?

This looks wicked. I could watch De Niro and Pacino all the live long day

his De Niro sounds more like John Goodman at the beginning, but then gets better.

^ what they said. it doesn't even look like de niro, suspiciously small image, although why anyone would fake this i dunno.
this is the kind of post that should have more links in the description.

Hoffman, is of the ilk of genuine acting talent-De Niro, D'onofrio, Nicholson, etc. He is one of the preservationists of Hollywood, or anywood....up-vote for anything he puts his juices on or into......

Rourke has transformed into a Michael Jacksonesque freak now. De Niro thankfully hasn't. DeNiro looks suprisingly old here for 1987.

This is the iconic scene from Elia Kazan's "On the Waterfront" in which Terry (Marlon Brando) delivers his brother Charlie a heartfelt scolding. "I coulda had class... I coulda been a contender, instead of a bum, which is what I am - let's face it."

This is often listed as perhaps the greatest scene of acting in a motion picture, and gained more popularity after Martin Scorsese's "Raging Bull," which featured Jake LaMotta (Robert De Niro) reciting the scene word-for-word in his dressing room.

This is from Wikipedia:


"Time of the Season" is a song by The Zombies, featured on the 1968 album Odessey and Oracle. The song was written by keyboard player Rod Argent and recorded at Abbey Road Studios in August 1967. Its breakthrough, however, did not occur before 1969, after the band had split up.

The song's characteristics include the unique voice of lead singer Colin Blunstone, the memorable bass riff, and Rod Argent's fast-paced psychedelic improvisation. The lyrics are an archetypical depiction of the emotions surrounding the Summer of Love. It is famous for its call-and-response verses "What's your name? (What's your name?)/Who's your daddy? (Who's your daddy?)/(Is he rich?) Is he rich like me?".

"I think firefly is taking "mafia week" just a wee bit too seriously.

Could you be there?....Come out, Come out, wherever you are!!

OK, so it's not mafia, but it's De Niro dammit!

Travis Bickle (De Niro) is an alienated, isolated, depressed and sexually frustrated young man of 26 from the Midwest, who says he was a Marine. He suffers from chronic insomnia and consequently takes a job as a nighttime taxi driver in New York City. Travis spends his spare time watching pornography in seedy porn theaters and driving around aimlessly through the shadiest neighborhoods of Manhattan.

In this scene we clearly see how his isolation has reached levels where his only communication is with himself in the mirror.

Taxi Driver is a 1976 American film drama directed by Martin Scorsese and written by Paul Schrader. It is widely considered one of the greatest, but also one of the most controversial films in the history of American cinema and is frequently praised for its strong performances and gritty realism. The film is also notable for making stars out of both its leading actors, Robert De Niro and Jodie Foster; the latter was only thirteen years old when the movie was released. It was also the last film on which the legendary composer Bernard Herrmann (famed for his work with Alfred Hitchcock, especially Psycho) completed work on, and Taxi Driver is dedicated to his memory.
