Al Pacino quite easily....Scarface transcends a movie and they talk about the character like he's a real person....Deniro don't have no gangsta character like that....only nikka id say came close was Wesley with his portrayl of Nino Brown:ohlawd:.....if only he hadn't gon out like such a sucka,how u let some old man shoot Nino Brown after he snitches:childplease:...matter of fact the whole ending is dumb,movie ain't do wesley justice towards the end....id rather Ice T beat his azz and it end like that,at least that's Ice T...lemme chill forgot what this thread was about.


Al Pacino,and yes Pesci does have a place in this thread.

al pacino easily. he played michael fukking corleone
robert de niro just has more versatility

DeNiro played Vito fukking Corleone.

Jimmy Conway isnt on the same tier as Michael Corleone nice try

But Vito Corleone is. Quite literally fathered his style.


just because something has a place in pop culture doesnt mean its iconic. it wasnt even a lead role, that movie centered on the police squad Im pretty sure

Anyways, Im not here to hate on Robert De Niro. I just think hes more of a thespian then a gangsta.

you dont see rappers shouting out Jimmy Conway or Max Cady...

You contradicting yourself here. On the one hand you say place in pop culture doesn't really matter and on the other you wanna point out how popular Scarface is in hip hop culture.

DeNiro gets plenty of love from rappers too anyway. :ufdup:



Pesci deffo deserves a nod too. Even in JFK he was compelling. He always had real menacing characters. :deadhorse:(double entendre in a smilie don't ask me how)

Ya man, but De Niro doesnt really own his character like Al Pacino does.

Think about it like this.. whos making more money off of merchandising - Marlon Brando or Robert De Niro???

The Godfather is not only one of the 3 greatest movies of all-time, it's the quintessential mafia movie of all-time. And so many movies and tv shows involving family drama can virtually be considered "offspring" of the Godfather saga.

Al Pacino.

LOL @ Carlito's Way. That's not even in the Top 30 of Pacino's movies.

:rudy: at anyone using Scarface as an example. Past the cultural impact, shyt is one of the worst examples of a gangsta in film history.

WTF

My fav Pacino film and top 3 (one of the other being Goodfellas)

Carlito's Way > Scarface
That's cool that it's one of your favorite movies, but there's a difference between someone's favorite movie and what typically qualifies as a great movie or great acting.
