Have Al Pacino and De Niro ever made a bad film together? I can't recall one.
That's cos they haven't been in many together. I thought Heat was crap tbh.
They've been in three, Godfather II, Heat and Rightous Kill. Even though I thought there was more, I still stand by my statement.
Well the's 1 good, 1 bad and 1 I haven't a fooking clue as I've never heard of it. So your statement's a load o' bollox.
How can you say it's a load of bollocks when you haven't even seen one of the films?

I said they haven't made a bad film together. Not every film they've made is amazing. Granted I've only seen half of Heat but I can't see it being a bad film. Rightous Kill is also a good film.

Cos one of 'em is bad? IMHO of course.

Fair enough. I'd give RK a watch though, I enjoyed it.

The BBC pulls the last ep. of Good Cop due to a scene depicting a violent attack on a WPC. Aren't we adult enough to know this is fiction?

Righteous Kill is a terrible film. I'm a huge fan of De Niro and Pacino but I think they were cashing in with that one. No where near The Godfather Pt. II or Heat.

Individually, Scent of a Woman for Pacino and Ronin for De Niro were ace films.

I was writing what I thought about Scent of a Woman then half way through I realised I was thinking about Sea of Love. :lol:

I honestly don't think I could call a film with De Niro and Al Pacino terrible, but it may have clouded my judgement of the film, and looking on the net there seems to be quite a few poor reviews of it. I honestly enjoyed it and didn't think the twist was predictable or poor as some claim.

Yeah, they've both got a ton of great movies. The Godfather Trilogy, Deer Hunter, Taxi Driver, Goodfella's, Serpico, Dog Day Afternoon, And Justice for all, Scarface, Any Given Sunday, The King of Comedy, Carlito's Way, Heat, Raging Bull, Once Upon A Time in America and a whole load more

You missed out Meet The Parents! :wink:

I think Scarface is my favourite of the lot. I stayed in the hotel where the shower scene was filmed when I was in Miami. Taxi Driver a close second.

all the best have been mentioned, Casino should be in there too.

Raging Bull is far and away my De Niro favourite,

And Scent of a Woman for Pacino, who is a bit over-rated imo, but outstanding in that.

I've been watching The Wire for the first time.

Series 1 - excellent.
Series 2 - turd.
Series 3 - good with turdy parts

Series 4 starts tonight I think - hoping for a return to the earlier stuff.
