Robert De Niro

Robert De Niro, James Woods

Warner Home Video, 1992

Finest Film of the Past 25 Years
This is a great film -- in my view it is clearly the best film of the past 25 years. Leone's final cut, the one that played to international audiences, not the butchered format foisted on Americans, has been restored. Incidentally, I do recall going to an artsy ...

Midnight Run

John Ashton, Robert De Niro

Universal Studios, 1992

"We got him, We got the Duke!!!"
Wow! How we LOVE this film to pieces, and I scratch my head at those who don't get it. I never saw this lovely gem back in the `80s, "But I was just a kid..." My dad took me to see "Roger Rabbit," and that was my main interest. I actually do remember seeing a ...

Goodfellas

Robert De Niro, Ray Liotta

Warner Home Video, 1992

The Best Mob Movie Made - Ever!
The quintessential New York City mob film, in a class by itself, my only five-star review to date (and I'd give it more if I could). Based on the book "Wiseguy" by Nicholas Pileggi, Martin Scorsese's brilliant masterpiece introduces us to Henry Hill, as enacted by Ray ...

Taxi Driver

Diahnne Abbott, Frank Adu

Sony Pictures, 1996

The original American Psycho
Being a cab driver for almost 18 years, Taxi Driver is a personal favorite of mine. Driving a cab is like a drug: you get to meet new people everyday; you don't have to wait a week or two to get paid---everything's cash money; you get to know the whole city; you learn ...

The Mission

Robert De Niro, Jeremy Irons

Warner Home Video, 1992

The reviewer's got it wrong!
Tom Keogh's editorial review got it wrong. This is a magnificent movie. The background is historically accurate. The music, much of which was written by South American composers during the 17th century, is flawlessly performed. The story is gripping, and one comes ...

Heat : A Los Angeles Crime Saga

Al Pacino, Robert De Niro

Warner Home Video, 1996

Heat is truly epic
The coffee shop scene tells everything about this film. The human side of the characters is perfectly explored, especially concerning De Niro's character (Neil). His personal conflicts are as strong as his determination and skills as a gangster. This is the magic of ...

Backdraft

Kurt Russell, William Baldwin

Universal Studios, 1992

"...Some guys on this job, the fire owns them...the only way to truly kill it is to love it a little..."
Introduction: Outside of Jaws, the one of earlier movies I remember seeing as a child, [that I wasn't allowed to watch], was probably Ron Howard's "Backdraft". I was curious about fire; How it moved, its color. You name it, I was fascinated by it and the film satisfied ...

Awakenings

Robert De Niro, Robin Williams

Sony Pictures, 1994

From the author of Tales of Ancient Xenar
Yes, I saw this movie after it was released on VHS back in 1991. This movie wasn't one of Robin Williams' usual fare since comedy films are more his norm. But in this film, he performed well. This film was also different for its other actor, Robert DeNiro. Action ...

Dear America - Letters Home from Vietnam

Tom Berenger, Ellen Burstyn

Hbo Home Video, 1995

VIETNAM DVD
I JUST FINISHED WATCHING DEAR AMERICA: LETTERS HOME FROM VIETNAM AND THIS IS THE BEST FILM ABOUT VIETNAM....EVER!!!!PLEASE BUY THIS DVD TO REALLY UNDERSTAND WHAT HAPPEN "IN COUNTRY" OVER THRITY-FIVE YEARS AGO.....OUTSTANDING FILM AND PLEASE CREDIT HBO FOR SHOWING THIS ...

Raging Bull

Frank Adonis, Bernie Allen

MGM (Video & DVD), 1996

Scorcese and DeNiro's Best Work - How can a film about such ugly people be so beautiful?
This definitely isn't your average feel-good, stereotypical, underdog boxing movie. After all, Sly Stallone was the sole owner to the keys to that kingdom four years prior w/ his beloved "Rocky". In fact, this film really isn't about boxing at all (although there's a ...

1900

Robert De Niro, Gérard Depardieu

Paramount, 1998

Brilliant, yet not for every taste...
Bertolucci's massive epic has wonderful and grim moments, and is a must for every serious cinema buff. That said, it isn't for everyone and demands much of the viewer. Dominique Sanda's performance alone is worth your time, to say nothing of De Niro back in the days ...

The Deer Hunter

Robert De Niro, Christopher Walken

MCA/Universal Home Video, 1992

A defining film in the long history of war movies
Deer Hunter is the story of a group of young American men prior to, during and after their service as GI's in Vietnam. It is a powerful, intimate and realistic movie that touches the very soul of the American Dream. The young men are innocent, a bit lost in their ...

Heat

Casino (2pc)

Robert De Niro, Sharon Stone

Universal Studios, 1997

Scorsese,Deniro & Pesci deliver again
Casino has to be one of the most underrated films that Martin Scorsese directed in the nineties. The acting by the leads is good and the script is excellent. Robert Deniro gave an Oscar worthy performance and Joe Pesci is chilling yet funny again. Even Sharon Stone is ...

The Godfather, Part II

Al Pacino, Robert Duvall

Paramount, 1998

Continuing the Saga
The GODFATHER II DVD The God father is based upon Mario Puzo's novel of a Sicilian Family moved to the United States circa 1920's. Don Corleone goes into the olive oil business, what else would you expect? He soon learns that it is easier to make money on the ...
