A Guide to Robert De Niro Movies and TV Shows
The illustrious and multifaceted acting career of Robert De Niro has spanned across countless films, multiple generations and billions of viewers. Whether he’s part of a comedy or a drama, a suspense film or a documentary, the man brings an unmistakable energy to the screen that cannot be replicated. Let’s take a look at some of the actor’s most remarkable highlights
Taxi Driver
The actor’s breakout performance came in Martin Scorsese’s “Taxi Driver,” a 1976 drama co-starring Jodie Foster and boasting an impressive overall cast. The emotional, engaging and intriguing film charts the harrowing journey through loneliness, frustration and attempts at normalcy for Travis Bickle. This description hardly does the film justice, but fans of the film’s lead actor attest to his acting prowess.
Raging Bull
Another of Robert De Niro’s collaborations with famed director Martin Scorsese, 1980’s “Raging Bull” is an outstanding, in-depth and entertaining biographical drama centered on Jake LaMotta. The man was a legendary boxer, stand-up comedian, business owner, public speaker and author among many other things! Many consider this work to be De Niro’s best to date. “Raging Bull” is an excellent, one-of-a-kind film that all the actor’s fans should watch.
The King of Comedy
It may not have garnered the commercial success of his other famous films, but “The King of Comedy” is a phenomenal, comical, haunting and thought-provoking work that is sure to entertain most viewers, especially those seeking a film that’s appropriate for the whole family!
Goodfellas and Casino
These two films might be this star’s best works. Both Martin Scorsese collaborations once again, these films are based on real-life events. “Goodfellas” follows the rise and fall of Henry Hill, a mobster for several decades during the latter half of the 20th century, as well as his experiences and stories. “Casino” highlights the mob’s takeover, control and ultimate loss of Las Vegas casinos. “Goodfellas” and “Casino” are iconic in De Niro’s career.
It’d be impossible to cover everything in such an esteemed career. Be sure to check out excellent works like “Mean Streets,” “Cape Fear,” “Jackie Moon” and many others. Perhaps that’s the best part of this star’s acting career — he’s produced so much high-quality work that there’s always something more for fans to enjoy. Of course, he’s not anywhere near finished yet!
