Tough call between Raging Bull and Midnight Run. I’ll say Midnight Run. ---

Another vote for The Godfather Part 2. It’s one of my favorite movies of all time (ahead even of The Godfather, which is saying a lot), and the young Vito story is, IMO, the best part of the movie. ---

Having spent a few years driving a yellow cab (a Checker, just like Travis Bickle!), in New York, at night, just a few years after _Taxi Driver_ was released (before Giuliani, before the cleanup of Times Square, before gentrification, etc.), _Taxi Driver_ resonates especially deeply with me. But for sheer acting brilliance, _Raging Bull_ is my favorite. ---

Another vote for Godfather II. It’s an easy pick for me. My second pick is Casino. ---

> [@ShibbOleth](#): > > _Brazil_, while not technically a DeNiro flick, is greatly enhanced by his role as the plumber. Yeah, he’s great in Brazil. ---
