Okay, I love Robert DeNiro.
I truly love this guy. Is it possible to watch one of his flicks and not be mesmerized?

1. Agreed!
I was just thinking that, having seen Taxi Driver for the umpteenth time the other night.

I thought he was great in Taxi Driver, Ronin, Casino, and The King of Comedy (he has a very good comedic presence).

3. Well, you're inside the industry, so you would definitely know.
He was real good in Casino, wasn'he? He was in a movie with Meryl Streep, where they played people who were married to other people, but had an affair. I can't remember the name of the pic, but it was poignant.

I'm watching Taxi Driver right now, for the first time since 1976, if you can believe that! :hi:

5. Casino is one of my favourite movies ever.
I consider it to be one of the last Hollywood "epics". Every scene in that movie is bigger than life. DeMille would have been proud!

6. Okay, I'll confess that I liked him in Meet the Parents and Analyize This, too!
There's just something about him that commands attention. Have you ever worked with him?

7. When I was in college, I interned as a script reader for a producer who is
a good friend of DeNiro. He called done day and was very polite, friendly and nice. He asked abut my day, what I did and if I'd read anything half-way decent in a while. It was a great experience!
