In which movie do you think De Niro gave a better performance? Everyone says Raging Bull was De Niro's best performance, and I always agreed... Until I saw Taxi Driver. As it says in the trailer, "You'll never see a more chilling performance." This is so true. His character is so pitiful, and knows very little about many things. Anyways, yeah, which do you think is his better performance? I went with Taxi Driver.

Oh, and I'm not asking about the better MOVIE, I'm asking which you think De Niro played his part better in, what his better performance was.

I had to struggle with this one. I saw Taxi Driver first, so that performance has stuck with we a little more then Raging Bull. But his Jake La Motta is so incredible. I'm probably gonna regret it but I went with Taxi Driver, for the exact reason you mentioned, how pitiful he was. That one scene where he is trying to reach out to Wizard, "I got bad thoughts in my head." , is terrifying and pitiful at the same time. Truly amazing

Taxi Driver. Raging Bull was good and he had to gain 65 lbs. But Taxi Driver was a really phycotic performance and that was the first time he did one like that.

I really need to see both of these movies..

Did Raging Bull come out on DVD ??

I know it was out on DVD. I've seen it at Blockbuster but I think the stopped releasing it. Becuase I wanted to buy it and I looked everywhere and the only place I could find it was on ebay for $70.

Raging bull is out of print on all formats.

its on DVD, i bought it recently and the same with Taxi Driver. Raging Bull' s cover has Robert Deniro's face all sweaty on it and says Raging Bull in red writing

Also, the scene where Travis(De Niro) confronts Betsy... "Why don't you return my calls? You don't think I know you're here?" Sends chills up and down my spine. "You're in hell, and you're gonna die in hell... just like the rest of them." Seeing it makes me get tense... Such awesome acting.

especially when he first appears with the mohawk.

sry, forgot to say the quote "Suck on this! (gunshot)" chilling

Or, the almight famous "you talkin' to me?" scene... Awesome... Great acting.

"Raging Bull" for sure. The most intense performance by any American actor since Brando's in "Streetcar Named Desire."
Welcome back, Anthony!

Raging Bull' s cover has Robert Deniro's face all sweaty on it and says Raging Bull in red writing[/b][/quote]Then you are lucky because Raging Bull is def. out of print, they may have pulled it because they want to release a better cut, more footage, interviews etc.

I hope it get's more footage I would love to see the extra's of these movies..

impossible...I JUST BOUGHT IT.

I had to go with Taxi Driver, De Niro did great in Raging Bull but how am I supposed to know if he did a great La Motta? I've seen a little bit of one of his fights on ESPN Classics fighting Sugar Ray but that's it. Taxi Driver he was a great psycho . But he gets shot in multiple places and still lives, I don't know about that one...

It's not that unbelievable... Remember, the last half hour or so of the movie, he's training and getting all shaped up and everything. He does this to toughen himself up for the end, from the gun shot wounds, fights, ect.

Thanks for the welcome, Turnbull! I feel honored to be welcomed by you. :p *bows to the almighty Turnbull*

I feel sorry for you yanks first you get a crappy version of Scarface which is now OOP, we in England have got the excellent anamorphic version .

Now you have got a crappy version of Raging Bull, we have got 20th Anniversery Special 2 Disc Version.

I'm not trying to rub salt in wounds here.

I wonder when all this shit's gonna come out for us Patriots(Americans, duh), eh?

i ordered mine last year for $18. . .
btw, i voted for Raging Bull.

Sometime this year, there's no official date yet but it'll most likely release during the fall or winter.

thats good to hear..

Good... I heard a bit ago there was going to be a special edition GoodFellas and Scarface coming out in the USA in December... Never happened.

Scarface is suposed to come out in a week or 2. But knowing hollywood, probably another 6 months.
