I loved DeNiro in Awekenings, an excellent performance, maybe even better than in Taxi Driver. 
As for his worst performance I'd have to say The Fan. 
The Fan was pretty stupid. This is not the best time of his career, and similar to Pacino; notice when these guys were in their prime, you rarely saw them? Now, every time you look up, another throwaway movie.
Oddly enough, The Last Tycoon left me cold. Maybe it's because I've never cared for Hollywood films about Hollywood (which would also include "Guilty By Suspicion.")
BTW, is it true that De Niro does a total dead-on imitation of Scorsese in Angel Heart as Cypher? If so, I need to rent it and watch it again, because I totally missed that.
