Pachino was great in DDA, "ATTICA, ATTICA, ATTICA" all the Godfathers, and I also loved him in Carlito's Way.

Deniro was egually good in GF/GF II and Goodfellas.

I'm just sorry to see they both seem to be making some films which are well below their capeabilities recently, maybe that the "Artist" thing going on.
Carlito's way is one of my faves too!

You are right about their movie choices recently.........but when you look at what is out there now...not a lot of great roles to be had. I guess they are selling out to eat! Although you would think they have enough money already. Brando didn't really work for years!
