Not a list of his most iconic roles, but his best acting performances:

1) Awakenings
2) Raging Bull
3) King of Comedy

Godfather 2 was tough for me to leave out but I'm extremely fond of King of Comedy. If I made this a top 5 GF2 and Taxi Driver or Deer Hunter would have been the next two

Not saying it deserves to be in that group, but he was pretty money in Heat too.

Freaux have you seen King of Comedy? May have been Jerry Lewis's greatest acting job as well IMO>

Love this scene.

Secretary Bailey: [checking his pocket watch] It's 10:25. And I've got nothing left to lose. When you've been betrayed by a friend, you hit back. Do it.
[Noodles is still and silent for a long time]
Noodles: You see, Mr Secretary... I have a story also, a little simpler than yours. Many years ago, I had a friend, a dear friend. I turned him in to save his life, but he was killed. But he wanted it that way. It was a great friendship. But it went bad for him, and it went bad for me too. Good night, Mr Bailey.
[He looks at the man in front of him for the last time]
Noodles: I hope the investigation turns out to be nothing. It'd be a shame to see a lifetime of work go to waste.
[He leaves, with Max looking after him with remorse and sorrow]

Though to lighthearted of a movie to garner the praise from the artsy fartsy crowd he nailed the role in Midnight Run.

I would put Taxi Driver, Godfather 2, and Goodfellas in my top 3 in no order.
