Casino?

Over 20 years ago?

Has anyone coasted longer than him who hasn't had a great role in a long time?

Maybe Pacino.

I mean, if you've been making crap movies for 20+ years, there is a problem. What am I missing?

Meet the Parents was pretty good. Not a "great" movie, though.

Perhaps Scorcese made him?

Silver Linings Playbook was a great movie. DeNiro was good in it.

Limitless. Not because of him though.

DeNiro is only still working for the paycheck now. At least Nicholson and Connery had the decency to retire.

Deniro really isn't that great of an actor.

Silver Linings Playbook
American Hustle
Joy

Just by being in David O. Russell's ensemble team, he's stays in great movies.

That's what I got, too.

I mean, his role in the original Meet the Parents was good, because of the context of his earlier career - didn't know he was going to go all Eddie Murphy/Steve Martin on us the rest of the way.

Sad, really. Guy was arguably the best screen actor since Burton (or Brando) - for about 15 years...

Can be argued both ways - but once you consider what Marty did with Leo - then, maybe it was more Marty than Bobby.

Heat ('95), The Good Shepherd ('06), Silver Linings Playbook ('12), American Hustle ('13)

Depends which movies you consider great.

Heat was the last great movie. Meet the Parents was the last good movie.

Scorsese, De Niro and Pesci are doing another collaboration. It'll be released by Netflix sometime next year.

Stone. Norton was also excellent in it and you see that Milla Jonovich's nipple could cut through bullet proof glass.

I can't believe he made a straight to DVD film a few years ago. I can't think of the name but it was terrible.
