When you are referring to the highest actors working today, one actor which is forever in the discussion is Robert De Niro. Regardless of if he's starring in a drama, comedy as well as animated film, Robert De Niro's enthusiasm and love for acting always seems to glow. He's tried it all, and should be as successful while he is.

Listed below are my top 5 favorite Robert De Niro movies of them all.

Probably the most popular Robert De Niro film in recent history will be the Martin Scorsese directed mafia film Goodfellas. This movie won the Academy Award for the most powerful picture in 1991, with justification. This is the true rags to riches story, and so actually is in line with the true story of Henry Hill.

Another movie that is definitely on my own top five list is Heat. This movie is among few that stars both Robert De Niro and Al Pacino, probably the two greatest actors working today. This movie is directed by Michael Mann and is a completely incredible film.

Casino is among the most popular films that will happen to star this phenomenal actor. It came as no surpise until this movie was awesome because it had the certified stamp of De Niro, Pesci and Scorsese cooperating, a surefire combination to get a memorable film.

Sleepers is another film which makes the cut for me personally. Make no mistake, this movie is hard to watch. When he will not be the forefront with the film, he certainly adds to this film's brilliance. This movie also stars Mr brad pitt, Billy Crudup, Dustin Hoffman and Kevin Bacon.

Finally, I felt that A Bronx Tale would have been a film that has been worth mentioning. This can be one of the few mob films that stars Robert De Niro since the good guy! Chazz Palmienteri, who also happened to publish the script, plays the not so good guy with this one.

While these films comprise my top 5 favorites, I'll want to create a check in article listing films 6-10 immediately.
