FannyCornforth TerriBull Raging Bull is always at the top or near the top of film critics lists for great films. I don’t think it’s an enjoyable film as such but can still totally appreciate De Niro in it.
GONY is a bit too graphic in it’s violence at times for me, but agree about Cameron Diaz, totally mis-cast imo. Plus, and I know this will be sacrilege to some, I’ve never liked Leo DiCaprio, he just doesn’t do it for me as an actor.
DDL, on the other hand, I love. I can’t think of a single film of his that I’ve seen that I haven’t really enjoyed, my personal favourite being The Last of the Mohicans which I have watched several times, it’s so beautiful.
I haven’t seen The Irishman, but given the cast, I’m sure I’d enjoy it. Pacino, Keitel, Pesci, what’s not to enjoy? De Niro really has made some poor choices over the years, hasn’t he? When you think of his brilliance in Mean Streets, Taxi Driver, Godfather 2, Deerhunter, Raging Bull to name but five, it’s sad to see him in things like The Little Fockers, The Bagman, etc.
