Good actors, BAD movies...

Yes.

But his talent for picking scripts has gone to hell in a handbasket.

And Casino. I also liked him in Great Expectations, but maybe that's just me.

I often overlook Goodfellas. That and Ronin are pretty much the only good movies he's made since 1990.

And he was pretty good in Copland. "You blewwwwiiiiit!"

AND Backdraft.

I forget Jackie Brown, too.

But he's now crossed the line into self parody. It's not like he did anything in Meet The Parents other than be on screen and allow audiences to go "Oh look, DeNiro! He's a badass in other movies!"

Pfft. Clearly you're forgetting one of his more recent roles, sure to make the modern day canon of greatness.

It may be for the money. "Bad script, but a big pile of cash. I'll take it."

Why has no one mentioned Pacino? What has he done lately that's been any good? He's a good actor, but lately (as in the past 10 years) he just always plays the same role.

Amen. It seems Pacino hasn't acted since Glengary Glen Ross. He became the amazing barking man.

My picks-
Nick Nolte in The Hulk.
Morgan Freeman in Bruce Almighty.
Hackman in Superman IV. I mean really, Gene. You come back after wisely staying away from III and agree to be the Duckman's uncle?

Don't forget Batman
