Al Pacino vs Robert De niro?

Arguably two of the greatest actors. Al pacino's best films include Godfather trilogy, Scarface, Scent of a woman, Donnie Brasco, Carlitos way etc. Robert d's include Godfather part 2, Goodfellas, casino, Raging Bull etc. Imo Al pacino edges it but both legends nevertheless.

De Nero wins imo, but both pale in comparison to Olivier.

Scent of a woman was crap. Serpico, And Justice For All and Dog Day Afternoon were far better

Scent of a woman was crap.

Scent of a Woman was not crap. You have no heart.

De Niro purely down the greatest film ever made in which he starred, the film that upped the game for modern directors and actors alike, Meet the Fockers shadows all his and any other actor's work.

Pacino killed De Niro in Heat.
