De Niro Vs De Niro!!!!! I can't decide over his 2 best performances.
on 7/24/2009
Argh! This is next to impossible. Might have to toss a coin. No...no, it's Raging Bull.

De Niro's performance is better in Raging Bull, but Taxi Driver is the better movie. I deferred to my icon for a last minute "Yes you're right" confirmation.

I can't decide between these two when side-by-side, but I would rather watch TAXI DRIVER at this particular moment, and, I suspect, almost always.

It's Taxi Driver for me. I just think it's a better movie.

Raging Bull never lets up. Taxi Driver, by comparison, seems to be more buildup than anything. Not that the buildup was not compelling. It was. But it was not until its conclusion that it struck me as anything special.

2 of the all time greats. Both observe lives of lonely people, one who finds an outlet valued by society, the other locked into a life of estrangement and alienation. The world of Travis is eerily easlily identified despite its being unique to him and his own psychology. Raging Bull is a remarkable biopic with a bravura perfomance, but Taxi Driver transcends mere story telling and illustrates the unversal through the peculiar.

Taxi Driver is potentially my favorite... after watching it a few times it has really sunk deeply in my mind... it's pretty baffling, the amount of depth invested in Travis Bickle... but Raging Bull aint too bad aitha.

I think both are fantastic films, but, in my opinion Raging Bull is honestly just the better film.

I didn't love either of these movies quite as much as their reputation. Both very good, but despite having seen it more recently, I don't remember nearly as much about Raging Bull as I do Taxi Driver. On even ground in most respects, I have to give it to the more distinctive film; the one that's lingered in my memory.

Both of them are great movies. De Niro's an effing master and he shows it in both. But at any given moment, I'd rather watch Taxi Driver. I think it's got a better flow. It's easier to watch. For me, anyway. Taxi Driver's just got that something that I can't put my finger on that gives it the edge.

I have to agree with MovieNerd. These are two of the best films on the planet but Raging Bull is too good to lose this match up.

both masterpieces from one of the greatest directors ever, and both very high on my list. I have to go with Raging Bull this time

Even though Raging Bull had Pesci in it I'm still going with Travis "You talking to me?" Bickle.

I wasn't impressed at all by either one of these. I guess I was less bored in Taxi Driver.
on 6/28/2011
I couldn't really get in to Taxi Driver and Raging Bull is infinitely more compelling to me.

Raging Bull. The fact De Niro had to eat his way through Italy to gain 60 pounds while being paid is great!
Both films show De Niro at his best! If I had to choose between the acting...I would pick Raging Bull (not saying De Niro was bad in Taxi Driver though) but as for the movies themselves...I pick Taxi Driver :)

By far my two favorite De Niro flicks, and Scorsese for that matter too, but I have to give it to Raging Bull which has to be my favorite movie of all time. Best acting performance of all time.

Raging Bull is without a doubt the better overall film in my eyes. Shot better, the subject matter is more interesting (to me, at least) and I preferred De Niro's performance in Raging Bull as well, although he's definitely fantastic in Taxi Driver too. Plus, Taxi Driver doesn't have Joe Pesci.

De Niro's two best performances. Taxi Driver is far more entertaining, and offers more insight on human nature, and therefore gets my vote. I suppose Raging Bull is the greater technical accomplishment, but Taxi Driver is my favorite Scorsese.

Taxi Driver. It's a very thought provoking film and has one of the greatest movie endings of all time. I actually think Raging Bull is a bit overrated. I think the only thing that Raging Bull has on Taxi Driver is Joe Pesci, who was brilliant by the way.

Raging Bull is better than Taxi Driver by a little bit. Robert De Niro shows off his best performance in Raging Bull along with Joe Pesci.
