I'd say old Vito Corleone beats young Vito Corleone in this matchup. On the Waterfront features a much more interesting story.

In Raging Bull Jake LaMotta quotes On the Waterfront. Both films are great, but De Niro > Brando in my book. Raging Bull wins.

Incredible matchup here. Waterfront for me. Young Brando vs. young DeNiro is about as close as you can get to a draw. In the end though, Waterfront just hit home and resonated with me more than Raging Bull.

I love De Niro in every film I've seen (my favourite of his performances are Taxi Driver, GFII and Raging Bull) but Brando's performance in On the Waterfront is superior in my opinion of course. Likewise, On the Waterfront beats Raging Bull.

Raging Bull is the true classic. Raning Bull wins this round.

Both classics with some similarities. While I do love Raging Bull, I do think On the waterfront is superior.
