Edit:

IMO, they were pretty equal until about 1997. Pacino lost my interest after Donnie Brasco and Carlito's Way and DeNiro hasn't really done it for me since Casino and Jackie Brown.

 

They both seem to be caricatures of themselves now.

I find threads that start with "Discuss" or "Go" to be condescending.

 

pfft.

I think DeNiro is underrated for his more recent performances. "Meet the Parents" is brilliant as are some of his smaller roles. Yes, he has played a gangster a few too many times but the guy still delivers. He may not have the roles that he once had but his best work could still be in front of him.

 

I, for one, don't even find Pacino remotely close.

I give DeNiro the edge now even though he's hasn't really had a role that grabbed me lately.

 

Pacino hasn't been subtle in ten years.

Definitely DeNiro. Goodfellas. Raging Bull. End of story.

 

That pretty much sums it up - :thumbup

 

(though I would raise you Mean Streets and Taxi Driver)

 

I think Pacino's last decent role was Ricky Roma in Glengarry Glen Ross - it's been pretty much downhill ever since.
