In addition to the movies you mentioned, Pacino's role in Scent of A Woman gives him the edge in my book.

DeNiro. Ever since scent of a woman Pacino eats up the scenery.

Tough call. I'll go with DeNiro.

and he was in the original "Godfather."

Unfortunately, he was also in the final "Godfather."

Pacino. Deniro has become so damned boring. He has the biggest gap between his rep and his talent of any major star--tons of boring performances.

Pacino may not have the range of some actors, but damn at least he's entertaining. HEAT is one of the most misunderstood performances in movies (the charactor is acting).

DeNiro's given some good, interesting performances but tons of boring bombs. Pacino's entertaining everytime out of the gate.

DeNiro. More range as an actor.

Can't stand Pacino. I think he's one of the most overrated actors ever. He couldn't do subtlety if his life depended on it. I for the most part avoid his movies.

De Niro rocks.

I love Deniro. Especially in some movies like as Father Bobby in Sleepers, Analyze This, Meet the Parents, Jackie Brown. Bronx Tale, Boys Life, Midnight Run, Awakenings..and on and on and on.

WHO HAS MORE RANGE? I say Deniro hands down.

DeNiro. Always more interesting and real. Pacino has made one lousy, pretentious movie after another.

I loved DeNiro as the looney electrician in Terry Gilliam's Brazil...
if you have not seen it, SEE IT... (make sure it is the Terry Gilliam version, not the supid Americanized Hollywood botch version).

I also loved him in The Misson where he played the sinner.... fabulous....

Deniro is incoherent as a human being off the stage or set Pacino is a flaming Lib, but can construct a sentace off the set, not many but at least one or two. They are both gifted actors, but empty shells as human beings.

Pacino.

For me De Niro is always playing the same character. He can't change his delivery enough to make me see anyone but De Niro.

Pacino often chews up the scenery, but he almost never resembles the same character twice (except when the director is a complete moron, as in Frankie and Johnie).

Think the Godfather saga, Dog Day Afternoon and Scent of a Woman for Pacino vs Taxi Driver, Godfather 2 and virtually anything else De Niro has done.

Tell me the difference in De Niro's performances?

Pacino over acts sometimes but he does not pick so many rolls. De Niro does not over act but does to many movies also he is better at comedy.
