The 1993 film This Boy’s Life marks the first time Robert De Niro and Leonardo DiCaprio collaborated.
Playing the role of the abusive stepfather Dwight Hansen, De Niro’s performance alongside the young actor is harrowing, emotional, and profound in such a way that critics couldn’t help but praise him for his talent.
In his first-ever collaboration with director Martin Scorsese, Robert De Niro plays John “Johnny Boy” Civello in the 1973 crime drama Mean Streets.
Named “one of the best American films of the decade” by Time Out magazine, De Niro’s performance landed him a National Society of Film Critics award for Best Supporting Actor
In The Score, Robert De Niro plays the role of Nick Wells, a master safe-cracker who wants to retire from a life of crime. Of course, there is one more heist he gets wrapped up in, alongside the one and only Marllon Brando.
This film marks the one, and only time the two legendary actors are onscreen together, and it is truly a marvel.
Based on the novel of the same name, True Confessions follows the story of the Spellacy brothers, one a detective the other a priest. While the detective, played by Robert Duvall, investigates a murder, the priest, played by Robert De Niro, is trying to expand his church in a shady way.
