Cool. What's your favorite Robert De Niro film?
I love "The Godfather Part II", for which he won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor.
I hate to admit, I've never seen The Godfather Part !!. Was that De Niro's best movie?
Either that, or the film he won an Academy Award for Best Actor - his portrayal of Jake LaMotta in the 1980 film "Raging Bull".
I've never seen that either. I saw the movie Heat with him. Have you seen that one?
