Agree. It got a little corny with some of the Vietnam scenes but all in all a great performance

Just some of the Vietnam scenes. Very far fetched, nonsense. Besides that it was phenomenal

I just rewatched Deer Hunter about a month ago and agree here.   I had forgotten how great the pre-Nam lead up was, and how over the top the scenes there can get.  Still an epic, great movie, but not without it's warts.

Guess I need to rewatch it. Been a while.  

[BuckSwope 654]

Since the question was best movie - IMO it has to go back to Scorsese and be Taxi Driver or Raging Bull.   Favorite De Niro movie would be Heat since that's a top 10 movie for me.

Interesting.>Wife and I were going through available flicks on netflix and that was there and I told her I had never seen it.  She said it's good.  Maybe I need to check that one out too

I think it’s Deniro’s best movie, period.

 I really liked it except for the wedding scene in the beginning. To long. The Walken scenes were the best.

Yep. This movie was on cable one summer I think when I was a kid and I watched it a quite a few times. Underrated movie.

Yep.  Great movie

Taxi Driver

Heat

Midnight Run was a Charles Grodin movie. 

[Thornton Melon 605]

Midnight Run was the first that came to my mind. I love that movie. But it doesn't fit the criteria. Walsh and Mardukavich are running from the FBI and the Chicago mob for the whole movie. Sounds "mob-related" to me. 

So, I'll say Heat

And I guess there were angry mobs of villagers in Frankenstein, so maybe strike that from the list.

I didn't see that movie, but your logic sounds reasonable.

I found this movie to be the best movie with dinero in it: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0043844/?ref_=fn_al_tt_12

A true classic in cinema

“Master criminal Neil McCauley (Robert De Niro) is trying to control the rogue actions of one of his men”

Heat is sorta mob-esque as well. It’s organized crime, no?

Watched it last night.  Its ok.  I wouldn't call it epic and definitely not one of De Niros best
