Also, I'm biased towards De Palma obv, but how is his Meet the Parents perf not iconic and his Greetings/Hi Mom perfs are?

xpost - I'm sure it was, I just didn't ever know of its existence until just now.

I was just going to ask about 'Greetings' and 'Hi, Mom!'. Please not iconic.

voted for The Score, so easy to watch. his performance is phoned in but it works for the character.

The last half-hour of 15 Minutes, after De Niro checks out, is the most ludicrous nonsense I've seen in quite some time. As late De Niro goes, he's actually pretty good before that.

i should have included "Cop Land" in this one.

The Fan wasn’t good overall, but playing a sports-radio-obsessed nut definitely fit his skill set.

So was 'Wag the Dog' robbed or is it iconic?

character is sort of a remix of his taxi driver/king of comedy thing, no?

Those two, and even the Jackie Brown character in some ways.

I think what's on and what's not is fine, allowing for some subjectivity. Myself, I wouldn't distinguish between The Last Tycoon and New York, New York--I'd have them both on (in that they're both in the middle of his peak years, and he's good in both) or both off (in that they're both minor in terms of the films around them).

True Confessions was considered something of a little masterpiece when I were a lad. It’s really fallen off the radar since I guess.

i watched that on a strong recommendation a few years ago. i like some of the other films by that director, ulu grosbard, a lot. but i found it, just ok.
