Then:

Also once considered the greatest actor in the world (apart from Al Pacino), an icon of 70s cinema, and star of some of the greatest movies of all time, De Niro was an acting god at one point. Mean Streets, The Godfather Part II, Taxi Driver, The Deer Hunter, Raging Bull, The King of Comedy, Once Upon a Time in America, Brazil, The Untouchables, Midnight Run, Goodfellas, Heat, Casino, Jackie Brown – all made in one remarkable 25 year period.

For a good 16 years, beginning with Rocky & Bullwinkle in 2000, Robert De Niro has seemingly made it his mission to banish society’s collective fond memories of him. The films have included Godsend, Shark Tale, two Fockers movies, Hide and Seek, Righteous Kill, New Year’s Eve, Last Vegas, Grudge Match – the list goes on, but, mercifully, we won’t.
