Who has had the better movie career Al Pacino or Robert Deniro and why?!
Question: Although both have done good work, sadly they are to the stage where they are doing caricatures of themselves.
DeNiro by far is the better actor. He has done many more divergent characters in his career than has Pacino. Deniro also has much better comedic timing and more comedic credits than Pacino. Pacino is impressive to watch for a while until you figure out that he tends to over act and use the same vocal mannerisms over and over. DeNiro is a much more nuanced actor.
As to the most successful movie career IMDB says
Number Of movies made Deniro 75, Pacino 45
Director Credits Deniro 2, Pacino 3
Oscars Deniro 2, Pacino 1
Other Awards Deniro 23, Pacino 26
Nominations Deniro 34, Pacino 35
I have to say given those numbers the clear winner is DeNiro

Deniro, with such films as Ronin to his credit you must go with Robert.
Al Pacino because he has done more good movies than Robert DeNiro
I'd say al pacino had the better movie career because though Robert de niro has done more films, he usually chooses entertaining but generic thrillers or comedies.Al pacino on the other hand chooses character driven roles which while may not result in the films being entertaining, test his acting skills to the hilt.please have a look at the wikipedia links below links, if u haven't checked them out yet, and no they are not affected by "wikiality" ;-)
Al Pacino he 's been in the best movies but i love The Goodfellas
Robert De Niro, because he got the chance of working eight times with Martin Scorsese, one of the best director ever.
