I like those hippy late-60's or early 70's film d'auteur (ala The Trip, Easy Rider, Model Shop or Zabriskie), so I prefer The Swap or Born To Win to the later big productions like Godfather Deer Hunter, Taxi or Raging Bull. 
let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

Most of these guys did their best work in the 70s. De Niro, Nicholson, Pacino, etc..

"Taxi Driver" because he's playing a supporting character in Godfather II, which I love as well. Best sequel ever. But Marlon Brando will always be "The Godfather" to me.

Taxi

I'm running still, I shall until, one day, I hope that I'll arrive

That's the only one I haven't seen. Embarrassed

I saw it when it was first released in cinemas and found it really tough going, as good as DeNiro is in it.

"Taxi Driver" for me here with "The Deer Hunter" and "New York, New York" close behind (but not that close). 

I have never warmed to De Niros gangster movie roles, or gangster movies in general for that matter.

Ricky Gervais doesn't believe Robert de Niro's waiting, and he's talking Italian too. Tongue

 The first two Godfather movies are nearly flawless so it's had for me to vote for anything else when one of those are in play.  After Godfather II on this list I would go with Taxi Driver & the Deer Hunter.
