An old question I know.
I'm personally plumping for Pacino....just. I don't think anyone can a tormeneted or psychopthic man like De Niro, but just think Pacino delivered top-notch perfromances in a greater variety of roles (in Dog Day Afternoon he was absolutely sublime).
Besides, in one of the greatest ever miscarraiges of justice in Academy Awards history, Pacino was criminally overlooked for best actor for his role in Godfather II. De Niro (quite rightly) got the best supporting actor nod. So I'm just redressing the balance.
Oh, and Pacino didn't appear in Hide 'n' Seek....ANOTHER PLUS!

I voted for DeNiro and straight away realised I was wrong. Pacino as Scarface is probably my favourite performance of all time. |

Favourite quote in Scarface??? Either "I only have two things in life, my word and my balls, and I don't break them for anyone" or, of course "Say 'elllo to my liiiidle friend!" |

I would have said De Niro for his early roles but some of his more recent performances aren't up to the same standard. Comedy actor he ain't!!!
