King of Comedy is not only one of De Niro's best performances, but one of the best films I've ever seen

Posted by: numbersix_99 on Apr 10, 09:10 in response to Tanker's post New York New York, King of Comedy were pretty bad

It was one of the first great  cringe comedy films, and I'd argue there'd be no The Office or Curb Your Enthusiasm if it wasn't for it.

Has a hall-of-fame (if there was one for actors) caliber actor ever been in two worse movies than Al Pacino (Jack&Jill/Gigli)? {nm} BionicMoron Apr 10, 08:30

Robert DiNiro was in Rocky and Bullwinkle and probably something else just as awful. {nm} Tanker Apr 10, 08:31

I thought of De Niro but couldn't come up with a second after R&B. BionicMoron Apr 10, 08:33

New York New York, King of Comedy were pretty bad {nm} Tanker Apr 10, 08:35

15 Minutes, Godsend, Showtime {nm} RogerMore Apr 10, 08:54

I guess I'm missing the gene that allows me to find the humor in any of your examples, to each his own. {nm} Tanker Apr 10, 09:17

King of Comedy is fine movie, thoroughly enjoyed at Delta House. What are you, an Omega or something? {nm} DTXbro Apr 10, 09:10

Did you forget about Little Fockers? {nm} Jay_Beezy Apr 10, 13:00

*ding*ding*ding* WE HAVE A WINNA!!! {nm} Tanker Apr 10, 08:34

That's a good call. {nm} BionicMoron Apr 10, 08:35

Thunderbirds, BloodRayne, and The Love Guru make up a pretty formidable trio. {nm} stevie1der328 Apr 10, 08:42

Why arent you looking at me? {nm} Hillary Swank Apr 10, 08:46

There's a reason the Hardest Working Fund is named for Michael Caine. {nm} RogerMore Apr 10, 08:50

On Jaws IV: âI have never seen it, but by all accounts it is terrible. However, I have seen the house that it built, and it is terrific.â {nm} Tanker Apr 10, 09:20

Stupid farked up quotation marks {nm} Tanker Apr 10, 09:22

Harvey Keitel...Little Nicky and bound to be something else... {nm} Catzan Apr 10, 08:58

I'm sure we could find at least a couple of bad movies in every actor's repertoire... {nm} slappydavid Apr 10, 09:02

Here comes a new challenger! Nic Cage Apr 10, 09:19

Trying to think when Nic Cage was a high caliber actor... {nm} Tanker Apr 10, 09:25

He won an Oscar. That throws his hat in the ring. (Same with Cuba Gooding Jr.) {nm} RogerMore Apr 10, 09:28

Yeah, but winning an Oscar doesn't make you Pacino caliber. Case in point, Cuba Gooding, Jr. Tanker Apr 10, 09:30

Oh, agreed. I'm struggling to find another HoF proxy though. SAG Lifetime is too limited. {nm} RogerMore Apr 10, 09:39

What takes Pacino to another level is that one of the awful ones, was him playing himself. {nm} Dales Apr 10, 09:42
