Tossup between Goodfellas and The Godfather Part II. I think I'll go with Goodfellas though, even though Godfather II is the film I prefer, if we're just going by DeNiro's performance I think he was better in Goodfellas.
Edit: I didn't see you said Top 10. So here they are
1. Goodfellas
2. The Godfather Part II
3. Raging Bull
4. Casino
5. Taxi Driver
6. Awakenings
7. The Untouchables
8. Heat
9. Meet The Parents
10. Midnight Run

I will never understand the hype behind The Deer Hunter. That movie had a plot that could have been condensed into a 38 minute movie yet they drug it out to 3 hours.
that said ...
Goodfellas
Casino
Midnight Run
Godfather 2
Cape Fear
Ronin
Heat
The Untouchables
Analyze This
Midnight Run is one of my all time favorite movies.
Glad to see this mentioned...also one of my all time favorites made by him along with Raging Bull, Cape Fear and Analyze This.

Seriously the only 2 movies that really matter ever are Casino and Goodfellas.
Show a little respect here! Raging Bull is a staple in his career. The only Best Actor award he's ever won, and not to mention the method acting used.
Bob and Marty (Scorsese) are an incredible team when making films.

Has anyone mention Rocky and Bullwinkle?
Although his role in Great Expectations was small, I loved him in this too!
Glad to see this mentioned...also one of my all time favorites made by him along with Raging Bull, Cape Fear and Analyze This.
