De Niro has Godfather 2, Taxi Driver, Mean Streets, Deer Hunter, Raging Bull? in this decade
Pacino has Serpico, Godfather 1 and 2, Dog Day Afternoon, Panic in the needle park, Scarecrow (weird movie)
Nicholson has Chinatown, the cuckoo's nest, lots of good indie movies, not sure of Shining being in this decade
I think Pacino didn't need a Tier-1 movie director to have a great movie
 
Dreyfuss is underrated imo he was great in Jaws and Close Encounters.
 
Pacino simply because Raging Bull was out in 1980. If that was 79 a totally different discussion!
 
I am not going to distinguish between their 'great' roles, as all three have them in that top tier. And all three tend to be in the big drama/action type movies.

I pick De Niro as i think he stretched out beyond that group of movies and had some really good work, more than the other two did.
 
This is a tough one.

If Raging Bull is included, then De Niro.

If not, it's either Nicholson or Pacino.
 
This is why I never come into these threads. I literally opened this thread with a smile knowing that De Niro couldn't possibly be winning. Of course the GOAT is in last place.

Utter insanity. Just Taxi Driver trumps everything that Pacino and Nicholson did in the '70s. Then add Mean Streets and The Godfather II and The Deer Hunter. Come on people.
 
Pacino is leading and I am surprised. I think the other two have better performances. Some of Pacino is just too much. Nothing he has done matches Raging Bull, Taxi Driver, Goodfellas, China Town, A Few Good Men, One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest....
