Heat
The chemistry between Al Pacino and Robert De Niro is the highlight of this film. This incredible scene from Heat was performed with fewer words and more emotions. Both the iconic actors are known for their grandeur appearances and acting finesse. One scene depicts a meeting between a high-line criminal Neil McAuley, played by Robert De Niro and detective who is hunting him, Vincent Hanna, portrayed by Al Pacino.
The Godfather: Part II
Al Pacino’s portrayal of Michael Corleone counts as one of his greatest performances. Michael’s brother Fredo, played by John Cazale betrayed him and his whole family. Amidst the chaos and brief heated argument, Fredo reveals that he has been passed over several times by his father. The Godfather: Part II also features Robert De Niro as young Vito Corleone, whose escape to New York is beautifully showcased in the film.

The duo’s performance is worth the applause and they received several accolades for their respective roles.
