Robert De Niros legacy as one of the greatest actors in cinema history is secure; after all, you don't make movies like Taxi Driver, The Deer Hunter, Raging Bull, The Godfather Part II, The King Of Comedy, Midnight Run or Heat by accident. Ask any young performer today who inspired them to get into the business, and the odds are good theyll mention De Niro at some point. The release of a new De Niro movie is no longer the cultural event it used to be, however. Maybe its the lack of great scripts or strong directors that's the problem, but most of his recent output tend to be a bit, well, crap. Hes made so many turkeys with such alarming regularity for the last two decades that audiences have become instinctively cautious when a new film comes along. If the reviews for Dirty Grandpa are any indication, that doesnt look set to change anytime soon. His reasons for appearing in such garbage is varied; he might want to work with a particular actor or director, he could be doing someone a favour or and this is the most likely offender hes being paid really well. Listed here are some of the great actors worst movies to date, which prove that even legends can have a bad day; or, in this case, a twenty-year streak of bad days.
