Some Of The Most Memorable Movies From The Incredibly Talented Performer, Joe Pesci
When making a list of the greatest actors working today, one person that often goes overlooked is Joe Pesci. Maybe that is because he quietly has been staying away from the silver screen; in the past ten years, he has only been in two films. You cannot question the films this man has been in though. He is a truly amazing actor.
The following films are what I consider to be the best Joe Pesci films of all time.
The first movie that I will discuss is one of the few sequels that Joe Pesci has starred in, and that film is none other than Home Alone 2: Lost In New York. While the original Home Alone is a true children’s classic, I enjoyed the sequel even more. Pesci was hilarious in both these movies.
I have to include Casino on this list. I absolutely loved Scorsese’s depiction of the Las Vegas underworld, and Pesci, Sharon Stone and Robert De Niro were all brilliant in this film.
One movie that must be mentioned when talking about movies that Pesci has starred in is Casino. Oh man, this has to be the best we have ever seen him. This is as good a villain as they come and it is amazing he did not get nominated for this role.
It’s tough to make a list of Joe Pesci films without mentioning one of his best roles, which was the part of Leo Getz in the Lethal Weapon films. Pesci provided ample humor to all three installments in which he was featured.
One of the best movies of the early 1980s was, without a doubt, Raging Bull. This was not your Disney boxing film; this is a dark and gritty performance, by both Pesci and De Niro. Robert De Niro was very much deserving of his Academy Award for Best Actor in a Leading Role.
So there you have it. These are what I consider to be Joe Pesci’s finest works to date. We can only hope that he decides to get back in the swing of things and act some more.
