Rating: Summary: "I got no choice....I got no choice" Review: A Robert De Niro box set to me should be exactly that, A Robert De Niro box set. This compilation is an interesting mix of great and not-so-great movies. In the latter category, "HEAT" ( which has to be the most over-hyped promotional tour-de-force ever heard) DE NIRO and PACINO TOGETHER! . O.K.... then what? You still need to make a movie. As for the choices, Wag, Bronx, Analyze, I enjoyed them to a certain degree but didn`t feel the need to scream it at top of my lungs when I came out of the theatre.The undisputable winner in this category is inevitably GOODFELLAS.A masterpiece. I consider myself to be a true De Niro fan and as such, find it difficult to imagine a De Niro collection without Raging Bull or Taxi Driver, just to name a few.Alright, I`ll name a few more. Awakenings, Cape Fear, Mean Streets....HEY! What do you know? Here`s a box set to really sink your teeth in. These movies clearly show Robert De Niro`s amazing talent. Afterall, we are talking about Robert De Niro.

Rating: Summary: You kidding me or what? Review: All five of these De Niro films are great, even Wag The Dog which surprised me. I will keep this short and sweet since I'm also reviewing each film separately in greater detail: Any De Niro fan would be a stunad to miss this set. Get a taste of Mob life in GoodFellas and A Bronx Tale. Get a good laugh from Analyze This. A good cops-and-robbers from Heat (with the great Al Pacino). And a good political comedy with Wag The Dog. These are all excellent, and worthy of a top shelf spot in your collection.
Rating: Summary: Very good actually Review: Although the collection is of films from many places everyone one of them is great. Analyze This - one of the most dramatically funny films of Deniro's carrer since Midnight Run. A Bronx Tale - which he directed and was also fine. Goodfellas - a very good true storie of the mafia. Heat - one of the last successfull action drama films of Deniro before Casino in 1995. And Wag the Dog-although different from his other films proves to be a winner with Dustin Hoffman as co-star and should be enjoyed by all fans of Deniro. If you are a Deniro fan then I definitely reccomend this collection.
Rating: Summary: Don't get me wrong Review: Don't get me wrong I love De Niro, infact he is probably my fav. actor to watch. But to call this T H E De Niro collection is not right. So many great movies are left out. What about The dear Hunter. Also Taxi Driver!! Taxi Driver is possibly De Niro's best performance ever. And where is the classic Raging Bull!!. Well if you can get past the annoyence of these great movies being left out, then I'm sure you will enjoy the other movies in the collection which are indeed good. It's just annoying these great movies arn't recognized or in the collection.
Rating: Summary: Disappointed Review: For such a great actor, I expected to see his best films-not a collection of his so-so films. The movies are good, but it's a huge diappointment to true De Niro fans.
Rating: Summary: A Decent Compilation Review: I am a very big Robert De Niro fan. This has some of his greatest roles, but I strongly think that they should have replaced the Bronx Tale with Taxi Driver. Robert De Niro is one of the greatest actors to ever grace the screen, this collection shows us why.

Rating: Summary: Reasons why some are left out Review: I can't begin to think that others don't bother to realize that the reason this collection is available with these titles is because Warner Bros. produced all five titles. The reason why other titles is because (a) they were produced by another studio [e.g. Cape Fear, Universal; The Untouchables, Paramount, etc, or (b) they are part of a series that are already in their own boxed set [e.g. The Godfather], or both reasons. I think that all of these movies are good when looked at by themselves, not as a whole. This is because Wag the Dog and Analyze This are comedies, while GoodFellas, A Bronx Tale and Heat are all crime dramas.
Rating: Summary: Choices could have been better! Review: I only agree with 2 movies on this set. "Analyze This" & "Goodfellows", it would have been better if "Once Upon A Time in America" were included. They could have left out the rest, I'm sure glad they didn't add Rocky & Bullwinkle to this set. He is a great actor, and the choices could have been better, for that reason I give it 2 stars....
