Definitely not his best work, but "Midnight Run" is one of my favorites.

I could be wrong but that was the first time I remember DiNiro being in a comedy, and he was hysterical in it (If King of Comedy was before it that doesn't count because it wasn't a comedy). Midnight Run was really well made, fun and entertaining movie. Charles Grodin was terrific, too. 

 

Other underrated or lesser known ones that were great were Once Upon a Time in America, This Boy's Life, Bronx Tale,

So, so many.  I’m gonna go with Raging Bull by a nose hair over Casino.  Loved him in Meet the Parents too.

Meet the Parents was great. 

 

Goodfellas and Godfather2 he was excellent (of course)

 

I really enjoyed Heat (great cast)

Not his best performance, but the chemistry between him and Grodin was excellent, and made the movie.

 

Including an all time great exchange:

 

Grodin: Jack, you're a grown man, you have control over your own words.

DeNiro: You're right, I do have control over my own words. And here come two for you: STFU!

 

I always wondered whether any of that was ad-libbed.
