When you think of Robert De Niro, you probably picture him staring someone down with that iconic glare, saying something unforgettable, and maybe breaking a few bones in the process. He’s the guy from Goodfellas, Raging Bull, Casino, a walking masterclass in intensity, grit, and straight-up legendary acting.

But here’s the thing, De Niro’s career is so much more than mob bosses and crime sagas. The man has been in over a hundred films, and hidden between those Oscar-drenched roles are movies that barely made a blip on the awards radar but absolutely deserve your attention. Some are soft, some are strange, and some are surprisingly wholesome.

These aren’t just forgotten roles. They are hidden gems that remind us why De Niro is more than just his “you talkin’ to me?” bravado. So, if you think you’ve seen every shade of De Niro… think again.
