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.
This article will highlight some of the best Joe Pesci movies of his career.
One movie that has to be mentioned when discussing the best Joe Pesci films is Home Alone. The man tends to be driven more toward serious and dramatic films, but the casting crew knocked it out of the park when they selected Pesci for this comedic role.
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.
While he may not have been the starring role, one movie that I certainly enjoyed featuring Joe Pesci was A Bronx Tale. This film reunited the duo of Pesci and De Niro, and it would not be the last time they would star in a film together.
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 other fantastic Pesci film that is worthy of discussion is The Good Shepherd. For one reason or another, this movie never got the critical acclaim it deserved. Maybe it was because it was released on a smaller scale, but I certainly enjoyed this movie.
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.
