Almost two decades of DeNiro:
1997--Jackie Brown, Wag the Dog, Cop Land (!!!Three very good movies, I'd say)
1998- Ronin, Great Expectations (respectable quality)
Then what happened?
99/00 - Analyze This, Flawless, The Adventures of Rocky & Bullwinkle, Men of Honor, Meet the Parents (a mix of having fun and bad scripts)
01 - 15 Minutes, The Score (more bad scripts, this time masculine genre stuff)
And that's been his career since. Having fun and lame cop/crime films. With maybe Silver Linings an exception.
Seriously, what happened? Does he just suck at picking scripts? I don't think he's ever bad (sometimes coasting, but not "bad" exactly) but most of the movies he picks seem like such a waste of time to make.
