Only "non-De Niro typecast" movie I can think of.
(The character he plays Analyze This always struck me as a comedy parody of his tough guy roles...Same thing with the role he played in Meet the Parents)

Re: Name That Movie!
I think by the clues alone I could figure out this one. But I've never seen it. Or for that matter, even heard of it until I looked at a list of DeNiro films to try to see if I remembered anything he wasn't playing his typecast role, and pretty much did a pratfall into a certain film...
Death is Nature's way of telling you to slow down.
Re: Name That Movie!
Here's another quote:
Also it's another black comedy, (No wes, it isn't a Wayans Brothers or "Barbershop" movie)A: I'm gonna work 50 times harder, and I'm gonna be 50 times more famous than you.
B: Then you're gonna have idiots like you plaguing your life!
It also had a well-known director who directed DeNiro in some other much better-known films...
Name That Movie!
I think DeNiro had a cameo in this as Giles, the butler:A: I'm gonna work 50 times harder, and I'm gonna be 50 times more famous than you...

Getting one word right won't do it Ray...(there's another clue)
Okay, this doesn't seem to be going real well...(And apparently Big RR isn't around; I'd be surprised if he hasn't seen this one)
Here's a very extensive quote:
Okay, this doesn't seem to be going real well...(And apparently Big RR isn't around; I'd be surprised if he hasn't seen this one)
Here's a very extensive quote:
So if nobody gets it today, then once again I will give the answer and put up something new that will be considerably less challenging...I was born in Clifton, New Jersey... which was not at that time a federal offense. Is there anyone here from Clifton? Oh, good. We can all relax now. I'd like to begin by saying... my parents were too poor to afford me a childhood. But the fact is that... no one is allowed to be too poor in Clifton. Once you fall below a certain level... they exile you to Passaic.
My parents did put the first two down payments on my childhood. Don't get me wrong, but they did also return me to the hospital as defective. But, like everyone else I grew up in large part thanks to my mother. If she were only here today... I'd say, "Hey, ma, what are you doing here? You've been dead for nine years!"
But seriously, you should've seen my mother. She was wonderful. Blonde, beautiful, intelligent, alcoholic. We used to drink milk together after school. Mine was homogenized. Hers was loaded. Once they picked her up for speeding. They clocked her doing 55. All right, but in our garage? And when they tested her... they found out that her alcohol had 2% blood.

Never saw either, I just remember the commercials/promos and it wasn't featured as a Godfather/Goodfellas/Casino type movie.(The character he plays Analyze This always struck me as a comedy parody of his tough guy roles...Same thing with the role he played in Meet the Parents)
Didn't Billy Crystal play the shrink?

Re: Name That Movie!
For Christianity, by identifying truth with faith, must teach-and, properly understood, does teach-that any interference with the truth is immoral. A Christian with faith has nothing to fear from the facts
Re: Name That Movie!
Okay, well time to pull the plug on this one:
"The King Of Comedy"
Re the clues:
The actor I referred to that I said I was sure everybody knows (whether they want to or not) is Jerry Lewis...(in my opinion the finest performance of Lewis' career...he plays a stuck on himself arrogant celebrity, so it didn't really require much acting on his part; he just basically plays himself...)
The actress that I said probably most people here are familiar with is Sandra Bernhard ...
And the director that I said had directed DeNiro in some better known films is of course Martin Scorsese...
Four stars...
Lord Jim Bob says check it out...
"The King Of Comedy"
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0085794/Rupert Pupkin is obsessed with becoming a comedy great. However, when he confronts his idol, talk show host Jerry Langford, with a plea to perform on the Jerry's show, he is only given the run-around. He does not give up, however, but persists in stalking Jerry until he gets what he wants. Eventually he must team up with his psychotic Langford-obsessed friend Masha to kidnap the talk show host in hopes of finally getting to perform his stand-up routine.

Re: Name That Movie!
No, as I said, I'm going to go with something a little easier...
Okay Film Fans, put your Thinking Caps on...
Some quotes:
The thing everybody in this movie is looking for is a statue of a FALCON from MALTA
Okay Film Fans, put your Thinking Caps on...
Some quotes:
Kasper Gutman: I couldn't be fonder of you if you were my own son. But, well, if you lose a son, it's possible to get another. There's only one Maltese Falcon.
Non quote clue:Detective Tom Polhaus: [picks up the falcon] Heavy. What is it?
Sam Spade: The, uh, stuff that dreams are made of.
Detective Tom Polhaus: Huh?
The thing everybody in this movie is looking for is a statue of a FALCON from MALTA
