Joe Pesci's Finest Performances In Years Past

Joe Pesci is one of the most underrated actors of the past few decades

. Maybe that is because he has taken ample time off over the last ten years and has faded from the public spotlight. Not that he was ever one to enjoy the Hollywood fame, but there are very few movies that he has been a part of in recent years.

The following films are what I consider to be the best Joe Pesci films of all time.

The first movie that I will discuss is one of the few sequels that Joe Pesci has starred in, and that film is none other than Home Alone 2: Lost In New York. While the original Home Alone is a true children's classic, I enjoyed the sequel even more. Pesci was hilarious in both these movies.

Another amazing Joe Pesci film was Goodfellas. This just might be my favorite Pesci Scorcese collaboration. It is truly amazing what a great supporting role Joe delivered with this film, and it came as no surprise that he won an Oscar for it.

One movie that is often paired with Goodfellas is Casino. Maybe it is because both films feature Joe Pesci in similar roles as well as Martin Scorsese behind the lens. In either case, both movies are incredible, and I feel like Casino gets a bad rap because it came out after Goodfellas.

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.

Another film that has to be mentioned on any great list of Joe Pesci films is Raging Bull. In my opinion, this very well might be the greatest boxing film of all time. That is saying something, considering most of the Rocky movies, Million Dollar Baby, and Cinderella Man have come out since.

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.
