Nominated for ZERO academy awards. Insanity.

I pity the people who've never seen this masterpiece of a film.

DeNiro looked really cool in this movie

I know everyone is talking about the great acting but what I love about this scene is that these two could have been the closest friends in another life. Both highly principled, just on the opposite sides of the law

Only these two would make a cup of coffee epic

This is one of the single greatest scenes in movie history.

Two tigers in a face off. Neither one is the least bit intimidated by the other. One of the greatest scenes ever.

1990s produced the best movies in Hollywood’s entire history. The shawshank redemption, pulp fiction, reservoir dogs, goodfellas, casino, heat, forrest gump, the green mile, fight club, titanic, jurassic park, matrix, the silence of the lambs, seven, saving private ryan, good will hunting, brave heart, the usual suspects,.... and the list goes on

In their shared GQ interview, Pacino said the filming of this scene was the first time they were really acting together. So no other scenes, no rehearsals, this was the first time they sat face to face. You can really feel the excitement in this scene

"brother... you are going downnnnnn" get the chills when he says that.

In another life, they could have been friends...

Michael Mann was nothing short of genius on this film.

Two men putting their differences aside and an incredible demonstration of principle and discipline.

Both legends in their own right. Both acting in roles where they’re masters at what they do. They’re having a muted and cool conversation, yet the tension is palpable. Amazing.

I remember the main attraction to this film was Robert Deniro and Al Pacino together on screen for the first time and it was well worth the wait

I love both these dudes but Pacino in this movie is just electric, the good guy stressed out of his mind and just flies off the handle at a moments notice, usually a trait for villains. De Niro's character (the likeable villain) is the calm and composed one which is usually the hero's trait. This movie is a masterpiece, criminally underrated!

One of the best scenes ever in one of the best movies ever👌👌👌

DeNiro doesn't directly answer a single question in this scene, like a real criminal. almost everything Pacino says is a question, like a real cop.

About two minutes in, after they've shared some personal info, you can hear the background noise get quieter -- the voices totally muted and the cutlery sounds muffled -- and it only comes back up after the last line. To them, nobody else exists in that restaurant. Plus we keep getting closer to their faces, starting back and over the shoulder and ending up right next to their ears. They start talking about history, find common ground in relationships, then find they both like their abnormal occupations, then share the fears that feed into their dreams. They end looking so regretful that their jobs put them on opposite sides. A scene that wanted to create enemies might push them further apart until they finally walk away. Everything about this scene shows them getting closer to each other... and then it cuts away. They became friends. Then they had to go right back to their cat and mouse game.

This is one of the all time great movie scenes ever shot. No matter how many times I watch this, I feel the hairs on the back of my neck stand every time. EPIC👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

This is the real acting ladies and gentlemen! Masterclass

2:43 de niro says "It's what it is" to pacino in both heat and the irishman

De Niro was in Casino and Heat in 1995. Pretty great year.

“You see me doing thrill seeking liquor store hold-ups with a ‘Born to Lose’ tattoo on my chest?” That’s just golden writing...

DeNiro in "Taxi Driver", Pacino in "Serpico', started it all for me.

What a film and what a scene! Brilliant!!!!

At the end, when De Niro says "maybe we'll never see each other again", you can see in Pacino's eyes he's thinking "No way you're getting away from me. You try and pull another job in L.A., one of us is going down." Wonderful acting.

The best part of this scene is how much both actors understate it. No showy grandstanding or yelling at each other. They play it exactly as they should: 2 professionals who operate on opposite sides of the coin but respect each other nonetheless. And both realize the inevitability that one is going to end up taking the other down.

"EPIC", is all I can say. 2 Veteran actors, MASTER'S in their craft, that scene alone is Worth a Million bucks. Both are Great actors Love their Masculinity and delivery of Bad Asses.

Probably the most timeless movie scene of the 1990s.

2 of best Italian actors ever!

had to come back and watch this scene after watching The Irishman. LEGENDS.

“ you do what you do, I do what I gotta do”. That Scarface came out of Pachino in that line.

I remember watching this in the theatre when it came out. You could hear a pin drop. I don't think people were even breathing during this scene. Two amazing actors in a great movie.

Each one of them just keep stealing the scene from each other. It’s incredible.

Al Pacino is the goat ..... so versatile, always on point. His presence, his voice the way he commands the scenes....there's really no one like him out there. His facial expressions are always different and you can't fault him....ever

I just finished watching the Irishman on Netflix and I couldn’t help but think of this scene. It’s crazy how these legends have gotten so much older. It just reminded me of how time passes by, eventually they won’t be around any longer, but movies like this will live on forever

These two give me goosebumps whenever I watch them on the screen.

Come back to watch this scene every year or so. Just epic.

This movie was amazing. No crazy special Effects no green screen bullshit just a movie done the way Movies should be done.

finally a good quality version of this. i salute you albale

I'll tell you what, Micheals dad looks damn good for his age in this.

I like how they aren't afraid to open up to each other on how flawed their life is. No complex superiority attitude, just two professional gentlemen playing what they're good at who just happens to cross path.

One of the greatest movie scenes of all time. De Niro, Pacino absolute quality 👍

One of the most engaging scenes of any movie, ever. Superb

"Enough time? to do what you wanna do?" The precise moment where Al Pacino totally understands and agree's with the greater place in life these 2 souls find themselves in

The way Pacino says "brother, you're going dowwwwn..." hits foreal.

What a display of masterful acting.... Might be one of the best movies for me ever 👌

Best Scene in the movie...

Toughest dinner date in movie history

The light, the photography, the silence, music playing, the dialogue.. this is a masterpiece inside a masterpiece. I take my hat off Mr Mann.

The absolute pinnacle of acting in the last 25 years. Their characters are so different yet both actors own the role and make you think you are watching these two go at it in real life.

The two best actors of all time PERIOD.

Does it get any better than these two, a masterpiece of a scene!

Derision, admiration, anger, sadness, intimidation and fear expressed through eyes, vocal inflection and facial expression. Two masters of their craft

Absolute legends... I need to watch this movie again.

One of the greastest back and forth dialogues u will ever see in a movie. By two of the 5 greatest actors to ever do it.

Panologist- One who study’s Penology. One who studies the effect of the repression of criminal activities through different societies. The use of punishment through the prison system.

Bravo 👏👏👏👏👏chemistry between the two best of the best! Was there

I can't count the number of times I've watched this movie or this scene yet it's still one of the greatest things I've ever seen in my life.

Easily one of my favorite movies of all times. They don’t make movies like this anymore.

The respect they both show to eachother with the professions they do is brilliantly done

3:01 that look after “neither do i” is my fav part of the whole scene

this scene, this movie is just pure masterpiece

I don't know how many times I watched this movie, I never get tired watching it again and again. A true Masterpiece.

One of the most impactful dialogues in contemporary cinema. This right here is where people who want to become actors, draw their inspirations from

You've got two of the greatest performers ever talking across a table. Two of the greatest on opposite sides face-to-face just talking. Talking, feeling each other out and ultimately coming to understanding about each other and respecting each other. Like the description says "One of the most iconic scene in movie cinema..."

Such a powerful scene. So simple in it's setting, a diner of all places for these two greats to film a scene. You can see that they respect each other on some level. It could've went either way in the end.....

This script has the dialogue so sharp it cuts off your realization it’s just a movie! It’s acted and directed by the dialogue it’s so well done it feels like they are real

The two single greatest actors of all time

This just has to be the greatest scene in movie_history! Both actors in their legend-prime. and then this scene. no one has come close to this since.

What happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object?

I'm gonna be brutally honest, in my opinion. I didn't find one scene in The Irishman with Pacino and De Niro together that was as riveting and captivating as this one scene here in Heat. These two legends are so much in their own element in here, something I thought was missing in The Irishman

The neither do I lines and the slight smiles and admiration for each other is why this is my favorite acting scene of all time

One of the best scenes in the movie !

Anyone with an appreciation for acting you will replay this scene over and over! This still gives me chills almost 30 years later! I remember as a kid I couldn't believe these 2 were on screen together. Michael Mann knows how to cast!!!

I have pondered about them switching roles and saying these lines in their own styles, and the scene in my mind still comes out awesome!

This is the greatest movie scene EVER. Two iconic actors with some of the greatest dialogue ever

the little smirk from pacino at the end. he basically just tightened his jaw muscle a smidge. A+

One of the greatest conversation by two lead actors.

What a great scene; the dialogue. Two individuals on opposite sides of the law, with somewhat mutual respect, yet ready to kill each other without reservation. One of my favorite Michael Mann films.

classic well written scene not only a scene in a script. but 2 unreal hollywood legends

Jimmy Hoffa and frank the Irishman’s first meeting in LA.

My favorite part is when Vincent goes “I pretty much don’t want to do anything else either” and Neil goes “Neither do I”. He lies, Neil-cus in truth he just wants one last score and to run away to Fiji with his girlfriend; he’s only a career criminal cus it’s all he knows-not cus he enjoys it. Vincent, divorced twice, ever eager to grab his gun with its ivory plated handle and rush out to catch bad guys, always out late chasing leads and meeting informants?-he loves his job. He embraces his nature. Neil eventually doesn’t, and you see it at the end when he deviates from his methodical nature and goes after Waingro, which ultimately gets himself killed.

i had coffee with him HALF AN HOUR AGO

Still get chills watching these 2 together.......

Can’t believe this movie is so old. Almost 30 years…the 90s were golden

The things they said without talking. Their eyes screming. " nothing is more powerful to see yourself in eyes of you enemy, in the spirit of your lover, in the voice of your mother" J.R

Anyone come here from The Irishman? And yes I remember waiting 1year &1/2 for this to come out!

One of the best films..and best scenes of the 1990s...

"Don't let yourself get attached anything you are not willing to walk out on in 30 seconds flat if feel the heat around the corner". Strong words everyone should live by.

Truly great actors when paired with brilliant directors, creat pure magic on the silver screen... What we have here is nothing but a timeless classic!!

Al Pacino and Robert De'Niro two of the most brilliant actors of the 20th and 21st century. Right alongside Joe Pesci, Ray Liotta, Frank Vincent and James Gandolfini. Movie and TV entertainment will never be the same when all these guys are gone.

Highly underrated movie. The sound on the shootout scenes is amazing. Also, they should have flipped roles for every scene, making two movies. One when Pacino is the criminal, and De Niro the detective. It would be awesome to see the subtle and not so subtle differences in these two gentlemen doing their arts.

Everytime I see clips from this movie, I get drawn in even if it's for like 3 minutes. Then the clip ends and remember I was watching a clip from a movie... Goddamn what a masterpiece

i was about ten years old when i saw this movie, till this day love it and rolling on with plesure:)

DeNiro and Pacino in: Heat, Righteous Kill, and soon to come out, The Irishman!

90`s are the best and most HardCore Movies of all Cinema History.

Manliest conversation ever!!!

“You lookin to become a penologist”. That part cracks me up every time I watch that scene.
