1. Tommy DeVito in GOODFELLAS
2. Joey La Motta in RAGING BULL
3. Leo Getz in LETHAL WEAPON 2

6. Nicky Santoro in CASINO
7. Frankie Minaldi in ONCE UPON A TIME IN AMERICA

I was shocked to learn from the IMDb that Pesci's last film was LETHAL WEAPON 4 in 1998! WTF? Has he retired from acting?

The man was one of my favorite actors when I was growing up and gave one of the greatest supporting performances of all time in Goodfellas. I hope he makes a comeback, it's a shame to see a man with such abilities disappear from acting. :(

He is a wonderful actor, always at his best when working with Scorsese and De Niro. All I have is a top 5.

5. JFK
4. Casino
3. My Cousin Vinny
2. Raging Bull
1. Goodfellas

One thing to note, his performances in Goodfellas and Raging Bull are equally incredible, he should have 2 best supporting actor Oscars.

Pesci's great, but Hutton's performance is as well deserved.

While we're at it:

1 Raging Bull
2 Goodfellas
3 Casino
4 Once Upon a Time in America
5 My Cousin Vinny

"I had always guessed he retired ..."

Maybe he's doing penance for Leo Getz

I love every performance that Pesci has ever given. Some of my favorites are from My Cousin Vinni and Goodfellas. I love this guy.

My Cousin Vinney
Casino

My Cousin Vinny is one of my favorite movies and the the funniest movie I have ever seen. But, his performance in Goodfellas is one of the best supporting roles I have ever seen! INCREDIBLE. Wow, seeing that list of all the movies he's done makes me realize how much I love this man.

Oh... how could you forgot "Gone Fishin'" :D

Tommy DeVito - Goodfellas

[Sad man]

Joe Pesci is a great actor. He should have a comeback. Maybe in a Quentin Tarantino film. Anyway, my two personal favourites are My Cousin Vinny and Goodfellas.

Joe Pesci as Joey LaMata in Raging Bull (10/10)

This movie was so great. It defines the downfall of a man's life as he struggles with maintaining his boxing life and his family life. Joe Pesci plays the brother, who loses Jake's trust after he claimed that his wife had sex with him. He still maintains his pissed off, angry SOB attitude. One of my favorite movies.

I haven't seen many Joe Pesci, but I really like

Leo Getz in the Lethal weapon 2 and 4
Tommy DeVito in GoodFellas

[Kidsilk]

Goodfellas, without a doubt.
