Where to even get started on Joe Pesci. The man is one of the more mysterious actors around. This Newark, New Jersey native took an eight year hiatus from acting from the years of 1998 to 2006, only ro film one movie, then take another four year break. It would seem that Pesci is in a place in his life where he only does movies that he deems worthy.
This article will highlight some of the best Joe Pesci movies of his career.
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.
In Goodfellas, Joe Pesci plays the part of Tommy DeVito, a gangster in the truest sense of the word. This has to be one of the best mafia movies of all time, and any time it is on television, I feel the need to watch it in its entirety.
One movie that must be mentioned when talking about movies that Pesci has starred in is Casino. Oh man, this has to be the best we have ever seen him. This is as good a villain as they come and it is amazing he did not get nominated for this role.
Another exceptionally great movie starring Joe Pesci is My Cousin Vinny. This movie nabbed Marisa Tomei the 1993 Academy Award for Best Actress in a Supporting Role. If you have never seen this movie, put it on the list.
One other fantastic Pesci film that is worthy of discussion is The Good Shepherd. For one reason or another, this movie never got the critical acclaim it deserved. Maybe it was because it was released on a smaller scale, but I certainly enjoyed this movie.
Hopefully there is at least one movie on this epic list of Joe Pesci films that you have yet to see.
