Robert De Niro, arguably one of the greatest actors ever to grace the silver screen, said he would like to rewatch the more than 100 films he has starred in.

Robert De Niro Wants To Put on a "Festival" of His Films
The 83-year-old actor talked about his rewatch idea with Amy Poehler during an interview on her Good Hang podcast. After humorously sharing her "hot take" that De Niro is "the best actor of our generation," she asked whether he had ever rewatched his extensive body of work.
"No, but I've always been wanting to watch all the movies I did, from the latest one all the way down or the other way, the earliest ones," he said to Poehler. "Just go through them all... It's easier said than done."
De Niro admitted the rewatch would be quite the undertaking, but he saw the appeal.
"That would be like your own festival," shared Poehler.
"I wasn't sure," he replied. "But there's no downside to doing that."
He added, "I wanted to get a sense of what I've done and where I could go, what's missing, in that I can make a choice of something different."
De Niro Is Also a Father
Of course, De Niro is keeping busy. He'll star in another sequel to Meet the Parents later this year, titled Focker-in-Law. He also has seven children, including his youngest, Gia Virginia Chen-De Niro, who turned 3 this year.
Last year, he spoke about being a father. He used to change Gia's diapers. Now he spends his mornings bonding with her.
"I spend my mornings watching Ms. Rachel with her, and I give her her bottle," he shared at the time.
It's hard to imagine someone like De Niro, who made his name collaborating with Martin Scorsese on films like Goodfellas and Taxi Driver. But in later years, he has explored his comedic side with films like The Intern and The War with Grandpa.
