He has 135 acting, 39 producing, and 2 directed credits listed on the IMDB, but these are the gayest, with gay characters, buddy-bonding subtexts, beefcake, or nudity.
1. Bloody Mama (1970). The 27-year old's first nude scene in an anti-Establishment tale of Ma Barker and her crime family. Mama gives the squaling Lloyd a bath, and his penis pops out.
3. 1900 (1976): buddy-bonding between two Italian boys, one rich, one poor (De Niro, Gerard Depardieu). Their three-way encounter with a woman features frontal nudity.
There's also a butt shot
6. The Deer Hunter (1978): Depressed Vietnam War vets. A distant nude shot.
7. Raging Bull (1980): A self-destructive boxer. Beefcake.
10. We're No Angels (1989): Escaped cons De Niro and Sean Penn hide out as priests. They don't stay together, although Sean's character can be read as gay.
12. Mary Shelley's Frankenstein (1994): Heterosexist version with Frankie(Kenneth Branaugh) and the Creature (De Niro) both looking for the Loves of their Life.
13. Flawless (1999): Homophobic cop moves in next door to a drag queen.
I ran out of space, but I have to mention Dirty Grandpa (2016), top photo, reputedly a horrible movie in which De Niro as Zac Efron's Grandpa tries to demonstrate how racist and homophobic he is. But there's a gay character and some beefcake, plus a stunt cock in Zac's face.

Deniro looks very hot in " The Deer Hunter" He playes Mike who has an obvious homoerotic relationship with his best best friend Nick played by Christopher Walken- to such a degree that I really expected them to run into Jake and Enis on "Brokeback Mountain"
ReplyDeleteI saw it a long time ago, but none of the plot has remained with me. Is that the one with the vet who uses a wheelchair?
DeleteIts the one about the group of blue collar men who end in Vietnam in the famous scene DeNiro goes back to get Christopher Walken who makes money by playing Russian Roulette
DeleteOk, maybe I didn't see it. Nazarenes didn't believe in going to movies, so I saw almost nothing in a movie theater untll college.
