  • i think the answer to question 1 is 8 times. i found an article on the guardian online from october 2008 talking about an upcoming scorsese/de niro film and it says:
    "The film will mark the ninth occasion on which De Niro and Scorsese have worked together, following Mean Streets, Taxi Driver, New York New York, Raging Bull, The King Of Comedy, Goodfellas, Cape Fear and Casino."
    clicky.

    agreed - the question is how many films have they made together, not how many films will they have made together in a couple of years' time. ;)
