I saw Thief last night, very good film and the ending was excellent ...........

You should probably spoiler that.

Sorry, I should have written my post better, it was the first film they shared an actual scene with. I'm not sure about the coffee shop scene like you said, it could have been done individually but the last scene, hand in hand they were definitely together. I'd say they were together for the coffee shop scene though, simply because they would feed of each other in that moment, and the over the shoulder shots were to capture both their reactions individually and spliced together later. Godfather Part 2, as far as I recollect, they didn't meet each other as their parts were set in different eras and filmed in different countries.

To back this up.

Quoted from wiki:

The famous Pacino-De Niro conversation takes place and was filmed on-location at Kate Mantilini, on Wilshire Blvd. in Hollywood. The two sat at table #71, which diners may request if the restaurant is not too busy. A large picture from the scene is over the entrance to the restaurant.

Also another thing that I found interesting.

Al Pacino's character, while calm at times, instantly becomes volatile and antagonistic during several scenes. Mann's commentary reveals the reason why: he told Pacino that the detective he'd be playing, in an effort to stay "sharp and on the edge" in order to catch criminals, routinely snorted small amounts of cocaine.
