Cape Fear
This 1991 remake of the unsettling 1962 thriller starring Gregory Peck and Robert Mitchum takes on an even more disturbing dimension under the direction of Martin Scorsese. Robert De Niro assumes Mitchum’s role as the grinning sociopath Max Cady and Nick Nolte takes over for Peck as the milquetoast lawyer trapped in a deadly game of cat and mouse. Illeana Douglas shines as the doomed bar crawler who decides to sidle up to the appalling Cady.
