Cape Fear (1991)

Classic films never call for remakes, but when they do, nobody does it better than Marty. Cape Fear is one of his greats. Even after entering a new era in his career following GoodFellas, Cape Fear harkens back to the days of Taxi Driver, in an equally bone-chilling and psychotic performance by Robert DeNiro. It's a near perfect, old Hollywood style psycho-thriller. Other than DeNiro, it is the cinematography, the editing and the music that makes the picture come alive. It has all the grit and cynicism of a Scorsese picture, with the big production values of a Spielberg picture.
