CAPE FEAR (1991 - R)

Scorsese's remake of the classic thriller simultaneously pays homage to its precedent while innovatively bringing to life a renovated and unique masterpiece.

The cast includes: Robert De Niro, Nick Nolte, Jessica Lange, and Juliette Lewis.

Written by: John D. MacDonald (novel) and Wesley Strick (screenplay).

Directed by: Martin Scorsese.
