Cape Fear (1962) vs. Cape Fear (1991)

[JimmyMecks 49]

Original vs. remake. I wonder where the majority of people (especially a Gen-X/Millienial skewing community like this one) would fall.

 

For added bonus, it can be a triple versus: Cape Fear vs. Cape Fear vs. Cape Feare!

Cape Fear vs Fear vs Primal Fear vs Wages of Fear vs Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas...

 

I'm sorry.

Pretty sure remake would take this one. I'd vote that way for sure. Although if the remake were a solo episode, I'd be hesitant just because I wonder how many Scorcese/DeNiro we NEED in the Canon. It's an excellent movie, they're ALL excellent movies. But I feel like if the project of the Canon is to make a viewing list for people who want to know about film, I wouldn't show them 5 movies from the same actor/director combo.

This. I like both Capes Fear, but I don't believe either are particularly canon-worthy. I'd love to hear the arguments.

But seriously, how about Spoorlos/The Vanishing vs Cape Fear?
