WATCH ALONG: Cape Fear
Added 2021-06-24 14:00:01 +0000 UTCTJ did request that I watch the original from 1962 so if you'd like to watch along - it looks likes it's only on amazon prime or on YouTube! ๐

Oh Ashleigh, you need to see Robert Mitchum in Night of the Hunter. Seven years before this one (1955), also black and white, powerful, and none of the corny 60s acting, you just watch. I went to film school, I thought I had seen everything, and when I watched it I was dumbfounded that I had never heard of it before. It is wild, it is powerful, it will shake you up.

2021-06-25 17:46:55 +0000 UTCafter the cry from the last movie, I would have recommended the The Naked Gun. a funny movie to cheer up too. Ohh Gregory Peck has such a cool voice.

2021-06-25 01:09:47 +0000 UTCI think there will always be a comparison as long as there are remakes and Ive always liked Gregory Peck. Sorry but Nick Nolte just feels so....out of place in this movie.

2021-06-25 00:27:27 +0000 UTCReally, you think the acting here is unwatchable when compared to De Niro going full ham in the remake? Like whichever one you want, but be fair in your comparisons.

2021-06-24 20:45:52 +0000 UTCNever seen this original version and definitely enjoyed getting the opportunity to compare, as I have seen the 1991 version a couple of times. I like that these suggestions get me to build upon my own film experience through Ashleighโs channel ๐ค๐

2021-06-24 20:45:39 +0000 UTCOh dear, I think someone had their nostalgia glasses on when they recommended this one. I found the acting to be almost unwatchable in some scenes. Recommending this version over the remake, thus depriving both Ashleigh and her audience of Jessica Lange's outstanding performance, seems like little more than a cruel joke to me.

2021-06-24 15:58:56 +0000 UTCI haven't had a chance to watch yet, but I will say that as thrillers with Robert Mitchum as the bad guy go, I think 1955's Night of the Hunter is outstanding.
