Me watching 90s cape fear that's not even good to see if my mom will make fun of it with me not even knowing Robert Mitchum caught his sight and is about to ruin my 2024:

My only hypothesis why Robert Mitchum decided to haunt me was because he saw me showing my mom the 90s cape fear and was bored and got with me because I got that Latino psychic senses

My ultimate film watchlist (1960s-1970s)

1930s-1940s | 1950s | 1980s | 1990s | 2000s | 2010s

Welcome to part three of my personal ultimate film watchlist! For an explanation, please see part one listed under the 1930s-1940s tab. Otherwise, let's get on with the list!

To preface, this is probably going to be one of the shorter installments in this series, solely because some years release banger after banger, and others end with little excitement in the industry. I'm sure there were reasons for this outside of just the studios. I'm also no well-versed, nor entirely interested in films from these decades, as this is when both soft-core, and full-on pornography became a lot more common. There are some suspicious films in this list that I want to watch primarily for the historical context it provides to the era, however there's no guarantee I'll finish them. Some film discriptions are also very vague during this era, so be sure to look up reviews before watching lesser-known films!

Cape Fear (1962)

Gregory Peck, who produced the film, didn't like the original novel's title, "The Executioners." He chose the name by looking at a map of the U.S. until he happened to come upon Cape Fear in North Carolina.

god. 1991 Cape Fear is very good (stylistically its excellent, one of my fav De Niro performances) but like, the 1962 version has it beat in so many ways. The commentary on how the law fails victims of stalking. How it fails women. How being a woman in the 60s was a death sentence if a man was after you, and no women were safe from it, not the “promiscuous” unmarried woman, not the middle class wife, not even the twelve year old girl. i’ve watched a lot of noir and i’ve never seen one be quite as empathetic to its female characters as cape fear was.
