The Fan (1996)

Cast: Robert De Niro (Gil Renard), Wesley Snipes (Bobby Rayburn), Ellen Barkin (Jewel Stern), John Leguizamo (Manny)
For complete cast info, see IMDb's The Fan page.

Considering how many instances of crazy fans have been documented, I think The Fan took a very interesting situation and documented it on film. In this movie, of course, the fan goes way too far, but that's the whole idea of the movie. The cast is amazing and the editing and sound track are wonderful, which helps the suspense. I'm sure you remember the scene from the ad where the baseball is flying right at you. I had some friends who jumped every time they saw the preview and the movie itself does that on a whole new level.

I haven't seen the original, so I can't say how it compares, but as an individual film, I really think The Fan is well worth watching!

Grade: B+
