...past two Nightmares the tone has turned more facetious, the special effects toward the shoestring spectacular. Freddy now delivers double entendres like a James Bond boogeyman and devises custom-made tortures like the wardens of Room 101 in 1984. But he still represents the thing teens love to hate: Dad. "Freddy is the most ruthless primal father," says Craven. "The adult who wants to slash down the next generation." No keys to the car, Son.

In Mean Streets and Raging Bull, The King of Comedy and The Color of Money, he has made his own kind of buddy movie. Two men are bound by love or hate; one must betray the other and thereby help certify his mission. In the Nikos Kazantzakis novel and Paul Schrader's script, Scorsese has found a story vibrant with melodrama and metaphor. This Jesus (Willem Dafoe) is not God born as man. He is a man who discovers -- or invents...
