BRIEF THOUGHTS: Silence of the Lambs
Director: Jonathan Demme
Starring: Jodie Foster, Anthony Hopkins
Plot: An FBI agent must obtain the aid of Hannibal Lecter in order to track down another madman.
Thoughts: Yes, this and Red Dragon have essentially the same plots. Does it matter? No. This film adaptation came before the other, and ended up winning 5 Oscars. Hopkins is Hannibal, and the result is chilling. There's a reason this is considered one of the most suspenseful films of all time - it is. Even though I've seen it multiple times, there are certain moments that never cease to make my hair stand up on end. Lecter is arguably the best villain in film history, and this is one of the few timeless suspense classics. Superb.
