When Hannibal Met Clarice

Pros Great performances by Foster and Hopkins, directing by Demme, thrilling, exciting,...
Cons My god that Chilton guy is greasy.
Recommended it? Yes

It’s always the trannies, isn’t it?  The Silence Of The Lambs hits home for me a bit more than for most people, but certain subject matter is, as the man says, “incidental”.  It feels like a movie I grew up with, although I didn’t first watch it until 10... Read full review »

Based on the Thomas Harris novel of the same name, Silence of the Lambs, is the landmark psychological horror film of the 1990s with a fish-out-of-water new FBI agent, Clarice Starling (Jodie Foster), obtaining help from a psychopath (Hannibal Lecter, played by Sir Anthony Hopkins) in order to...

Silence of the Lambs: Motion Picture's "Mona Lisa"

byeditepes Oct 25, 2009
16 Helpfuls 17 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Acting, Screenplay, Directing, Production, Sound, Filming, all brilliant.
Cons Jodie Foster did not reprise her role in Hannibal, the follow-up.
Recommended it? Yes

Silence of the Lambs could be one considered one of the most sophisticated, refined, and perfectly composed motion pictures of all time. It is scary but not a horror, filled with crime but not a crime movie, and action-packed but not an action flick. Thriller is the perfect genre for it, and... Read full review »

Silence of the Lambs is another one of those films that I have been meaning to see and review for a long while.  Winning the Oscar for Best Picture (among four other Oscars it took home), I remember first hearing about the film when looking through Microsoft's Cinemania program back in the mid-90s...

Pros The perfect movie, plain and simple.
Cons Nothing.

There are few perfect movies made in this world. Some movies work well with one group and some with another. But for the most part, movies are pretty much average to slightly above, enjoyed but forgotten or tossed aside for the next big thing. The perfect movie is rare indeed. When I try to think...

"I ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice chianti." - Possibly the most quoted line from Silence of the Lambs. Silence of the Lambs is, in my opinion, one of the greatest movies of all time.

"Silence of the Lambs" was the first movie I ever bought for myself… strange the things I remember… Some consider "Manhunter" to be the best serial killer movie, but SOTL gets my vote. It's spooky, in a darkness-of-human-nature kind of way, disturbing, and fascinating. I guess you could say... Read full review »

Silence of the Lambs will be remembered as one of the best modern day classic horror film. It won many academy awards and critical praise.

This film reminds me of what a thriller is supposed to be. The Silence of the Lambs is Jonathan Demme's 1991 Oscar-winning adaptation of the Thomas Harris novel about a female FBI agent whose best hope of tracking a serial killer is to get lessons from another.

After the Shining, I was kind of on a horror frenzy. I could not watch enough of them. This film was the climax of my obsession. After it, I've never seen a horror film as good. Saw excused.

Everyone says that this is one of the best movies of all time. "A gem! This is SOOO scary", is what people say. So when I popped this into my VCR I was looking for a good thrill. But I would have seen more action watching the "are you my daddy" tests on Maury.

Ok, let's get some the details out of the way so I can become subjective. Silence of the Lambs is directed by Jonathan Demme, who won the Oscar for his work. He was relatively unknown until this film lifted him to fame. His prior work included several of my personal favorites, including Crazy Mama,... Read full review »

Despite the definitiveness SILENCE OF THE LAMBS is usually touted with, Jonathan Demme's 1991 award-winner wasn't the first of Thomas Harris' Hannibal Lecter books to be filmed. Unfortunately, 1986's brilliant MANHUNTER was passed on by audiences, so the success of 1991's SILENCE makes it the film... Read full review »
