Silence of the Lambs

Silence of the Lambs is on TV today and it reminds me of everything that horror movies now are not. Clever, well-written, well-acted and directed. Thomas Harris wrote a great book, the movie did its best to interpret his work on the big screen. The suspense makes your stomach want to empty its contents out of your mouth. It doesn't pull punches in the realism department. If you have never seen this movie, do it immediately because you will never find a better performance than Anthony Hopkins as Hannibal Lector. A fine piece of cinema, through and through. What other thriller garnered Best Picture at the Oscars?
