The Silence of the Lambs
Clarice Starling is a top student at the FBI's training academy. Jack Crawford wants Clarice to interview Dr. Hannibal Lecter, a brilliant psychiatrist who is also a violent psychopath, serving life behind bars for various acts of murder and cannibalism. Crawford believes that Lecter may have insight into a case and that Starling, as an attractive young woman, may be just the bait to draw him out.

Absolutely Brilliant!
As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.
Blistering performances.
The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.
This is truly an amazing movie. I've seen it over a dozen times. Fantastic performance by Anthony. It's a classic ten out of ten.
Anthony Hopkins and Jodie Foster are absolutely perfect. A must be seen.
The plot of Silence of the Lambs is something special. The layers to all developments as well as the depth of themes in each interaction make the book and movie exceptional. Foster and Hopkins do phenomenal jobs in their roles, and it is a well-directed movie. I don't think it's at all a scary movie or really thrilling, aside from the climactic scene in Gumb's house, but perhaps that's because I knew the plot from the book. Intricate and beautifully woven, The Silence of the Lambs is a brilliant, carefully crafted movie that effectively demonstrates the enormous strengths of the book.
My absolute favourite film of all time. Whilst I doubt that there are any people left who haven't seen this film, this has all the ingredients of how a good psychological thriller is made.Of course there is Anthony Hopkins, sinister? Intellectual performance of Dr. Hannibal Lector, but easily forgotten is Ted Levine's Buffalo Bill.The games, the torments add to this being there at the top, even though it is aging now
