How often did i watch this Movie ?! 3 Times ? 10 Times?! Anyway, This Movie is one of my Top 10 of all Time Movies.

If one Movie deserve a 10 of 10 (besides Back to the Future, Se7en, The Shawshank Redemption, Memeto and the Godfather), it's this one !

One has to rate this film conidering the date it was released in and the impact it had over all the films that have come after it and tried to copy it's success. Also, no matter how many times and how hard they've tried, It hasn't been possible to make a decent sequel...

I have no idea why I had never watched this until now, but I feel like such a fool for it.

There are very few films in this world that I hold to be singularly perfect. The Godfather, Jaws, and Silence of the Lambs. Like those films, The Silence of the Lambs achieves a perfection so masterful and engaging that I would not sacrifice even a single frame or line of dialogue.

Rewatched it last night and it is still just as captivating now as it was when I was watching Ted Levine tuck his junk between his legs on the big screen back in '91.

To this day, I STILL can't listen to "Goodbye Horses". Thanks, Demme.

One of the best thrillers/horror movies ever in my opinion. Just overall really well done from the acting to the execution of the plot points. The whole story about a serial killer being a patient of a serial killer is such an interesting idea and it makes for an intriguing plot within a plot. This film certainly keeps you on the edge of your seat as well as making you think you know where going to happen just to deter you.
