The Silence of the Lambs
Overview
A young FBI trainee needs help catching a serial killer, so she interviews the smartest monster alive: Hannibal Lecter, psychiatrist, cannibal, charmer. Jodie Foster's Clarice vs. Anthony Hopkins' Lecter is maybe the greatest acting duel in film history — every scene between them crackles. Jonathan Demme shot it like a horror film wearing a thriller's clothes. Won all five big Oscars. Still unmatched.
