One of the greatest thrillers of all time,Silence of the Lambs delivers all the chills and thrills to make it a top notch movie in it's genre as it joins other great movies such as Misery,The Shining. It is only the third movie to win the Oscar Grand Slam which consists of Academy Award for Best Picture,Best Actor,Best Actress,Best Director and Best Writing.The only other two movies to accomplish this legendary feat include One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest and It Happened All One Night. Jodie Foster stars as Clarice Starling(her second Oscar winning role) who is a young FBI trainee who is sent to ask Dr Hannibal Lecter(Anthony Hopkins in his best role to date which won him an Academy Award) who is a brilliant psychiatrist and cannibalistic serial killer for advice on catching a serial killer known only as Buffalo Bill.
