Outstanding, even by today's standards

Rating: 10/10 (13 February 2006)

I've seen this film countless times, and it is still riveting each time. There are times that you feel nothing but the deepest sympathy for the protagonist, and other moments when you want nothing more than to see what just might happen to her.
Jodie Foster is a trainee at the headquarters in Washington D.C. for the F.B.I. Clarice Starling (Foster), has been asked to question Dr. Hannibal Lector, a prisoner at an insane isilum for help on a murder case the F.B.I. has been investigating. Hannibal (Hopkins), agrees to help her solve the case, if in return she tell him personal information about herself. The murder that they are investigating is a serial killer who has been kidnapping heavier set woman, in order to skin them. Throughout the course of the film, you will go inside the mind of a psychopath, a serial killer and a woman trying to save her mind from all the chaos that is tangeled in between the story.
I will never get tired of this movie, and it was one of the few out there that not only deserved each and every Oscar that it received, but still a movie that can creep you out even after seeing it a hundred times. It's a classic and will remain that way for a long time to come.
