Covet this film, and you will see it everyday...

Rating: 10/10 (4 October 1998)

"Silence of the Lambs" will never be silenced. It easily ranks among the best movies of the 90's. Anthony Hopkins steals the show here, even though he is not the serial killer at large. He manages to be menacing yet charming at the same time, which is often a quality of our most infamous serial killers. Jonathan Demme did an excellent job directing this move, and rightfully received an Oscar reward for best director. He kept everything going at just the right pace and allowed enough time for character study to flavor the film further. "Silence of the Lambs" is loaded with memorable scenes; my favorite one is where Jodie Foster has to feel her way around the dark while the killer (wearing night-vision goggles) just toys with her for a while. Since "we covet what we see everyday," try not to give in to the temptation of seeing "Silence of the Lambs" everyday as there is no telling what might happen then...
