The Silence of the Lambs
The 1991 film "The Silence of the Lambs", starring Anthony Hopkins as Lecter, was a critical and commercial success, winning five Academy Awards. Hopkins was the only major member of the "Silence of the Lambs" team to return for the 2001 sequel, "Hannibal"; it was also a commercial success, but received less positive reviews. Both films were adapted from novels by Thomas Harris.
