Based on a novel of the same nam... read more

"Good to know that people think there are mad geniuses who can escape giant groups of police men and eat out people's livers roaming the streets. Total realism."

" The Silence of the Lambs is a case in point. I think it gives the impression of being about something, but what it basically gives you is a couple of good thrills and spills and a great monster.- Terry Gilliam"

Alternate Best Picture Winners (1927-Today) (171 movies items)

"A well-made crime film that is the closest thing to an actual horror film winning Best Picture. Very well-acted, well written, and well executed. And in a year featuring Beauty and the Beast and JFK, this is one of the most justifiable Oscar upsets of all time (in fact, actually having become the 3rd film to win the Big 5)."
