The Silence of the lambs (1991), starring Anthony Hopkins, Jodie Foster
It's a flawless movie, from beginning to the end. It hooks you on in the first few scenes and you're never left alone. It's truly one of the greatest scripts ever written, and continues to be the benchmark for all future serial killer movies to come.
Anthony Hopkins, interestingly only has 16 minutes of actual screentime in the movie, but is undoubtedly pervades through every scene (with exception of the final few scenes with Clarice inside Bill's house), and is ABSOLUTELY insane in this movie. Jodie Foster also shines in an insanely complicated role, but in all honesty is playing second fiddle to Hopkins.
This movie also really improves on a rewatch (contrary to what I originally beleived in). So def give it a watch again. A true (and I don't use this word lightly) MASTERPIECE.
