Maple's First Time Watching "Silence of the Lambs" | An Unexpected Love for a Classic Thriller 

Yes. I concur. She and Hopkins won an Oscar each for this one. 18:36 That scene... It's great!

Not to mention she nailed her character's accent.

And she does it all mostly low-key, without a lot of hysterical screaming and eye-rolling.

She should definitely be on that list of strong women in movies alongside Ripley and Connor.

Accused and Taxi Driver she's incredible.

Somehow he made this movie, stop making sense, and rachel getting married, all classics

"Rachel Getting Married" is so good

There's a little trick he uses in a lot of the scenes with Hopkins and Foster when they are interacting. Hopkins is always shot close up and slightly lower, while Foster is shot from a distance and slightly higher. This gives the subconscious idea that he's larger than her and more domineering.

True, but also check out 1985's Manhunter. Directed by Michael Mann and starring Brian Cox as Hannibal. He was the first Hannibal Lector before Anthony Hopkins.

Her face at "I can smell your 🐈" 🤣🤣🤣

​@@LordVolkov🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂

Finally getting to watch this! 🤣😂 Miggs didnt disappoint! 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣🤣😂🤣😂

Lecter:

It was her request actually :D

"He's done for." Perhaps well-done for? MWA-HA-HA.

It's literally because of this scene and Ted Bundy that guys who "need help" are immediately suspect.

Maybe it's because Ted Bundy was local(attended my HS), it always seemed to me like people knew about this type of ruse used in abduction. He actually lured a friend of my older sister halfway to his car at the Tacoma Mall before she felt something wasn't right. And then we had the Green River Killer going on for years and years locally. The movie though is definitely before the true crime craze that's around today.

Then there’s Rodney Alcala, who was a contestant on an episode of _The Dating Game,_ and won. Fortunately, the woman on that episode (Cheryl Bradshaw) ended up getting a weird feeling about him, and did not go on the date.

Do you actually believe this?

I'd say Jodie Foster has been on the map since her Oscar nomination for Taxi Driver (1976) and certainly since winning the Oscar for The Accused (1987), even aside from the whole John Hinkley debacle.

@@shallowgal462 All true.

Sort of like how Darth Vader only had just over 9 minutes in Episode IV. I know, it’s hardly fair, though. After all, Vader had access to Force mind tricks, while Lecter could only use non-magical mind tricks. 😉

Mad Mikkelsen was a much better Hannibal imo.

The 16 minute figure is a myth. What makes it believable, other than having reputable sites blindly repeat it without checking, is that Hannibal is completely absent for extended periods of the movie twice, once for almost 20 minutes and another for over 25 minutes. Also his first appearance isn't until almost 12 minutes in. The ten scenes he's in counting from when he's first seen/heard till he's last seen/heard in each actually add up to 34 minutes, 54 seconds (not counting the end credits sequence). Here's the breakdown from my DVD giving start - end timestamps = duration (running total): 11:55 - 18:38 = 6:43 (6:43) "May I see your credentials?" 26:54 - 30:20 = 3:26 (10:09) "Your bleeding has stopped." 50:03 - 55:20 = 5:17 (15:26) "Quid pro quo" 57:17 - 58:20 = 1:03 (16:29) "His first name is Louis" 58:49 - 1:02:10 = 3:21 (19:50) "Where will it tickle you?" 1:04:03 - 1:10:45 = 6:42 (26:32) "Good evening, Clarice." 1:11:23 - 1:15:10 = 3:47 (30:19) "Mind the drawings please." 1:16:52 - 1:19:31 = 2:39 (32:58) "Talk to him!" 1:21:13 - 1:21:33 = 0:20 (33:18) "Pulse 84." 1:47:26 - 1:49:02 = 1:36 (34:54) "I'm having an old friend for dinner."

Agreed. Anyone who has seen him as Stottlemeyer on Monk but never as Buffalo Bill will be shocked by how frightening and chilling his performance in the film was.

He did have one episode in which he was without his mustache and he did look almost like a slightly older version of Buffalo Bill.

Same 😂

He also played Bosko in Michael Mann's "Heat".

And the part with the mask hones in how so much of it was the eyes. What a performance!

both of them got an Oscar for their performance in the movie , so i guess she got more than flowers

The two best acted scenes in cinema history, IMO, are the scene where she's telling Lecter about the lambs. And the scene with Donny Wahlberg from The 6th Sense.

Great scenes but that 6th sense one isn't even the best of that movie.

@alyberop1 IMO means In My Opinion

Love the way you worded that. A cannibal being the only man who doesn't treat Clarice like "a piece of meat." Well done.

I thought it might have just been that she wasn’t a fan of heavy metal. Hopkins is.

Kiss the Girls, Copycat as well

​@@OneArmedRetroGamerCopycat is in need of reactions. Fantastic cast.

@@OneArmedRetroGamer yep

“What’s in the box man???”

@@Fmanzo10 lol one of the greatest endings ever

Especially see MANHUNTER (1986) which was the first Hannibal film. It was remade into RED DRAGON but both films are worthy of watching.

Thank you. I'm more inclined to Manhunter than Red Dragon. Manhunter was more darker and edgier than the slightly slick Hollywood remake.

the best of the Red Dragon movies is *_Manhunter_* from '80s starring William Petersen (CSI tv show).. it is directed by Michael Mann of _Miami Vice_ in the '80s

..Does a wink counts? x)

@@MidnightHowling Survey says,"Hell Yes it does."

@@ClichéGuevara-2814 So depending on the drink choice, you might be slightly buzzed at the end of this. X)

@@MidnightHowling I do bong hits, instead. But...whatever blows your hair back is an acceptable alternative. Drinking Game is just cultural shorthand.

@@ClichéGuevara-2814 To each his/her own, but, yeah, simpler to say "drink" nowadays. ;)

I love that movie so much. Such a good adaption

Do you actually believe neither of these women have never seen a movie in their life? seriously... "first time watching" do they look like they're Amish or North Korean? i'll never understand this shite
