The Silence of the Lambs blew me away when I first saw it. I remember leaving the theater after the movie was over, going straight to the book store, and buying a copy of Thomas Harris's novel. I read the whole thing in under 12 hours. And I reckon I still wasn't satisfied, so I went back to the bookstore and bought Harris's other two novels (Red Dragon and Black Sunday, only one of which included the character Hannibal Lecter). It was a rare film that could affect me so much.
