You should watch Silence of the Lambs by jeep 12/24/2007, 10:38pm PST

In a possibly rare twist, your family is right.

Zseni you should probably watch this movie. Horror movies are pretty stupid and torture porn movies are extra stupid, but this movie isn't very gory and except for the spoiler above there weren't a lot of visual gimmicks to make you jump. It definitely creeps people out and it's a testament to the quality of the film that people remember it as being way more over the top visually than it really was, but in essence it is a police procedural, in that era it was really only comparable to a bizarre episode of Law and Order, or maybe the creepiest episode of X-Files. It's almost entirely psychological and everything about the film is focused on the quality of the dialogue and the actors' delivery. People go on and on about cinematography and such, but that film isn't just one of the few to deserve the oscar it won, it was better than all the movies released in the 5 years before it, at least. There's been a hundred movies to cop aspects of it since that are terrible and not worth watching, and Silence of the Lambs is one of the reasons they keep getting paid for, but it is one of the few movies where you're really just hurting yourself by not seeing it.

Chances are you know someone who has it on DVD so you don't even have to pay for it.

...doesn't think No Country for Old Men will get an oscar nod, normally I don't care but it was really great and deserves some recognition.
