Watching "50 of the Greatest Detective Movies"and ...

Watching this on YouTube and it had all the classics of vintage movies with Bogart, Nicholson and beyond. Clear down on #6 was "Silencing of the Lambs" (1991). Its position surprised me as well as the fact that Anthony Hopkins character Hannibal only had less than 20 minutes of on-screen brilliance. He was so superb in the role. The picture got all 5 important Oscars: Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Actress, and Best Adapted Screenplay. Thomas Harris wrote it in 1988. It is a trilogy and I enjoyed all three but this first one was the best. Oh, and as a side note--Blade Runner (1982) was # 5 starring Harrison Ford and Darryl Hanna but the best of all was that Rutger Hauer was in it in all his glory. He was spectacular in his career. Great eye candy for this gal. I don't think much of the content creator's choices. He has The Godfather as #2 and Vertigo as #1. Strange.
