The Silence Of The Lambs (1991)
Dir: Jonathan Demme

A young FBI agent is sent to interview an incarcerated psychopath in order to track down a demented serial killer.
Classy thriller with strong performances from the leads. Jodie Foster carries the movie and Anthony Hopkins gives a memorable, if slightly hammy, turn as Hannibal Lecter. Though the story is very complex, it's cleverly directed and there are some well staged scenes.
