I revisited this movie with the recent Hannibal Rising just coming out on DVD. It really does stand the test of time. You couldn't imagine anyone else but Anthony Hopkins and Jodie Foster in the roles of Lecter and Starling, but actually they were not first choice to play them by a long way. Brilliantly directed with some great production design, there's a huge chance you've already seen it, but repeat viewings never fail even though you know what is going to happen. This is very much a JM RECOMMENDS.
