3. The Silence of the Lambs (1991)

The psychological horror thriller that became the first movie to win an Oscar in the category is an impressive film even after all these years. Based on a book by Thomas Harris, the movie is about an FBI trainee (Jodie Foster), who investigates a serial killer that likes to skin its victims. She tries to understand her murderer’s mind by questioning a cannibalistic psychiatrist (played brilliantly by Anthony Hopkins). The climax scene will make one keep the lights on.
