Based on a book by Thomas Harris, this early nineties psychological horror movie became the first horror movie to win a Best Picture award at the Oscars. Director Jonathan Demme took the already gripping novel and elevated it to new heights with his tense direction. It also casts Anthony Hopkins as the genius and cannibalistic psychiatrist Hannibal. Hopkins embodied the role and scared the audiences with his masterful portrayal, aided by Jodie Foster’s determined performance.
