Here is an oldie but a goodie!

FBI trainee Clarice Staring is pulled from her training at the FBI Academy at Quantico, Virginia by Jack Crawford of the Bureau's Behavioral Science Unit. He asks her to interview Hannibal Lecter, a former psychiatrist and incarcerated cannibalistic serial killer. His insight might prove useful in the pursuit of a serial killer nicknamed "Buffalo Bill", who skins his female victims' corpses.

Clarice travels to the Baltimore State Hospital for the Criminally Insane, where she is led by Frederick Chilton to Lecter's solitary quarters.

Although initially pleasant, Lecter grows impatient. As she is leaving, one of the prisoners flicks semen at her. Lecter, who thinks this is disgusting calls Starling back and tells her to seek out an old patient of his. From there Lector helps Starling capture some of the most vicious criminals!

Lector skillfully digs into Starlings psyche, forcing her to reveal her innermost traumas and putting her in a position of vulnerability when she can least afford to be weak. The film also shows a lot of horrors of criminal acts with the psychological horrors of Lecter's slow-motion questioning of Clarice and of her memories that emerge from it.

Overall, all of us at Movies 'n' Chill think this is definitely one of the best movies of all time. It's jam packed full of gory and nail biting moments. A thriller to watch this silly season when you're stuck indoors!
