The Silence of the Lambs (Two-Disc Collector's Edition)

Amazon.com essential video

Based on Thomas Harris's novel, this terrifying film by Jonathan Demme really only contains a couple of genuinely shocking moments (one involving an autopsy, the other a prison break). The rest of the film is a splatter-free visual and psychological descent into the hell of madness, redeemed astonishingly by an unlikely connection between a monster and a haunted young woman. Anthony Hopkins is extraordinary as the cannibalistic psychiatrist Dr. Hannibal Lecter, virtually entombed in a subterranean prison for the criminally insane. At the behest of the FBI, agent-in-training Clarice Starling (Jodie Foster) approaches Lecter, requesting his insights into the identity and methods of a serial killer named Buffalo Bill (Ted Levine). In exchange, Lecter demands the right to penetrate Starling's most painful memories, creating a bizarre but palpable intimacy that liberates them both under separate but equally horrific circumstances. Demme, a filmmaker with a uniquely populist vision (Melvin and Howard, Something Wild), also spent his early years making pulp for Roger Corman (Caged Heat), and he hasn't forgotten the significance of tone, atmosphere, and the unsettling nature of a crudely effective close-up. Much of the film, in fact, consists of actors staring straight into the camera (usually from Clarice's point of view), making every bridge between one set of eyes to another seem terribly dangerous. --Tom Keogh

Description

A psychopath nicknamed Buffalo Bill is murdering women across the Midwest. Believing it takes one to know one, the FBI sends Agent Clarice Starling (Foster) to interview a demented prisoner who may provide clues to the killer's actions. That prisoner is psychiatrist Dr. Hannibal Lecter (Hopkins), a brilliant, diabolical cannibal who agrees to help Starling only if she'll feed his morbid curiosity with details of her own complicated life. As their relationship develops, Starling is forced to confront not only her own hidden demons, but also an evil so powerful that she may not have the courage or strength to stop it!

YES!!!!! FINALLY MY FAVORITE GENRE OF FILM GET'S RECOGNIZED BY THE OSCAR.......2007-08-30

The Silence of the Lambs brought GOLD to the arms of HORROR films
in 1991 and I can still remember it like it was yesterday watching
that Sunday night. The movie had already garnered 3 Oscars for
actress,actor and director...Now was the time for the big MOMENT!
No way was it going to get best picture...NO WAY! For how many
times before has our HORROR been snuffed at from the ACADEMY AWARDS
With the exception of Frederich March in DR.JEKYLL(he won in 1932
for best actor...had to share the honors with another actor..I blame this
for the movie he was in..A HORROR)The Academy has gave out a handful
of statues since the first ceremony in 1927..Some I can think of are
Oscar winners like The Exorcist winner for best sound(oh! "whoopee")
The Omen and Jaws for best score and Piper Laurie with Sissy Spacek carrie
were nominated...O.K. What about Anthony Perkins for PSYCHO(no nomination?
????????????????) Jaws for best picture 75(lost to the STING..The Sting
is good..but c'mon!!!!!!) and we can go on and on Kubrick's Shining
NOTHING! So I knew in my heart Silence too was to get nothing,but
lo and behold..IT WON! I was so happy I jumped up and down and
held (I can still remember)holding my Dracula(1931) and JAWS VHS
tapes in my hand screaming WE DID IT! WE DID IT! I was so ecstatic
I thought the neighbors would call the police. I am not going to go
into details about the plot to this film...I am sorry you can read
any other review to get that! I just wanted to say to every one
involved in this THANK YOU! To Thomas Harris,Johnathan Demme
Jodi Foster Anthony Hopkins Scott Glen and of course MY FAVORITE
the GREAT Ted Levine(don't even get me started on why he did not
get best supporting actor????????????????????) You did give the
best picture for 1991 and a HORROR film I proudly display in my
vast SPOOKY COLLECTION. LONG LIVE THE SHEEP!

The Silence of the Lambs.......2007-07-17

Jonathan Demme's superb adaptation of Thomas Harris's petrifying page turner makes for an equally riveting, disturbing film. Foster is note-perfect as Starling, a driven but inexperienced operative struggling mightily not to appear both terrified and out of her depth. And Hopkins's seething, malevolent Lecter makes the knife-wielding Norman Bates in "Psycho" look like a boy scout. Ted Levine is also suitably deranged and bizarre as Buffalo Bill, adding further to the goose bump count. One of the more potent shockers out there, "Silence" is not for the squeamish, but those who can take it will love it. The film won a slew of major Oscars, including Picture, Actor, Actress- and earned them all.

"Put the F**king Lotion in the Basket.".......2007-05-11

The only film that can be dubbed a "horror film" to win the Oscar for Best Picture, "The Silence of the Lambs" is a film that has and continues to stand the test of time. #65 on The American Film Institute's Top 100, it's also one of the few films on that list to actually make the average film critic's top 100 as well. The film stars Jodie Foster in her 2nd Oscar-winning role as Clarice Starling, a fledgling FBI agent assigned by Jack Crawford (Scott Glenn) to interview Dr. Hannibal Lecter (Anthony Hopkins), a former psychiatrist doing time in a maximum security facility. There's a serial killer on the loose dubbed Buffalo Bill, who has been kidnapping innocent young women and taking portions of their skin. People often mention that this movie and its book are based on the legendary serial killer Ed Gein. It's not, but that aspect of the story is. As Clarice begins interviewing Lecter, she finds herself drawn further into the case and finds herself forming a sort-of friendship with Dr. Lecter. Now, this is a film that is much like "The Godfather" in the fact that it's been parodied endlessly ("Joe Dirt" and "Family Guy" have recently parodied this film), yet when we actually see the legendary scenes of the film we don't start laughing. Most people who haven't seen this film can still recite the lines "It puts the lotion on its skin or else it gets the hose again." This movie is not just filled with legendary portions of dialogue, but also legendary scenes. Notably, the introduction of Dr. Hannibal Lecter. This scene is simple, yet unforgettable. Clarice is walking down a hallway, to the final cell at the end. When Lecter is revealed, he is merely standing in his cell completely erect waiting for Starling. It's this kind of body language (among other things) that won Anthony Hopkins the Oscar. Few other actors have created characters that have had so much effect on our society (other examples would be Marlon Brando and Al Pacino). Ask someone to identify a line of dialogue from this film and it will either be the line I listed above or "I ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice Chianti." This is a film in which Hopkins proved (much like Pacino did in "Dog Day Afternoon" and John Malkovich did in "Of Mice & Men") what a complete actor he is. In a lot of films you watch, you see an actor and think, "there's [insert name here]." When Lecter first appears, my thoughts were "there's Hannibal Lecter." Foster is also effective as Starling, considering she's in damn near every scene of the film. She's also the moral center of the film, as well as the protagonist. Hollywood is nervous about giving a woman the lead role, especially in a role that requires the woman to be both vulnerable and strong-willed at the same time. Foster does both and makes it completely believable. Ted Levine is one of the only actors who could've played Buffalo Bill (the only other actor I can think of that could have pulled off the role is John Malkovich). It's the voice mostly. Much like the line "I coulda been a contender" probably wouldn't have been much had it not been Brando who recited it. "The Silence of the Lambs" is a perfect film, at least of it's genre. The reason it has stood the test of time is for the same reason movies like "Pulp Fiction" and "Casablanca" have. Like those movies, every scene is absolutely necessary for the film to function as a whole. Howard Hawks once defined a great movie as "three great scenes and no bad scenes." "The Silence of the Lambs" has more than three great scenes, several legendary ones, and no bad scenes. After 16 years, more people still see this than they do its sequel and prequel "Hannibal" and "Red Dragon." I'm sure in 16 more years, it will still be seen more than those two films and it's recent 2nd prequel "Hannibal Rising."

GRADE: A

Hannibal at his Height.......2007-04-01

The Movie

Nevermind the pop culture boogie man the character became. The only superb film in the series was the first good horror/thriller in decades. It did this not by shedding the humanity of it's characters, but drenching them in it. The streamlined script (relying on exposition by showing memory in action rather than the usual talking head, for example, Clarices memories of her father), the superior direction and inventive cinematography steeped the film in tragedy, doom and suspense. The casting was perfect. All surrounded by institutional squalor and the flipside of the american dream.

The Disc

Finally we get the extras we deserve. I already have the Criterion Edition with it's interesting commentary track and more key players than you can shake a script at...well, all of them actually. Too bad they couldn't have combined the two discs for those who don't have the Criterion. As pissed off as I get about the heinous act of Double Dipping, this was one I couldn't pass up, and the extras made it well worth it for me.

Yet another Repackaging of a classic.......2007-03-18

I have an almost pathological devotion to this Film. Like Cassablaca it is that rare meeting of the right director with the right cast at the proper place in time. It is a tribute to this film that all the sequels and prequels have done well inspite of a less then spectacular treatment of the authors writen word. (Don't get me started on the ending of the Movie "Hannibal"!
I own the original DVD of SOL and the Criterian editon and because of the added extras listed on the sales page I decided to purchase this two disk package. I have to say I enjoyed the new Two Disk package very much but can not really say if it is worth the purchase if you are like me and own any of the earlier multi feature packages.
The feature on the making of the film that show the building of the feature and it's inpact durring it's initial release was very interesting. It shows how unique a film it was and how it's very disturbing story caused such a stur even at Oscar time. I had almost forgoten that.
There is a very interesting "From Page to Screen" piece that I always find enjoyable. These featurettes are always literate and well constructed.
One aspect of the this set I truly loved was the Anthony Hopkins phone message in Character you can transfer to your message machine. I was so there for that. ( I need Help. HeHe)
As far as the transfer quality it is a fine letterbox quality rendering and It is almost theatre like if you have a Hi-Def televison and I urge all who have the Dash for such a purchase to make it. It takes the viewing experiance to the next level.
In the end It is a very good package and I do not feel I was swindled by making the choice of buying it. I don't think alot of new ground was covered from the other special additons but the small diffeances were enough for me.

Product Description

Anthony Hopkins reprises his Oscar-wining role as the infamous Dr. Hannibal Lecter in the thrilling prequel critics are hailing as "A Suspenseful Masterpiece!" (Fox-TV)

After capturing Dr. Lecter, FBI agent Will Graham (Edward Norton) retires only to be called back to active duty to hunt down an exclusive killer, "The Tooth Fairy" (Ralph Fiennes). Red Dragon is the electrifying, critically acclaimed movie that "returns the series to The Silence of the Lambs form" (Jack Mathews, New York Daily News).

System Requirements:
Starring: Anthony Hopkins, Edward Norton, Ralph Fiennes, Harvey Keitel, Emily Watson, Mary-Louise Parker, and Philip Seymour Hoffman.
Directed By: Brett Ratner.
Running Time: 2 Hours 5 Minutes., Color.
This feature is presented in "Widescreen" format.

Format: DVD MOVIE

A lot could've gone wrong in Red Dragon, but the movie exceeds expectations. Replacing the acclaimed Manhunter as an "official" entry in the Hannibal Lecter trilogy, this topnotch thriller--the second adaptation of Thomas Harris's first Lecter novel--returns to the fertile soil of The Silence of the Lambs, serving as both prequel and heir to the legacy of Lecter as portrayed, with mischievous menace, by the great Anthony Hopkins. Familiar faces and locations reappear (along with Lambs screenwriter Ted Tally) as Lecter coaches FBI profiler Will Graham (Edward Norton) in tracking the horrific "Tooth Fairy" killer (Ralph Fiennes), whose transformative killing spree is inspired by a William Blake painting. By dutifully serving Harris's potent material, Tally and director Brett Ratner craft a suspenseful film worthy of its predecessors, bringing Hopkins full circle as one of the cinema's all-time greatest villains. With overtones of Psycho and a superb supporting cast, Red Dragon succeeds against considerable odds. --Jeff Shannon

Get Manhunter instead.......2007-09-12

With a cast that is this good, why in the world was this director hired? Look at the previous movies he has made. They are not serious movies. Look how poor Xmen 3 came out after Brian Singer was replaced by Bret Ratner. He should stay with Rush Hour. The acting is great at times, but the direction is poor at best. The potential here is great but the outcome is severely lacking. A much better movie is Michael Mann's Manhunter. It not only tells the story, it gets one emotinally involved. While Manhunter was prepared and executed with thought, Red Dragon here seems unprepared and thoughtless.

Not the REAL Red Dragon.......2007-08-18

A remake of "Manhunter." William Petersen (CSI recent), Brian Cox, Michael Mann's pre-Miami Vice version of "Red Dragon" is head and shoulders above the Hopkins version. Go to Manhunter (Director's Cut, Limited Edition Set) for the original.

The linked version of Manhunter includes both versions, the key difference being the ending many saw when the movie was released, then wondered what happened to when they saw the movie on for-charge TV broadcasts.

Young Grissom.......2007-07-26

This is certainly a great movie - Anthony Hopkins cannot be compared - he is a truly great man of our times. But, if you want to see Gil Grissom (C.S.I.) when he was young, go get the original Red Dragon movie - he was a very handsome young man in that movie and delivered a great performance.

Perfect Installment..........2007-07-03

Reading all the novels, this one back in 1986, I recall being so scared, having to leave my father's apartment, walking to the nearest coffee shop to finish the story. This killer thought about his prey, nothing spontaneous, everything planned to the minute's detail. Harris's tale brought me out of a world of insulated `safety", to the knowledge of evil.

A few years later, came across "Silence of the Lambs" to read the tale in one sitting. The serial killer in this case, a mutant cross dresser gone mad, making dresses from his victims skin. "Buffalo Bill" imprisoned his victims in a deep hole, feeding them just enough to ensure their skin, once at the correct weight, would be added to his "dress" and the body thrown away. Mr. Bill is not sophisticated in his motivations, in fact absolutely mad...but throughout the film...and novel, is Hannibal's relationship with Starling. There is a connection: something more, something absolutely diabolical.

"Hannibal" the novel, hits the world and the story is good but overrated by the critics because it is making so much money.

Dr. Lecter has disappeared from the scene. After travelling to Venice, he attempts to settle himself amongst the beauty of his imagination.

But this is another film.

Red Dragon is well constructed and well planned.

Director Brett Ratner rose to the occasion and gave us a great instalment.

The first time seeing Red Dragon thought it was too plain, didn't like it, the second time, once putting the film in perspective, noticed it followed the novel and now, enjoy the film for its continuity, and presence overall.

Well done.

Forget Man Hunter! .......2007-05-12

I give this movie four stars, because like all Hannibal Lector movies, the book is better. But if you are not up for reading a book, then the movie is a short and sweet summary. Of course Anthony Hopkins is as slithery as ever, but the rest of the cast is also amazing. Edward Norton and Ralph Fiennes are more than qualified to fill these complicated roles. If you have ever seen Man Hunter, erase it from your memory, it will only cause you damage. Red Dragon is a much better version than Man Hunter.

Still haunting after repeated viewings.......2007-09-09

I bought this Criterion DVD when it first was released. It is one of the few movies that translated perfectly from Harris's original novel. And that novel surpasses his later work in style and atmosphere. Hopkins won the award for his fascinating performance. Yet,on repeated viewing,it is the Jodie Foster role as Clarice that is far more interesting. She manages to convey a vulnerability and strength that are a match for the predatory Dr Lector (aka Lecter). Their relationship is one of allure based on intellect. The intellectual marriage is somehow more profoundly sexual in its intimacy,mating of two superior brains and power of revelation (on Jodie's part) that both contrasts and fuses with the impenetrable mystery of this interesting/good professor and mentor/party animal/wild killer/savage obscentiy named Hannibal,which we can never ever hope to understand, and never want to,really. No, the latest book (Hannibal Rising) can't even come close to explaining away this enigmatic fellow. Nor should it. Evil ought to remain mysterious. And we (also empathic with Foster) confront and deal with it...Great Jodie Foster fan here. A real actress worth five stars alone. GS

Hello Clarice.......2007-09-07

Silence of the Lambs of a detective using a serial killer to catch another serial killer. This movie contains two fo the greatest performances in the history of cinema, that of Anthony Hopkins as Hannibal Lecter and Jodie Foster as Clarice Starling.

This movie is so good it's almost overwhelming. A definite masterpiece. Jonathan Demme put together an amazing piece of film.

The DVD has extras that, although underwhelming, are quite good. There's a new documentary called "Inside the Labyrith", and also 20 minutes of deleted scenes, other featurettes, and even a collectible booklet.

Definite Must Have.

Disturbing and Paranoiac Film.......2007-02-07

This is a mesmerizing tale of the most heinous of nightmares come true as FBI agent Clarice (Jodie Foster) is immersed into an abyss of the darkest side of deviant human behavior where the flesh eating Dr. Hannibal Lecter (Anthony Hopkins) agrees to assist her in her investigation to capture a serial killer who commits unspeakable atrocities on his victims. Jodie Foster must traverse into a world of dark sickening debauchery to capture the killer. The story takes several turns heightening the intensity and unspeakable terror of her assignment. The story is unsettling in its own right but the film seen from Foster's perspective has a pervasive feel of paranoia as if she has not been given all the information she needs or even further to suggest she is actually being set up as bait. One scene in particular comes to mind when sitting in the back seat of the car her boss (Scott Glenn) speaks cryptically to her and she just gazes at the back of his head once he turns around. You really don't know what either character is thinking. Very disturbing.

Adapted from a popular French comedy-thriller, The Man with One Red Shoe follows a concert violinist (Tom Hanks) used as a patsy in a conflict between two rival factions of the CIA. Singled out at the airport solely because he's wearing mismatched shoes, Hanks is henceforth believed to be a mole with important information; a rogue crew of agents follows him, searches his apartment, and even seduces him in order to find out what he knows. At the same time, loyal agents--who also believe he's a mole--follow and protect him from predation by the rogues. Lori Singer plays a beautiful blonde spy with a conscience and an astonishing backless dress; Dabney Coleman, Charles Durning, and Edward Herrmann are agents trying to second-guess each other; Jim Belushi plays Hanks's best friend, a jealous percussionist, and Carrie Fisher plays Belushi's wife, a flautist who's infatuated with Hanks and wants him to make some jungle love. Hanks plays it straight and is reliably pleasant. In the hands of Hitchcock, this might have generated some real suspense; as it is, it's amusing with some good twists, some weak gags, and one remarkable bicycle stunt. --Bret Fetzer

Description

In this hilarious undercover comedy, violinist Richard Drew (Hanks) is mistaken for a spy after wearing one red shoe and triggers a game of rivalry between two feuding CIA bosses (Charles Durning, Dabney Coleman). Though Richard is mugged, shot at and chased, he remains unaware that he is an object of suspicion and even falls in love with the agent (Lori Singer) who's trailing him. Meanwhile, his friend's (Jim Belushi) love-starved wife (Carrie Fisher) has designs on him as well.

Dir.: Stan Dragoti (or as some might call
him, Mr. Cheryl Tiegs)...Starring: Tom
Hanks, Lori Singer, Dabney Coleman, Jim
Metzman...[he played 'Oi-ving', the door
man in Crocodile Dundee I]. A fine remake
of the 1970 French comedy, 'The Tall Blonde
Man with one shoe.' Hnaks plays slighty flaky
classical musician who gets mistaken for agent
which invovles all sorts of chases lead by
hyper ambitious Dabney Coleman in one of his
best roles of the '80's! Singer and Hanks are
very good in here. If Tom Hanks had stayed with
comedy, he would have been maybe the best. Sigh...

three stooge version.......2006-05-03

This is the second remake of the original French version from around 1970. This one is the worst of the three. The gags remind me of the Three Stooges movies. They are overdone and drawn out to pad the movie to 90 minutes.

Benefits From the Superb Acting from Sutherland and Sedgwick.......2007-04-14

Kiefer Sutherland's credible acting as Roy, rich, successful businessman is the reason you should see this little-known film. For his next project Roy, acid-tongued perfectionist, hires a photographer Natalie (Kyra Sedgwick), who happens to be his long estranged sister. We soon realize that Roy actually called in his sister for another reason - he knows he is sick.

"Behind the Red Door" tells the story of their reconciliation as well as their traumatic childhood in the film's black-and-white flashback sequences. Stockard Channing also appears as Natalie's agent, but the time and role allotted to her is too short and small.

Kiefer Sutherland superbly deals with the vulnerable side of cynical Roy, who must accept the inevitable facts. Kyra Sedgwick is also very good as his sister, who cannot leave her annoying brother even after displaying her animosities right in front of him. Each scene including both actors has a ring of truth, something that many people would find in their personal experiences.

However, I for one found the flashbacks about the murder of their mother unnecessary. The saddest event that must have affected the lives of the children needs more detailed descriptions, but the back story about the death of their mother remains too vague to convince us of the impact upon Roy and Natalie, whose memories, it is suggested still haunt her present life.

The dramatic power of "Behind the Red Door" comes largely from the talented stars whose effective acting makes the otherwise ordinary film's scenes very memorable.

Behind the Red Door.......2006-06-22

This movie absolutely took me by surprise. I wasn't expecting much as I have seen some of Kiefer Sutherland's earlier movies and wasn't impressed at all by the story content or his acting. With that said.... I have to say I was absolutely stunned at the power of his portrayal of Roy Hadad. I found myself forgetting that it was Kiefer playing a role, but instead found myself empathizing with Roy and taking great joy in the relationship he was beginning to re-form with his sister Natalie on an adult level. I could truly feel Roy's vulnerabilities and fears through Kiefer's interpretation of him. I also am not ashamed to admit that I rented this movie multiple times before I bought it. The only thing that mars the beauty of this story is the use of a very strong curse word used multiple times by different actors. I wish it wasn't there and it really serves no purpose being there. It truly detracts from the pure beauty of the film. The serenity of the ocean coupled with Kiefer's very subtle facial expressions and movements when he makes his decision on the deck and when he tells Natalie of this decision (I won't ruin it for those who have not seen it) overwhelmed me. I truly felt the power of his conviction and the sense of purpose Roy must have felt at that time, and this was once again all due to Kiefer's portrayal of Roy. Kiefer also portrays Roy's lifestyle in a way that is understated so that this is not the focus of the film but keeps the focus on the relationships and Roy finding for himself peace with God and others. This movie is pure genius on the part of Kiefer Sutherland and I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a movie with depth. I look forward to more truly amazing performances by Kiefer Sutherland in the future. Kiefer, if you're out there let me say that no actor has ever moved me the way you did in this movie. Thank you for the experience.

FANTASTIC.......2006-06-15

This is what movies should be, great script, great acting, great directing...movies aren't made like this anymore which is too bad.

Best portrayal of sibblings' healing after childhood abuse.......2006-01-27

Á must see movie for people with substanance. Emotional healing is a long and painful process. Roy painting the front door of his house a bright red colour is just one of the visual healing processes. The nature scenery is so beautiful I wish I could see, feel and hear the surroundings of the house and the house itself. Both actors delivered brilliant performances, and I don't understand why the movie and the actors didn't receive an Oscar or Golden Globe!

Kiefer At His Best!!!.......2005-05-29

I rented this film before I bought it. I must say that this is Kiefer's absolutate "best" performance. I rented it for 3 straight weeks and then bought it. I watch it over and over again. The story was so sensitively told and the cast was absolutely perfect!!!! Kiefer of course was the solid anchor and Kyra brought in the rear w/her solid portrayal. I loved the actress who played Michelle as well, she was a delight. I also particularly took notice of the actress who played the young Natalie. I am expecting more from this young lady and look forward to seeing her in future projects.

But, back to the story. My heart was touched and I found that "I" wanted to go help Roy myself. That's just how profound Kiefer's portrayal is!!!! It seemed like I was watching my own loved on going through this situation. Though I have enjoyed everything I've seen Kiefer do, this is, again, his absolute "best" work. And now with his success on 24, there's no stopping him now!!!!

I highly recommend this film. You will see a most sensitive story told in the absolute finest form, superb peformances and you will experience Kiefer "at his best!!!"

You go Kiefer!!!! May God continue to bless you!!!!
