Hannibal Lecter has been in the news recently for reasons both dumb and stupid. But Anthony Hopkins' performance is anything but - the only thing scarier than this film is the prospect of another four years of [REDACTED].

Speaking of presidential trauma, Jodie Foster is equally incredible in this flick. Dads love Jodie Foster, because her movies are always real good but not so good that you can't eat popcorn during them, you know what I mean? Howard Shore and Jonathan Demme just nail their assignments, as does pretty much everyone else here; the Dads talk about how the movie has aged (mostly like wine) and how goshdanged scared we all were. Buckle up and get away from that van; it's time for 1991's SILENCE OF THE LAMBS.
