#15. The Silence Of The Lambs
In 1991, one of the most iconic and terrifying horror movies of all time was released: The Silence of the Lambs, based on Thomas Harris‘ novel of the same name, the film achieved both critical and commercial success, paving the way for future sequels which would never quite live up to the success of The Silence of the Lambs.
Jodie Foster claims that during the first meeting between Lecter and Starling, Anthony Hopkins’s mocking of her southern accent was improvised on the spot. Foster’s horrified reaction was genuine; she felt personally attacked. She later thanked Hopkins for generating such an honest reaction.
