According to IMDb, the release date of "The Silence of the Lambs" was pushed back from late 1990 to February 14th, 1991 because Orion Pictures wanted to focus all of their attention in terms of Oscar campaigning on "Dances With Wolves." Both "Wolves" and "Lambs" went on to win the Best Picture Oscar in their respective years.

I saw "Manhunter" in the theater. It impressed me enough that I saw it again about a week later. It's underrated but became a cult classic on VHS.

William Petersen and Brian Cox have amazing chemistry, and Dennis Farina's Crawford is perfect, especially in the hotel room scene.

The scene where Clarice finishes telling her story about the lambs and Hannibal says "Thank you, Clarice" as a tear falls down his face. Incredible!

[@lukaskolisek2208]

From all possible actors Minty mentioned I think only Dustin Hoffmann would be able to pull it of and I can imagine him as Lecter. Well, maybe DeNiro in his calm and cold mode but it would be about 70% of Hopkins' or possible Hoffmann's portrayal. As for Al Pacino, he wouldn't fit at all because his screen presence is something like a bomb even when calm while Lecter's presence is more akin to poisonous gas with no smell - you have several minutes (or hours at best) left before you die and you don't even know it.

[@DonMachado]

I love everything about this movie, almost. If you have read the book, you'll know that the meaning behind "the silence of the lambs" is never once addressed in the movie. Pretty much everything happened as she described, but she went on to say that all at once the lambs stopped screaming and grew quiet, as if giving up hope and becoming resigned to their fate. It was the silence of the lambs that affected her so profoundly. I wish that had been included because it really defines who Clarice is and gives context to the title that otherwise has none.

[@topshonuff]

Clarice Starling was a big influence for creating “Dana Scully” from X-Files. Also Mulder; in last episode in 9th season says ,” I smelled you coming, Clarice.” When Mulder was in Jail. ~IMDB.

[@DCMarvelMultiverse]

I remember first watching the X-Files series and giggling at the SotL elements. Scully's resemblance to Clarice, Mulder's Lecterish cadence, the gray color palette, similar eerie look, and even the similar score.

[@largol33t1]

The resemblance is purely coincidence. Gillian Anderson was cast as Scully because of her background in theater and the creator Chris Carter thought she would portray Scully the way he wanted. I guess their hairstyles and the personalities of the two make them appear similar.

[@TheRealNormanBates]

@@largol33t1 I’m not too sure about that. It’s not insulting to consider there are multiple shows that were derived off of films: *Star Trek* was derived from *Forbidden Planet,* down to the misunderstood villain, the use of logic to talk the villain into submission and even the “ego, super ego and id” trio (though in *ST* they switched the logical doctor Ostram and emotional second officer Jerry around) *Miami Vice* is essentially *Scarface: the TV show,* only with the focus reversed (while retaining the style and music) So the idea of *The X-Files* taking Clarice and pairing her up with essentially the child of Kolchak (the Night Stalker) or the dad from *Close Encounters* isn’t too far fetched. Also keep in mind that Chris Carter couldn’t say *The X-Files* was inspired by *SotL* without getting Fox sued.

[@maxguod]

Did you forget that Clarice in "Hannibal" starred in "Evolution" with Fox Mulder - just an Easter egg

[@maxguod]

@ Jodie foster portrayed Clarice in sotl . Julianne Moore portrayed Clarice in Hannibal , the next movie .

[@catjudo1]

A fun fact about Anthony Hopkins is that prior to becoming a full time actor, he studied music with the intent to become a composer of modern classical. An album of some compositions called "Composer" was released about ten years ago and shows his versatility and talent as a composer. My favorite piece is called "And the Waltz Goes On" and can be heard on KZbin. Anthony Hopkins comes across as an intelligent man, mostly because he really is.

[@Sumermak]

He plays piano on his Facebook page. Its wonderful!

[@billylove2926]

Manhunter was fantastic. Caught the whole 80's vibe that Mann himself helped create. William Peterson was really great and Brian Cox was incredible as Hannibal. Hopkins was good but clearly went over the top. Cox was so understated and normal looking until he tells Will, "You want to get back the smell...smell yourself" it tells you how sick he really is

In 1991, the best animated feature category hadn’t been created yet, and Silence of the Lambs won Best Picture over Disney’s animated classic Beauty and the Beast.

There have been years where two or even three of the nominated animated films are better than the nominated and winner films for Best Picture. I do love Silence of the Lambs though.

Correction: Dykes Simmons was not the inspiration for Hannibal Lecter. According to Harris, Lecter was inspired by one of Simmons's fellow prisoners, Dr. Alfredo Trevino. Harris was at the prison to interview Simmons and spoke with Trevino in order to get more details on injuries that Simmons sustained during an escape attempt. Trevino asked Harris a series of probing questions regarding how he felt about Simmons and provided his own insight into Simmons's psyche. At first, Harris assumed Trevino was simply the prison's physician but was later told that Trevino himself was also a murderer and was insane. Many years later, Harris used aspects of his experience with Dr. Trevino to create, with obvious embellishments, the character of Dr. Lecter. Harris doesn't say so but Simmons seems to have partly inspired the character of Francis Dolarhyde (AKA the Tooth Fairy AKA the Red Dragon) from 'Red Dragon.'

Lol I came here to say the same thing

[@TerryMcQ79]

I don't usually say this....but this was a great book also. Read it on third shift in 1999. Took 3 nights and it was fantastic

[@marklowther3228]

Another great job, Minty. Thank you for this.

“I ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice chianti.” Great line from Silence of the Lambs everyone knows. But most people don’t realise Dr Hannibal Lecter is making a medical joke. Lecter could be treated with drugs called monoamine oxidase inhibitors - MAOIs. As a psychiatrist, Lecter knows this. The three things you can’t eat with MAOIs? Liver, beans, wine. Lecter is a) cracking a joke for his own amusement, and b) saying he’s not taking his meds.

this is a favorite movie of mine. I also like Red Dragon with Ed Norton

"Hello Clarice." "A census taker once tried to test me, I ate his liver with a nice chianti." Just 2 of the most famous lines utterred on film. The movie is also the most spoofed and copied. The movie was a big monster hit aswell as a huge oscar winner in 1991.

You forgot the fava beans.

[@lukaskolisek2208]

@@garrettbays6942 You must never forget the beans. It makes you look like an alcoholic who drinks chianti all the time. But the good thing is Dr. Lecter probably wouldn't like to eat your liver thinking he'd crush all his teeth on that rock solid piece.

One of the paramedics in the elevator scene was played by a well know Chicago radio personality at the time, Buzz Kilman

Here's some more cool facts! The actress who played the victim in the well (Brooke Smith, who played Catherine Martin) gained 25 pounds to help land herself this role. (Very underrated performance, btw) The cocoon removed from the dead victim's mouth was made of Tootsie Rolls and Gummy Bears so it could be swallowed safely in case it fell down the actress' throat. That famous "Fava beans and Chianti" line was ad-libbed by Hopkins. It was a joke regarding how people who take MAOI medication should avoid foods Chianti wine, beans _and_ liver! Hopkins is a genius, knowing that Hannibal would have knowledge of psychiatric medications.
