I was surprised that, in the first quarter hour, Hannibal Lecter isn't necessarily the creepiest man onscreen.  This is based on the novel by Thomas Harris and directed by Jonathan Demme.

Pretty dull but has some nice shots, like the silhouette of Zorro on his horse.  Martin Campbell directed, about thirteen years before Green Lantern, which is worse.

At least the scenery is kind of nice, so there's something to look at during some of the unrealistic emotions.  This is based on the Jim Harrison novella and directed by Edward Zwick.

Hopkins plays the title character, at a mocassin factory in '66.  I didn't stay tuned past the first quarter hour, but wouldn't the advent of hippies help?  Mark Joffe directed.
