#36 SILENCE OF THE LAMBS (1991)
A NICE
CHIANTI...WITH FAVA BEANS
Anthony
Hopkins has made a great career out of being the creepy Hannibal
Lecter, but it's his debut in Silence of The Lambs that makes the
scariest impression. While Jody Foster's character, Clarice
Starling, interviews the madman, who's kept in a cell behind a thick
glass wall, he begins to taunt her, uttering the classic line, "A
census taker once tried to test me, I ate his liver with some fava
beans and a nice chianti." He then makes a chilling sucking sound
with his mouth that always inspired a nice jump from the movie
audience. Perhaps the only scarier scene he's been in, was the
revolting sex footage he filmed with the ravishing Nicole Kidman in
The Human Stain. Who the hell wants to see that?
