5. The Silence of the Lambs (1991)
Sir Anthony Hopkins and Jodie Foster starring in this one of the all-time great movies. Quoting the plot directing from IMDB: “A young F.B.I. cadet must receive the help of an incarcerated and manipulative cannibal killer to help catch another serial killer, a madman who skins his victims”.
Directed by Jonathan Demme, Anthony Hopkins appears for a little more than 16 minutes and yet his powerful performance will not let you get bored or forget him, probably for the rest of your life.
This movie has made so much impact in people’s minds that some reviewers have even called it “The Godfather of all thrillers” and a “modern-day classic”. People pretty much seem to agree that this is one of the best thriller movies of all time. You surely do not want to miss it.
