For me, Silence of the Lambs is the best of the series. Anthony Hopkins is chilling as Dr. Hannibal Lecter. His performance will haunt you for days after your first time watching it.
Even after subsequent viewings, I still get chills. He came EXTREMELY close to capturing that same persona in Red Dragon....but Silence gets the nod from me. It was a toss up for me between Silence of the Lambs and Red Dragon but I gave Red Dragon the nod because I remember walking into the theater expecting a great movie, and I was not disappointed in the least. But a case can be made for both films I think.

Hey, Caddyshack is no turd. Honeymoon In Vegas is a favorite of mine. You gotta love Johnny Williams as Johnny "Sandwich". I thought he'd be forever typecast as Johnny "Roast Beef" but I guess he can really stretch himself artistically. Seriously though, I love that movie.

DP, since Irishman won't tell you, I think he and I have the same problems with BLOOD DIAMOND, which sets itself up as a social message movie(message? It sucks to live in Africa) only to become instead a proxy for a meh action movie set inside a melodrama. By the credits, you just don't give a s*it who dies or whatever.
You're supposed to be outraged(since you know, it sucks to live in Africa) but one is given reason to seriously care.
Its not a bad movie. Hell DP, you might even like it. Its just to my eyes, senses, and nose, the movie is flatter than a young girl's chest. Of course I didn't care for LAST SAMURAI either, and some BB.Net folks enjoyed it, so it depends...
