This is one of my all time favorite movies. This is a five star movie and my two star rating applies only to the Blu-ray transfer. I have the Criterion Collection Edition of this movie. In comparing the Blu-ray edition and the Criterion DVD edition, I found the Blu-ray edition to have a less appealing color palette. It is somewhat bluish, less saturated, and sometimes looks magenta. The Criterion edition has an overall warmer tone. The movie itself also does not seem to benefit all that much from the higher resolution transfer either. I don't know if it's the definition of the film or if the transfer wasn't well done. You are not going to see the kind of sharpness you see on more recent Blu-ray transfers such as The Dark Knight or Revolutionary Road.
Excellent film, though if you have the DVD already it is probably not worth it to get the Blu-ray version.

I bought this movie expecting an Ok mistery Thriller...and that is what I got at the beggining but then it turned very good since the first time you see Buffalo Bill.My favorite scene is Hannibal's escape it is gory and exciting he is so clever I think he is the cleverest slasher movie villan off all time he can read your mind.Buffalo Bill is nutts...and I got a very high tolerance for nutts.The main villan is not Hannibal it is Buffalo Bill he is more bad than Hannibal...he has no reason Hannibal is traumatized.Between this 2 villans there is a hero it is the detective the female detective.It is a true classic of Horror cinema the first movie to give Anthony Hopkins his famous role as Dr. Hannibal Lecter The Cannibal.

I guess I must be watching a different one then everyone else. I;m glad it was only
9.99. I think the colors are poor. In real black scenes, the black has red
dots in it. The origonal looks better to me. SAve your 9.99
"My Favorite Movie"

This is by far my favorite movie. One of the things that really stood out for me the first time I saw it was the acting job done by Ms. Foster in the basement, in the dark. She was the first who I think really played the part like a real person would have. Anyway, the acting was superb, very interesting, yet sometimes gruesome, story, and all around fantastic movie.
That's the thing about whodunnits; once you find out who diddit, the film suffers the next time you watch it. I do remember though when I first saw this film in the cinema that I was very much involved in it and watching it on the big screen in near total darkness made you feel like YOU were Clarisse and the final scene in the basement stayed with me for a long time after that day too. It was certainly one of the finest films I had ever seen on the big screen.
Now that I'm viewing this once again but on DVD, I can't help but feel that a lot is lost in viewing this film this way. It made me realise that perhaps a Demme Director's cut version should be released which incorporates the deleted scenes which I thought were pretty good and that would help aid the story along as well. The sound quality of this Fullscreen version is advertised as 5.1 Surround and is pretty good sound quality wise although the picture quality does look as if it could be improved upon and here's hoping a proper Blu-ray or standard format 20th anniversary edition will be released in a couple of years time in a director's cut version so as to add some freshness and life to this great film. An anamorphic widescreen version would also be greatly appreciated.
As it is though, this film is still very, very good but it doesn't reward repeated viewing for me in its current form. Here's hoping and waiting for a 20th anniversary directors cut version!

Still one of the scariest, most compelling crime dramas ever made. Jodie Foster is just as mesmerizing as Oscar winner Anthony Hopkins in this cat and mouse game between an FBI agent and a serial killer. Ignore all the trashy sequels, the increasingly ludicrous books and the many spoofs of Hannibal Lecter. This is a great film and looks just stunning on this BluRay edition packed with extras.
