I just saw Silence of the Lambs for the first time. I understand that "Hannibal" is the sequel and "Red Dragon" is a prequel. In which order should I watch the next two?

Hannibal and then Red Dragon ... that is the order they were released and will probably create the best story line ... i personally liked red dragon better however

Just watch "Man Hunter," and call it a night.

Manhunter was first (based on Harris' first Lecter series novel, Red Dragon)

Silence of the Lambs (the second novel and perhaps Harris' best of the series)

Hannibal (Harris' third novel . . .but the movie changed the ending)

Red Dragon (another based on Red Dragon, obviously . . . not nearly as good as Manhunter, imo, but entertaining)

Hannibal Rising . . . not in the same league as any of them . . . but maybe worth a watch for fun.

Manhunter and Silence of the Lambs are required viewing. Both very good films.

Been awhile since I've seen either, but I remember Red Dragon being much closer to the book than Manhunter was.

As far as Hannibal Rising goes, wasn't that just movie studios pushing the author to write a new book to turn into a movie? I think it takes away from the Lecter character by giving him a reason to turn evil as a young person. Just have him be born evil.

Hannibal and Jane gumb is possibly the best duo of villains in movie history. But you like Hannibal more than you dislike him.

Here is my advice...

don't waste your time with Hannibal. Terribul cartoonish movie.

Watch the original ManHunter rather than the remake called Red Dragon. ITs just better.
