re: .

I don't agree with TSPDT's ranking of their movies at all and as Freauxzen has said, 1000 great movies is way too many, but I like the idea of that database.

I can certainly see the arguments for and against SOTL as a great film. I actually did not like the movie the first time I saw it despite liking the interactions between Hopkins and Foster...I felt that should have been a larger focus (of course I hadn't read the book by my first viewing so did not know how small Lecter's role was). I think the movie had tremendous acting but it never struck me as outstanding. I would probably put it in my top 200, though.

Strangely enough, Blue Velvet is another movie that I didn't really like the first time I saw it, but it has grown on me.
