Title: Decent value
Review: I think everyone should have a copy of "Silence of the Lambs." Show it to your kids right before bed-time.Naw, just jokin'. SoL IS NOT FOR KIDS UNDER 14 or 15.Seriously, SoL is really a modern classic. The acting is first rate from the entire cast. It's worth having if you are the type to re-watch favorite movies from time to time."Hannibal" is a bit more into the overt gore. I don't know that it's art, but, hey, I like it. I'll watch anything with Anthony Hopkins, and nearly anything with Julianne Moore. Ray Liotta makes a great bad guy (lots more moral corrosion than Lecter)."Manhunter" is, by comparison, pretty dry stuff. The acting is a bit austere; it seems more like actors going through the motions than getting into their parts. Still, it conveys a story that is useful background for SoL.Bottom line: good value for two great movies. Treat Manhunter as a free bonus, and you can't go wrong.
