If any film deserves a special edition, it is The Silence of the Lambs. Silence is a superb adaptation of Thomas Harris' book of the same title. Jonathan Demme directed what is quite possibly the finest serial killer film of all time. This film introduced Anthony Hopkins as Hannibal Lector and featured a stunning performance by Jodie Foster as the FBI agent who establishes a relationship with the legendary murderer in order to catch another killer, Buffalo Bill. Like Jaws, this film is a cultural icon.

This special edition is loaded with extras on a second disc including fascinating outtakes, interviews with Demme and Foster, commentary. Literally EVERYTHING you could want to know about this film. Recipe cards for lamb dishes and fava bean delicacies are included. The special edition is a must-have for every dvd library.

If you are fascinated by the Lector story, also check out the new 3-disc set containing this film plus Manhunter and Hannibal. Not so many extras, but a great set of films. By the way, don't let anyone talk you into buying "Red Dragon", a horribly miscast revision of "Manhunter".
