Great of you two to react to this certified classic. Anthony Hopkins was suitably terrifying to creepy in his role as Hannibal Lecter, and it's more terrifying that he's based of a real criminal who committed his crimes in Mexico. His name was Alfredo Trevino and he was the last person condemned to death by the Mexican government, but he was released for good behavior when the death penalty was abolished after spending 20 years in prison. He died a free man.
Anthony Hopkins was dating Martha Stewart at the time he did this. She saw the movie and got so afraid of him that she dumped him. The way Buffalo Bill kidnapped Catherine Martin is very similar to how Ted Bundy abducted some of his victims, too.
