Silence of the Lambs with Nikita Redkar

This movie didn't just win Best Picture, it won ALL the major Oscars, and it's easy to see why. Tense and gripping throughout, with some of the most incredible acting performances ever. Jodie Foster and Anthony Hopkins perfectly convey a grounded reality within the high camp of Thomas Harris's shock-based plot. Jonathan Demme also deserves a lot of credit for making the movie feel coherent as it careened between moments of intimate terror and grotesque violence. But the real surprise is that the tone of the movie holds up. There's hardly a cringey misstep, and even the (relatively) low-tech setting doesn't feel dated or awkward in 2018. This is one of the Academy's best picks of all time.
