Just noticed, UK viewers, that the best Hannibal Lecktor flick, Manhunter, is on tonight on ITV2 at 10pm. It clashes with Sean Connery's Umberto Eco adaption In The Name of the Rose on BBC4. Either's worth watching, but I love Manhunter: it's a "movie you should own".

Manhunter is the better of the two. All that bleached out 80's goodness. Better than Silence of the Lambs or any of the others. Absolute classic.

For some reason, even though I've seen it loads of times, it really started freaking me out tonight. I blame the soundtrack, and Tom Noonan.
Honestly, when you've seen Brian Cox playing Lec(k)tor, how can you be scared by Anthony Hopkins?

It's impossible, isn't it? More to the point, why would you ever have gone to Hopkins' Lecter if you had to go to a psychiatrist? Cox you could imagine passing as normal for years; Hopkins - you'd make an excuse and leave within the first few minutes of meeting him.
Then again, the book, The Silence of the Lambs, has him with six fingers on one hand and maroon eyes - Hopkins is relatively subdued in comparison to that.
