This film won many Oscars, including Best Picture, best Actress, and Best Actor. It's of note that Sir Anthony Hopkins won as one of the winning actors with the least actual screen time. Likely because his presence was felt even at times he wasn't even on the screen.
There is a sequel called "Hannibal" and though it is often not as highly regarded, i still recommend checking it out. Sadly, Jodie Foster does not return to play her character but it still has a great cast and is directed by Ridley Scott . i feel its definitely worth a watch.
Note that the arrogant Dr. Chilton is getting off the plane at the end, so that is what Lechter specifically means when he says “I’m having an old friend for dinner.”
Yes, that's the problem with the vanity of RUclipsrs. I noticed it in several places in this reaction. All the talking for the sake of talking and looking at the camera means you miss crucial parts.
The late, great Charles Napier played the guard who Lecter transformed into a butterfly. He was a favorite actor of Jonathan Demme and had roles in many of his films, including Philadelphia, Something Wild, and Married to the Mob. You may have recognized him, as he was the lead singer of the Good Ole Boys in The Blues Brothers.
An early example of Jodie Foster's magic is "The Little Girl Who Lives Down the Lane" (1977). It's wonderfully creepy, and Ms. Foster is captivating as the titular character. I really enjoyed your reaction to this flawless classic!
The cinematography - which you spoke of, sir: Almost _no one_ picks up on this. Whenever a character is looking *directly* into camera... they're talking _to_ Clarice. In the reverse shots, Jodie Foster is looking *slightly* OFF camera. Like the danger of Hannibal within the story this is meant to get "inside your head." We, the audience, subconsciously _become_ Clarice as the camera slowly pulls us into the abyss. Dir Demme pulled the same "trick" in his Manchurian Candidate remake as well as Philadelphia. Demme's subtle brilliance cannot be overstated. RIP, genius.
"A census taker once tried to test me. I ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice chianti." Eww... Fava beans. Gross. 😝 Fun Fact: The rules for speaking with Dr. Hannibal Lecter (Sir Anthony Hopkins) is the same as the rules for speaking with Ethan Powell in Instinct (1999), a role also played by Hopkins. Awards Milestone Fact: This is one of three movies to win the top five Oscars: Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Director, Best Picture, and Best Screenplay. The others are It Happened One Night (1934) and One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest (1975). What Script Fact: Jodie Foster claims that during the first meeting between Dr. Hannibal Lecter and Clarice Starling, Sir Anthony Hopkins's mocking of her southern accent was improvised on the spot. Foster's horrified reaction was genuine since she felt personally attacked. She later thanked Hopkins for generating such an honest reaction. Law Enforcement Cooperation Fact: The real-life FBI's Behavioral Science Unit assisted in the making of this movie. The FBI saw it as a potential recruiting tool to hire more female agents. They were very impressed by this movie's accuracy in depicting criminal investigations, serial killers, and their victims. However, they disagreed with Clarice (Jodie Foster) discovering Buffalo Bill (Ted Levine) on her own, because inexperienced agents would never be sent out alone on dangerous assignments.
Has anyone ever bit their tung or cheek? Thats what humans taste like. salty on the outside and......the inside too? bit more sour? tangy? lol....think about it.
Not sure if someone mentioned this yet or not, but in the book the handcuff key Hannibal had made was actually a very methodical years long project he had been working on. For the movie’s purposes, they simply made you think that there was someway he was able to get a hold of the pen.
The character Buffalo Bill was partly based upon the real-life Wisconsin serial killer Ed Gein. Gein was also the inspiration behind Norman Bates in Psycho.
1:18 In the book Clarice also has good timing speed in pulling the trigger, in the FBI training course. IDK if the FBI really times it but in the book it does
Hannibal was already at the destination the warden ran off too upon learning of Lector's escape. Hannibal knew the warden inside and out from his exposure to him! He was there waiting for him! Eagerly awaiting your direction of "Shine"
The pen was left in Hannibal’s cell. They take the restraints off when they leave out. He didn’t leave right that minute. He knew the new guards would not respect him enough to take the proper precautions and he could escape.
1. The lisping sound Hopkins makes after he says, 'I ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice chianti." is the first scene he and Foster did together and he wanted to freak her out, so her reaction is real. 2. Ted Levine/Buffalo Bill was so disturbing that he received death threats after this was released. 3. The FBI actually let them use their Quantico facility to film. 4. In the book Crawford did have a "thing" for Clarice. 5. "I'm coming to get you Murdock". The late😇 Charles Napier/Lt. Boyle played Murdock in "Rambo First Blood II". A great first time/share. 6. Everybody is hitting on Clarice but IRL hitting on Foster is a waste of time and effort. She doesn't fly that way. She has been married to a woman since it became legal in Caliphony. 7. In the book Crawford did have "a thing" for Clarice. 8. Dr. Lecter was treating Clarice 9. Others will pass this to you as well but: This movie won ALL 5 of the big Oscars.
This movie was the first movie I ever saw in a theater by myself. I was really into psychology at the time, and this was my favorite movie for a long time too. Still is in my top 10. I have a death’s head moth tattoo, as well as Dali’s “In Voluptus Mors,” the skull made up of 7 naked women that makes up the moth’s face on the movie poster. Can’t believe all these incredible 90s films are 30 years old now. Such a great decade for movies. Maybe the best ever.
The lambs were the victims of Bill. They were being slaughter, silenced, and skinned. Clarice had a need to save victims. That’s why she was so fearless and determined. Hannibal needed to know why this small woman was who she was. She intrigued him. Most would not have come back after the first visit.
Actor Ted Levine has appeared in at least 40 films over the years but his performance as Buffalo Bill in Silence of the Lambs is not surprising THE role he is most remembered for In the opening sequence for the televised broadcast of The 64th Academy Awards f ollowing the release of this movie, comedy legend (and long time bff and "partner in crime" of Robin Williams...see their COMPLETELY unscripted and HIGH-LARRY-US Friends cold open cameo) long running Oscars ceremony host Billy Crystal had himself wheeled onto the stage in his full tuxedo strapped to a handcart and wearing a facemask similar to the one in the "Memphis transfer" scene in Silence of the Lambs.
That zoom in to his hand holding the component from the pen (a key, for the handcuffs) - it's reminiscent of the scene in Notorious, with the zoom in the the wine cellar key in Ingrid Bergman's hand, to be given to Cary Grant's secret agent. Good stuff.
Another one of my favorites! I freaking loved Anthony Hopkins since I was like 9 years old! The man is a top-tier actor! We had this on vhs! I watched it so many times!
I just knew you would love this movie and I would love your breakdown of it. I love this movie and Anthony Hopkins just sucked the air out of the room whenever he was on screen. Jody Foster held her own, too. Amazing movie.
Okay. I had to pause after eight minutes to subscribe. You had me at "Tableau", one of my favorite words with regards to meaning. I have a history with the word,, as it was the one I chose for a English assignment way back in secondary school (UK system). Also, your vocal tones are very amiable. :)
You asked about a sequel, Red Dragon is technically a prequel, made after Silence of the Lambs, but in my opinion it's fantastic. Ralph Fiennes, Edward Norton, Anthony Hopkins, Philip Seymour Hoffman, a bunch of great performances and a really intriguing story. I also loved the book version. Worth checking out! This was my first time seeing one of your reactions, and I really enjoyed it. Gonna have a look around your channel for more!
My only issue with the escaped lunatic part at the ending is, he's in a different country with a disguise. If I were to lock you up for years and then you escaped, would you even be able to find food and shelter to survive let alone a plane ticket to another country?
“…I see. I myself cannot. (Inhales deeply) You wear Evian skin cream,… (Inhales) …and sometimes you L’air Du Temps… but not today.” -Dr. Lecter Many thanks for your movie experience and the laughs. Entertaining as always. Keep on keeping on, bromigo. Gritos from Tejas. “Ready when you are, Sgt. Pembry.”
Another way above average film reaction, Mr. V...been appreciating yr style for a few months now, lovely to see an extensive/comprehensive vocabulary put to good use! Must add only 1 thing (OCD? Nah...just fan-girling lofl): author Thomas Harris only wrote (as far as we know anyway) the four novels-turned-screenplays we know & love...I can't stress strongly enough everyone should at least try to READ the books. Freaking amazing. Yeah, I'm talking to you ❤❤❤❤
The exact wording is "appearing on screen for little more than 16 minutes" which reasonable people take as how long he's in the movie for (you don't win an Oscar strictly for "on screen" time), and by my DVD copy that translates to 34 minutes 54 seconds including voice time as he enters then exits each of the ten scenes he is in. What makes the figure believable to be fair, other than how unfair it is to Hopkins by having reputable sites blindly repeat it without checking, is that Hannibal is completely absent for extended periods of the movie twice, once for almost 20 minutes and another for over 25 minutes. Also his first appearance isn't until almost 12 minutes in. Here's the breakdown from my DVD giving start - end timestamps = duration (running total): 11:55 - 18:38 = 6:43 (6:43) "May I see your credentials?" 26:54 - 30:20 = 3:26 (10:09) "Your bleeding has stopped." 50:03 - 55:20 = 5:17 (15:26) "Quid pro quo" 57:17 - 58:20 = 1:03 (16:29) "His first name is Louis" 58:49 - 1:02:10 = 3:21 (19:50) "Where will it tickle you?" 1:04:03 - 1:10:45 = 6:42 (26:32) "Good evening, Clarice." 1:11:23 - 1:15:10 = 3:47 (30:19) "Mind the drawings please." 1:16:52 - 1:19:31 = 2:39 (32:58) "Talk to him!" 1:21:13 - 1:21:33 = 0:20 (33:18) "Pulse 84." 1:47:26 - 1:49:02 = 1:36 (34:54) "I'm having an old friend for dinner."
You're one of the smartest people I've seen react to this spectacular movie! You get every beat, every character moment. This was an automatic subscribe for me.
Hey sir, I am only part way through this video but I just had to stop and comment before I finished up. I watch a lot of reaction videos, and to be honest most of what gets recommended to me is just more of the same. People posting reactions to very popular films or music but only offering limited or non-expansive commentary of the media and their experience with it. I must say that your channel so far is an epic breath of fresh air. I really feel like your commentary is honest. You watch movies like I do - digesting as much as possible; not allowing details to slip by. I can't wait to see how you like the rest of this masterpiece, and then I will be moving on to some of your back catalog. I'm really excited to return to a channel that is offering actual reactions, with substance so that the experience for us, the viewers, is not at all one-dimensional. Thanks
film is so powerful and transformative! I perceive it as a privilege to be able to make videos of my experience and cross paths with like minded individuals such as yourself. thanks for your time
I love the education I got watching this with you. Thanks for the word pop ups teaching us a few things. Love the reaction too. I'm glad you appreciated it as much as most people should.
A few psychological thrillers off the top of my head: The Bone Collector-Denzel Washington/Angelina Jolie Double Jeopardy-Tommy Lee Jones/Ashley Judd The Sixth Sense - Bruce Willis/Haley Joel Osment High Crimes - Jim Caviezel/Morgan Freeman/ Ashley Judd Unbreakable - Samuel L Jackson/Bruce Willis Split - James McAvoy Glass - James McAlvoy/ Samuel L Jackson/Bruce Willis Unbreakable, Split and Glass all tie in together and that’s all I’m gonna say.
Someone spoiled the ending of the sixth sense for me :( lol. do you think it is still worth the watch??? I've seen the unbreakable films. The first few, not so much. Thanks!
@@MrValentineReacts The acting from Haley Osment alone is worth the watch. That little guy did a fantastic job. Give The Bone Collector and Double Jeopardy a shot. I think you will enjoy them. Much love❤️
Nice reaction, and as in most of your reactions, I appreciate your the use of humor and irony. Two prequels to this story, "Manhunter" and "Red Dragon" are quite good. The sequels are not great, IMO. What IS great is the streaming show "Hannibal," one of the most artistically beautiful shows ever produced. The acting is also first rate, and although difficult to believe, the Hannibal Lector played by Mads Mikkelsen is even better than Hopkin's. Mads did have a full three seasons to enact subtleties and nuances that feature films don't permit.
Dog, you’re smart as hell and really well spoken. I can really tell that you appreciate cinema! In my opinion this is the greatest movie ever made. One flew over the cuckoo’s nest is my number two choice, definitely worth watching if you haven’t seen it already.
If you're looking for psycho killer movies I highly recommend Hitchcocks "Psycho" and "Misery" directed by Rob Reiner based on a book written by Stephen King.
Hello! Please consider watching "The Cell" (2000) next 😊 It has really impressive visuals, perhaps it is more disturbing than thrilling but still a very well made movie.
Please watch Westworld. It's a total mind-f*ck and takes many watches to fully follow it. It's a fantastic puzzle and Anthony Hopkins is great in it, along with Ed Harris.
You should really do a reaction to the movie "Hannibal Rising" that Anthony Hopkins is in as well. It tells the life story of Hannibal Lector & what made him the killer that he became.
In response to your request for psychological thrillers I have three to recommend A BEAUTIFUL MIND PROMISING YOUNG WOMAN THE SIXTH SENSE If you have already seen any one of these three you will have a good idea of what you will be getting in watching the other two. And I would love to hear your commentary on them.
@@MrValentineReacts I think you'll like A BEAUTIFUL MIND. It seems to me like it would be right up your alley, as it is also transfixing. I've seen it several times. And it never fails to blow me away. And the James Horner score is one of his absolute best.
When people have seizures, they can swallow their tongues and die. People often use a spoon or something to hold their tongues down while help comes. Miggs was insane, so Hannibal probably drove him to spazz so that he choked on his tongue.
Fantastic. I'm glad you enjoyed it! I'm brand new to the channel (subbed) so forgive me if I am recommending something that you've already covered, but I suggest The Usual Suspects, Fight Club, and (not the same flavor, exactly) American Beauty.
On one of your recent reactions I suggested you react to "Auntie Mame" with Rosalind Russell, and you commented that you were obsessed with Russell in "His Girl Friday." I'm wondering if you're still considering doing that, or if you perhaps even have already.
This film won many Oscars, including Best Picture, best Actress, and Best Actor. It's of note that Sir Anthony Hopkins won as one of the winning actors with the least actual screen time. Likely because his presence was felt even at times he wasn't even on the screen.

Loved Hannibal despite it's detractors...
@@CEP73 yeah while its not quite as good as the first film, i think its really good
Note that the arrogant Dr. Chilton is getting off the plane at the end, so that is what Lechter specifically means when he says “I’m having an old friend for dinner.”
Yes, that's the problem with the vanity of RUclipsrs. I noticed it in several places in this reaction. All the talking for the sake of talking and looking at the camera means you miss crucial parts.
@@tobilinooo lol what do you think my response at 32:57 was alluding to?
I'm 50 years old, and this is still one of the best movies ever made. It has everything.
it is truly scintillating
The late, great Charles Napier played the guard who Lecter transformed into a butterfly. He was a favorite actor of Jonathan Demme and had roles in many of his films, including Philadelphia, Something Wild, and Married to the Mob.

that is incredible! I rewatched it with this in mind and cannot be more appreciative.
I love Scott Glenn's performance in this. Other movies of his you should definitely watch are Silverado and The Right Stuff.
It never fails to amaze me how many reactors criticize her decision to talk about her personal life. It was the ONLY way to get his cooperation.
Did you catch that at the end, the "friend" Hannibal was having for dinner was the creepy Dr. Chilton? 🤔😮😉😁
Not sure he caught that part…
Dr Chilton was only considered creepy because he was not a hot guy. Huh
@@thereisnopandemic
Are you pretending to be an incel to make fun of them, or was that a serious comment? I honestly can't tell.
Perhaps caught it on Patreon
I caught that ghastly comment lol. 'Cannibal Lecter' 33:02
"A census taker once tried to test me. I ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice chianti."
Eww... Fava beans. Gross. 😝

Has anyone ever bit their tung or cheek? Thats what humans taste like. salty on the outside and......the inside too? bit more sour? tangy? lol....think about it.
Great reaction. Ironically the actor that plays Buffalo Bill mostly played police roles after this.
My favorite role of his was Capt. Stottlemier in the "Monk" TV show! He's got a subtle sense of humor that I love. 😉👍
It took me years to stop getting creeped out every time I heard his voice.
Shutter Island is one. Another great film.
Not sure if someone mentioned this yet or not, but in the book the handcuff key Hannibal had made was actually a very methodical years long project he had been working on. For the movie’s purposes, they simply made you think that there was someway he was able to get a hold of the pen.

Eagerly awaiting your direction of "Shine"
@Mr Valentine went into the Oscars as a horror film, won a few Oscars and now its a "thriller" lol. One of the better modern flicks

This movie was the first movie I ever saw in a theater by myself. I was really into psychology at the time, and this was my favorite movie for a long time too. Still is in my top 10. I have a death’s head moth tattoo, as well as Dali’s “In Voluptus Mors,” the skull made up of 7 naked women that makes up the moth’s face on the movie poster. Can’t believe all these incredible 90s films are 30 years old now. Such a great decade for movies. Maybe the best ever.
i bet that tattoo is gnarly! the description alone is intriguing. the 90s will go down in the annals of history as peak cinema!

In the opening sequence for the televised broadcast of The 64th Academy Awards f ollowing the release of this movie, comedy legend (and long time bff and "partner in crime" of Robin Williams...see their COMPLETELY unscripted and HIGH-LARRY-US Friends cold open cameo) long running Oscars ceremony host Billy Crystal had himself wheeled onto the stage in his full tuxedo strapped to a handcart and wearing a facemask similar to the one in the "Memphis transfer" scene in Silence of the Lambs.
That zoom in to his hand holding the component from the pen (a key, for the handcuffs) - it's reminiscent of the scene in Notorious, with the zoom in the the wine cellar key in Ingrid Bergman's hand, to be given to Cary Grant's secret agent. Good stuff.
yowza! great catch. I haven't seen Notorious in many a moon; high time.
You're good. I continue to watch this movie over and over. Both Hopkins and Foster deserved their Academy Awards.
Since you liked this you'll probably like the tv series. Its a prequel set before anybody knew he was insane and eating people
Just kinda wish they'd waited to introduce Will. He caught Hannibal like, 11 minutes after he met him in the book.
Another one of my favorites! I freaking loved Anthony Hopkins since I was like 9 years old! The man is a top-tier actor! We had this on vhs! I watched it so many times!

Now you should watch "Hanibal" the second part, then "Red Dragon" the third.
another great reaction. twisted yet gripping movie. the direct sequel is "Hannibal" and then "Red Dragon"
32:56 such a nice gesture Dr Lecter- I just had an old friend for dinner myself, yesterday 😊
Okay. I had to pause after eight minutes to subscribe. You had me at "Tableau", one of my favorite words with regards to meaning. I have a history with the word,, as it was the one I chose for a English assignment way back in secondary school (UK system). Also, your vocal tones are very amiable. :)

i've never watched your reactions before but I really enjoyed it! will check out more of your stuff because your perspective was really nice to see :)
I think Anthony Hopkins had something like 16 or 17 minutes of total screentime in this movie, but he absolutely *chews* every scene he's in.
The exact wording is "appearing on screen for little more than 16 minutes" which reasonable people take as how long he's in the movie for (you don't win an Oscar strictly for "on screen" time), and by my DVD copy that translates to 34 minutes 54 seconds including voice time as he enters then exits each of the ten scenes he is in.
What makes the figure believable to be fair, other than how unfair it is to Hopkins by having reputable sites blindly repeat it without checking, is that Hannibal is completely absent for extended periods of the movie twice, once for almost 20 minutes and another for over 25 minutes. Also his first appearance isn't until almost 12 minutes in.
Here's the breakdown from my DVD giving start - end timestamps = duration (running total):
11:55 - 18:38 = 6:43 (6:43) "May I see your credentials?"
26:54 - 30:20 = 3:26 (10:09) "Your bleeding has stopped."
50:03 - 55:20 = 5:17 (15:26) "Quid pro quo"
57:17 - 58:20 = 1:03 (16:29) "His first name is Louis"
58:49 - 1:02:10 = 3:21 (19:50) "Where will it tickle you?"
1:04:03 - 1:10:45 = 6:42 (26:32) "Good evening, Clarice."
1:11:23 - 1:15:10 = 3:47 (30:19) "Mind the drawings please."
1:16:52 - 1:19:31 = 2:39 (32:58) "Talk to him!"
1:21:13 - 1:21:33 = 0:20 (33:18) "Pulse 84."
1:47:26 - 1:49:02 = 1:36 (34:54) "I'm having an old friend for dinner."
Why didn’t the algorithm give me this guy sooner? He is very fun to watch movies with
pleasure is all mine

appreciate your generosity. this film worked wonders on my brain
Definitely love ur persecutive on this movie great reaction because there are not many movies that hit the notes this one does
Its nice to hear intelligent and relevant commentary on a reaction instead of "that was so cool". 👍
A few psychological thrillers off the top of my head:
The Bone Collector-Denzel Washington/Angelina Jolie
Double Jeopardy-Tommy Lee Jones/Ashley Judd
The Sixth Sense - Bruce Willis/Haley Joel Osment
High Crimes - Jim Caviezel/Morgan Freeman/ Ashley Judd
Unbreakable - Samuel L Jackson/Bruce Willis
Split - James McAvoy
Glass - James McAlvoy/ Samuel L Jackson/Bruce Willis
Unbreakable, Split and Glass all tie in together and that’s all I’m gonna say.
Someone spoiled the ending of the sixth sense for me :( lol. do you think it is still worth the watch??? I've seen the unbreakable films. The first few, not so much. Thanks!
@@MrValentineReacts The acting from Haley Osment alone is worth the watch. That little guy did a fantastic job. Give The Bone Collector and Double Jeopardy a shot. I think you will enjoy them. Much love❤️
January Man is a great follow up to SOTL
Nice reaction, and as in most of your reactions, I appreciate your the use of humor and irony. Two prequels to this story, "Manhunter" and "Red Dragon" are quite good. The sequels are not great, IMO. What IS great is the streaming show "Hannibal," one of the most artistically beautiful shows ever produced. The acting is also first rate, and although difficult to believe, the Hannibal Lector played by Mads Mikkelsen is even better than Hopkin's. Mads did have a full three seasons to enact subtleties and nuances that feature films don't permit.
Dog, you’re smart as hell and really well spoken. I can really tell that you appreciate cinema! In my opinion this is the greatest movie ever made. One flew over the cuckoo’s nest is my number two choice, definitely worth watching if you haven’t seen it already.
cinema is my raison d'etre. oooooo I LOVE one flew over the cuckoo's nest. Jack Nicholson ftw lol
@@MrValentineReacts hell yeah. I’m trying to write a short film and a full length movie now. Hopefully I can try and make them myself someday.
@@Smoothjazzsundays godspeed! Screenwriting is fun af isn't it?? The beauty and terror of the blank page. Success in all your future endeavors 🙌🏽
My God !!! .... You are absolutely FANTASTIC !!!!!! What an intelligent, perfect review. KEEP IT UP !!!
Didnt you already upload this reaction? I swear you did!
Is my memory in error?
Amazing reaction, as always! I truly adore the intellectual approach you take, sprinkled with a healthy dose of humor 🤓🌸
There are only a few movies that ever leave in imprint on our psyche. This is one of them.
left an indelible impression on me for sure
If you dug this DEFINITELY watch the others... Hannibal rising,,the last one ,,was excellent too🤘🔥🤘
Your thought out and well articulated commentary got me to subscribe. Looking forward to more.
🙏🏾
Happy to see you again. As usual, great!
you described the scenes so well
Incredible choice of movies lately dude. Keep it up!
🤙🏽
I liked the part when she tells him about the lambs
There is hannibal the red dragon (prequal), hannibal and hannibal rising
Awesome movie. Thx for your reaction.
The late great Hannibal Lecture 🐐🫡💯
Such intelligent and insightful commentary. Subscribed 🙂
thanks for your sub!
If you're looking for psycho killer movies I highly recommend Hitchcocks "Psycho" and "Misery" directed by Rob Reiner based on a book written by Stephen King.
"Billy is not a real transexual. He thinks he is, he tries to be."
Hannibal is the super hero of cannibalism, disturbing but true
Always look forward towards your analysis. Great reaction!
My favorite movie of all time!
Always a pleasure to watch one of your reactions. 👍🏻
Hello! Please consider watching "The Cell" (2000) next 😊 It has really impressive visuals, perhaps it is more disturbing than thrilling but still a very well made movie.
you have piqued my interest
Thanks for your video,
such a good movie, and always nice to see you using nice French words. Bonne journée mon ami.
"Frailty" is a great movie
🙏🏾
Please watch Westworld. It's a total mind-f*ck and takes many watches to fully follow it. It's a fantastic puzzle and Anthony Hopkins is great in it, along with Ed Harris.
Check out "Cape Fear" with DeNiro.
A Scorsese joint? will do!
I think Gone Girl will be up your alley
I have been planning on watching that soon! thankfully, I've avoided spoilers(the bane of my existence) all this time
Much better than the sequel, Loud Ass Cows
Enjoyed your commentary.
You should really do a reaction to the movie "Hannibal Rising" that Anthony Hopkins is in as well. It tells the life story of Hannibal Lector & what made him the killer that he became.
a little villainous backstory? I'm in!
@@MrValentineReacts It's twisted & dark af but you'll love it. It takes you deep into Hannibal's demented mind
Check out Legend of the Fall w/ Anthony Hopkins and Brat Pitt. You won't regret it. 🙂
She is not fresh out of school. She has not graduated yet.
touchè
There Are sequels and prequels Plus many more books by the writer
In response to your request for psychological thrillers I have three to recommend
A BEAUTIFUL MIND
PROMISING YOUNG WOMAN
THE SIXTH SENSE
If you have already seen any one of these three you will have a good idea of what you will be getting in watching the other two. And I would love to hear your commentary on them.
I've seen all but A beautiful mind! thank you. (Watched Promising Young Woman 4 times in theater I was so transfixed; also a huge Bo Burnham fan)
@@MrValentineReacts I think you'll like A BEAUTIFUL MIND. It seems to me like it would be right up your alley, as it is also transfixing. I've seen it several times. And it never fails to blow me away. And the James Horner score is one of his absolute best.
I really loved this reaction
New sub. Loved your reaction and analysis
much obliged!
Great review of arguably my favourite film. Have you seen Se7en 1995 Morgan Freeman & Brad Pitt. New subscriber.
.
He has a reaction up already for Se7en you can watch, about a month back now
Great flick. Great reaction.
When people have seizures, they can swallow their tongues and die. People often use a spoon or something to hold their tongues down while help comes. Miggs was insane, so Hannibal probably drove him to spazz so that he choked on his tongue.
Alright, great reaction!
🎉
No way out is a very movie. Can you please react to it?
1987 ?
❤

Comment
you are a gentleman, and a scholar
Finally get to enjoy your reaction to something worth watching. Been a while brother.
Star Wars prequels and other stuff being on zero interest to me
glad I could reel you in on this one!
The sequel isn't nearly as good.
Movie recommendation face off.
Yes, there's a sequel, but it is, IMNSHO, horribly disappointing.
Fantastic. I'm glad you enjoyed it! I'm brand new to the channel (subbed) so forgive me if I am recommending something that you've already covered, but I suggest The Usual Suspects, Fight Club, and (not the same flavor, exactly) American Beauty.
I've only seen American Beauty (cinematographic excellence). And someone more or less spoiled the ending of Fight Club for me; still worth watching?
@@MrValentineReacts I think it is still worth watching, even if you know the ending. I'm betting you'll really dig how its all put together.
On one of your recent reactions I suggested you react to "Auntie Mame" with Rosalind Russell, and you commented that you were obsessed with Russell in "His Girl Friday." I'm wondering if you're still considering doing that, or if you perhaps even have already.
I am! I am enamored with His Girl Friday lol. I'll watch Auntie Mame in the coming months!! Rosalind Russell is ravishing to me
@@MrValentineReacts awesome! I honestly believe you'll love it!
