Silence of the Lambs

Hannibal is a big cannibal. He lives in a little room and knows everything. Clarice Starling used to have some sheep or something. She goes to see Hannibal the cannibal and he uses his magical powers to tell her that she used to have some sheep or something. They decide to use their powers for good and go and save a girl from having to put some lotion on her skin.

In preparation for his role as Hannibal, Anthony Hopkins marched an army over the Pyrenees and defeated the Romans

EMF’s classic song Unbelievable was originally written for the opening titles, but was replaced at the last minute by Howard Shore’s more austere theme

Cannibals protested against the film, feeling that having a cannibal serial killer in Hannibal Lecter portrayed them in a bad light

The role of Clarice was set to be a super intelligent dog, like Lassie, or Rin Tin Tin, but when Jodie Foster declared an interest, the script was hastily rewritten.

Bloopers

During the escape scene, while cops are waiting for the elevator, Hannibal can be seen tip-toeing behind them innocently whistling

Liver and fava beans should be paired with a French Rosé wine, not a Chianti
