The Silence of the Lambs (1991)

At first, I didn't know what all the fuss was about - it seemed to be a detective movie which happened to have someone named Hannible Lecter in it. So what? But there is a real sense of wanting to catch the criminal, not just because it's her job, but to shut Lecter up. He's a smug know-it-all who happens to be right about every thing, and he's completely terrifying. 

It's a moving film, meaning it barely stops or slows, but never leaves you exhausted. The pain of the girl in the well is captivating and it all comes together excellently.
