I had to get it eventually. Fortunately, it's an easy choice.

easy pick! Hannibal was a big disappointment

HANNIBAL was all gore and hack/slash. SILENCE was psychological brilliance. No contest.

Of the movies with Hopkins as Hannibal Lector Hannibal is the weakest, but still OK

The Silence of the Lambs is a cinematic landmark. Hannibal...just isn't.

I liked Silence of the Lambs too bad Manhunter wasn't a choice.

No contest here. Silence of the Lambs ate Hannibal's liver with some fava beans and a nice chianti.

This is a no brainer. The film with Jodie is far superior to the gory remake without her.

Agree, no contest at all. Silence deserves all the love it gets whereas Hannibal is right there with Caddyshack 2, Highlander 2 and Crystal Skull as sequels that should have never seen the light of day.

I really liked Hannibal, and enjoyed the book as well. Seeing Lecter living the kind of life he was meant for- art, culture, preying at will, was interesting and the locations were beautiful. The film had a great score, and strong performances all around. Silence of the Lambs is better in nearly every way, but it's not as though Hannibal is a cheap throwaway sequel- there is real artistry and care in the way the film was done, and I think it's been underrated more due to the cookie-cutter sequels that followed.
