The Silence of the Lambs (1991)

Clarice Starling, an FBI trainee, is pulled from her regimen at the Quantico FBI Academy by her boss, Jack Crawford. He assigns her to interview Hannibal Lecter, an incarcerated former psychiatrist and cannibalistic serial killer, on the pretense of persuading Lecter to answer a questionnaire about himself for the Bureau's psychological profiles, but secretly hoping to gain his insights about a psychopath serial killer nicknamed "Buffalo Bill," who kills young women and removes their skin from their bodies

Silence of the Lambs is one of the best thrillers ever made. FBI trainee Clarice Starling is assigned to the case of a serial killer, Buffalo Bill. She visits Hannibal Lecter, a psychotic cannibal in the prison to seek advice. The film has some moments that absolutely chill you to the bone. Ted Levine delivers an amazing, chilling performance as Buffalo Bill and Jodie Foster shines as Clarice. But the piece de resistance is Anthony Hopkins as Hannibal Lecter who gives the scariest, most spine chilling performance of all time. A must watch for all thriller and non-thriller fans alike.
