The Terminator is one of the best Science Fiction films ever made. Although the plot is somewhat simplistic, the non-stop action and excellent performances more than make up for the thin plot. One of Arnold's best performances (due to the lack of dialogue). Highly recommended for Sci-Fi fans. My rating 8.8 on a scale of 10.
Silence Of The Lambs is an average movie that has been hyped to classic status. The superb performance by Anthony Hopkins is the only saving grace of this film. Jodie Foster is terrible as usual, she has to be one of the worst actress of our time. The biggest problem with the film is the absurd premise that a FBI student (She is not an agent) would be left alone to handle an investigation of this magnitude. Sorry but that just isn't going to happen. This movie is worth one viewing for Hopkins performance and that's it. It shouldn't even rate in the top 500 movies of all time. 5.4 on a scale of 10.
This film was an average crime drama, how it rates in the top 250 is beyond me. It does have great performances by Hackman and Schieder, but the plot is much to simple and the ending anti-climatic. The much vaunted car chase can't hold a candle to the car chase in Bullit. Worth seeing, but not one of the top 250 films of all time.
