Sweet 16 (Tier 2): The Silence of the Lambs vs. Raging Bull

We are getting down to the truly spectacular. Who can make it to the Elite 8?

THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS

"Billed as one of the most frightening, depraved films ever made. Would that it were so. Instead, this is a case of much ado about nothing." - Gene Siskel, Chicago Tribune

RAGING BULL

"Martin Scorsese's obsession with a dubious mystique of masculinity turns "Raging Bull" into a ponderous work of metaphysical cinematic bull." - Gary Arnold, Washington Post

The winner will move on to the next round. The full bracket is attached below.

 

This might be the first time I’ve voted for Raging Bull. Demme deserves all the acclaim, but Raging Bull is a monument of a film

 

Silence of the Lambs is fine but really this isn’t remotely close

 

Let's get Silence of the Lambs out of here finally.

 

Silence of the Lambs

 

oooh. nice pairing. both good, one must go....

Which made more of an impact for me?

SOTL, as I saw it in the movie theater, while Raging Bull was on video, or TV.

Which do I Like more? Which would I watch if on TV? SOTL.

Voting for Raging Bull, and moving on. Gotta choose one... :/

 

this being close is insane to me. people really like the third best lecter performance, huh

 

Wtf is happening here

 

It really shouldn’t be this close. Yeesh

 

insanity

 

Silence of the Lambs wasn't even the best film of 1991.

 

With 51 percent of the vote, Raging Bull will face Pulp Fiction in the Elite 8.

 

Phew

 

Im good either way.

 

thank goodness
