Michael Mann is an underrated genius. The film has beautiful shot compositions, scenes that impeccably tie in thematic metaphors (the tiger scene is breathtaking), and a score that places the viewer immediately within the world. Brian Cox's Lecter is much more subtle than Hopkins, but just as unsettling in his demeanor.

An extra half star awarded for just being a silly good time. Some smart zombie stuff is hidden in this seemingly dumb film.

They definitely don't make 'em like this anymore!

This is a must-view every New Year's Eve, whether you have someone to kiss at midnight or not. Follow it up with Casablanca and you have the perfect romantic double feature.

It's hilarious, Warren Beatty and Dustin Hoffman have really great rapport, the songs are so bad they're good (and it's SUPPOSED to be that way), it's got a sense of adventure and tells a unique story (something severely lacking in American cinema today) AND Charles Grodin (a bonus to any…
