Awesome book!! And, for my money, the best screen adaptation is "Manhunter." With William Petersen and Brian Cox, whose Lector can't be touched. Highly stylised and beautiful film.

I saw that movie decades ago and I still remember scenes from it. It's a great example of atmospheric filming and Mann is at his best. Definitely make an effort to watch it. You won't be disappointed.

I've not seen that version but I'll be sure to add it to the list!

If you liked the scene between Dolarhyde and Reba, then you'll probably enjoy Manhunter, done up in Michael Mann synth soundtrack.

Currently watching the Hopkins version I'll probably watch the Cox version tomorrow!

I have to agree there. Red Dragon was good, but Manhunter was in different class. Especially the scene with the tiger.
