    It's considered by most movie buffs to be the GOAT thriller/horror movie... can any other film claim the crown?

    I'd say no. All things considered, I think it should rightfully be considered the GOAT of the genre.

    Despite being copied 7500000 times, it still holds up well

    It's been copied in some fashion by each and every single slasher film to come after it.

    It basically created the horror film twist.

    Hmm... I am checking many lists online and honestly none of those films listed comes close to the masterpiece level of 'Psycho'. I will mention in a distant second 'The Silence of the Lambs' and the underrated but highly spooky 'The Innocents'(1961).

    I would probably go with silence of the lambs due to the acting of the two leads alone. It’s just an overall masterpiece.

    Psycho had a good run. But it’s time has passed.

    Nothing “shits” on lambs. Even if you think it’s a better thriller, you still can’t say it “shits” on it.

    Lambs is a superb film

    Cue Mustard Faggot to chime in with his limey bullshit about "the original British film about 'annibal Lecter was a better film, a proppa 'orror film, guv'nor"

    Are you referring to Manhunter? That ain't no British film, it was directed by Michael Mann.

    Manhunter is a good movie, but it's not in the same league as Lambs... not even close.

    And Lambs is brilliant movie... but Psycho is better.

    For some reason I assumed it was British made because of mustard's weird attachment to it

    I have no problem with people saying that psycho is better, and don’t get me wrong, in my opinion it is number two. It has been number one for a long time. But I just think that silence, is a lot more scarier today then psycho is. I also think that silence messed with my mind more than paycho did. I also think the acting is better in silence. My only problem is saying that any movie shits on silence. That’s just not the case.

    Nope. It's a Michael Mann film... the same dude who directed Heat, The Last of the Mohicans, and the HUGELY underrated Thief.

    Psycho has diarrhoea all over 'Lambs'.
    Thats how much it shits on it.
    Anthony Hopskirt and his pantomime "he's behind youuuuu!" role.
    Fuckin Jodie 'Southern-Rednecks irritating cunt-voice' Foster.


    Fuck off.

    No.
    Ive never really liked Silence Of The Lambs.

    Its one of those thrillers that appeal to thick, averaged-IQ'd people who dont lnow cinema.

    Peterson was better than Foster. That I can agree with you. Peterson is the main reason why Manhunter is good.

    Cox damn sure wasn't as good as Hopkins though. That's just insane.

    Edward Norton was fucking horrendous trying to play Peterson's role in Red Dragon.

    Different approach to the character.
    Hopkirt played it like a theatrical drama role.
    Cox was unnervingly believable.
