I am obviously in the minority here, but I have never understood the massive appeal of this movie. Granted, Anthony Hopkins is one of the all-time heavyweights- for that I will go 2. But Jodie Foster, in my opinion, couldn't act her way out of a parking ticket. And with memorable lines like "it puts the lotion on the skin"....sheesh! Watch 30 minutes of any Kevin Costner flick, then turn on CNN. At least you will save the cost of a DVD.
