Silence of the Lambs - Thriller

Nice selection. Believe it or not, I read the original screenplay by Ted Tally, watched the film, and read Syd Fields analysis of the film just earlier this week.
I never really put together the idea that Crawford and Lecter were filling a "father" figure void left by Clarice's dead father until I read the analysis. Then again, in the screenplay it really seemed like Crawford would have been more of a love interest. I still should have caught it though..

last year in my Cinema study class we watched Silence of the Lambs, I have a new appreciation for the film, solid pick.

Dirk's up, but he hasn't checked in all day.  I saw him about 2 hours ago in the NBA thread, maybe he'll check in in a bit.

CP maybe at the top of every page we should have a draft order and the picks that were made by their respective owner that round, to help things

Yeah that's why I put this one here, but it gets hard to do that for each page as you go along. But I'll try to keep listing the order as much as I can.

Only after I made the pick 

Subtle, but so obvious at the same time

I'll see if I can get ahold of Dirk and let him know he's up.

I also won't be able to update the spreadsheet until tomorrow. I'm about to go out for the night.
