Which is the better movie?

i voted the excorcist, because its the originality here, it was the beginning of it all, excorcism of a normal child hit by a demonic force and what comes after is pure horror, fear, dread, call it whatever u like, while silence of the lambs is a totally different thing, it s a crime thriller that goes really deep into human subconscious and even doesn t feel dated after 30 years of release, a classic but has nothing to do with the excorcist, two totally different movie genres
Weird how The Silence of the Lambs is considered "horror", yet Manhunter is seen as a thriller. I guess it's the way those films were directed because the story of Manhunter is more horrifying than The Silence of the Lambs, if anything.

I read the Thomas Harris novels & agree that Jame Gumb isn't as scary as Dollarhyde (sorry Ralph Fiennes couldn't Act 6 inches of height and another 100 lbs of muscle on himself in Red Dragon), but both are but rays of light compared to Lecters sun. I would consider Red Dragon/Manhunter horror too, like "smart" horror, and true stories of serial killers horror too. That would be True Crime/Horror, right? Just like flicks categorized Drama/Comedy, etc...
These are both special films. Very difficult to pick between them given how different they are. On the slimmest of margins I’ll go silence although I have seen the exorcist recently and it’s as close to perfect a film I have seen which is also how I would describe silence.

I picked Silence of The Lambs but I don't really have a reason. Is like making me choose between lasagna or pizza.

I think people consider The Silence of the Lambs "horror" because Hannibal Lecter comes off as a movie monster. He's the only fantastical element in this crime thriller setting.
Very mean of the original poster to pit these agaisnt each other.
I think its fair to compare the 2 to each other, not like its Caddyshack V.S. Saving Private Ryan lol!
I always compare Silence to Se7en and The Exorcist to The Shining. Anyway, I voted Exorcist but both 5/5.
