Out of 4 stars:
The Silence of the Lambs:
Philadelphia:
The Manchurian Candidate: 1/2


I think I've seen Married to the Mob and Something Wild (want to see again) as well, but I don't remember much about them. I'm interested in Melvin and Howard.

2. Married To The Mob

3. Something Wild

Kind of a one-hit wonder here...

Re: FAMOUS DIRECTORS CHECKLIST SERIES - Volume #116 - The Films of JONATHAN DEMME

The Manchurian Candidate (2004) - 7/10
The Silence of the Lambs (1991) - 8/10
Swimming to Cambodia (1987) - 9/10
Something Wild (1986) - 5/10
Stop Making Sense (1984) - 10/10
Melvin and Howard (1980) 6/10


SMS is easily my favorite concert film, although I don't know how much of that to attribute to Demme. Likewise, my appreciation of Swimming to Cambodia is more about Spalding Gray than about the direction.
