Villians?

Border Reiver:
Lon Chaney's Phantom of the Opera - the hero is a cardboard throw-away.  The female lead isof some interest, but in the "finest" tradition of 19th century literature is also poorly developed.  The only character that is reasonably three dimensional is Eric.  Hardly a new trend, and the movie followed the book reasonably closely.

This was actually my first thought. All of those classic horror movies, i.e. Dracula, Frankenstein, The Mummy, The Wolf Man, etc., all focused more on the villain, because, well, it's who the movie was about. This isn't a new trend at all.

He only had 15 minutes of screentime in Silence of the Lambs.  Just pointing that out.

Lines:
I doubt that, but even if it does total up to 15 minutes, he completely deserves the Oscar he won for that role. (This happens to be one of my favorite movies.) Hopkins was brilliant in Silence of the Lambs.

Dimmukane:
Seriously, it was only about 15 minutes.
