The Hannibal series

I just rewatched the Hannibal series on DVD, and am currently rereading the books.  While I would not put them up there with Scorsese, they are a great series of movies and books.  Even Manhunter, while it initially might seem a little dated, really is a great movie with atmospheric white interior and nighttime visuals.  Red Dragon is equally good, the whole thing looking like a living room, and The Silence of the Lambs has similar strengths, has the best performances, and all around is the best by far.  I even like Hannibal, different though it is, and Hannibal Rising, which in some ways features Hannibal at his most active and fatal.  A great, great and underappreciated series.  Check them out!
