Michael Mann's 1986 film "Manhunter" was the first movie made about Hannibal Lecter. Based on Thomas Harris' novel "Red Dragon," the film stars William Peterson as former FBI profiler Will Graham, who went into retirement after being attacked by Dr. Hannibal Lecktor, whom he captured.

Zodiac
"Zodiac" is based on a non-fiction book of the same name by political cartoonist Robert Graysmith, formerly of the San Francisco Chronicle.
