Made possibly the greatest crime thriller in the history of cinema. Great direction in the two films mentioned in the OP. Surprised he didn't get more work in Hollywood given his talent and intellect. Coaxed out amazing performances from his cast in both Silence of the Lambs and Philadelphia.

Going to rewatch part of SotL just now.
 
His earlier films Something Wild and Married to the Mob are also very good. The latter is an 80s screwball style caper comedy with excellent performances from Michelle Pfeiffer and a young Matthew Modine - I remember being very fond of it.
