  <p>Here are a few examples, for what they are worth.</p>
  
  <p><strong>Silence of the Lambs</strong> (1991) can be paired with <strong>Chianti</strong> and <strong>Suit Yourself Pinot Grigio</strong>.</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Alamo Drafthouse is releasing two wines that pay tribute to the classic killer chiller: Cannibal Chianti and Suit Yourself Pinot Grigio.</p>
    
    <p>Italian-grown Cannibal Chianti is a 85% Sangiovese blend with Canaiolo and Malvasia del Chianti, a DOCG wine from a vineyard between Florence and Sienna. Alamo notes that it has “savory plum and tobacco leaf notes.” Suit Yourself Pinot Grigio — a reference to “Lambs” killer Buffalo Bill’s penchant for wearing suits made of women’s skin — is a California wine from the Central Coast and inland vineyards with notes of “tropical peach and Mexican limes with just a hint of honey.” - <a href="http://variety.com/2013/film/news/silence-of-the-lambs-wines-from-alamo-drafthouse-quaff-some-cannibal-chianti-1200489046/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Silence of the Lambs’ Wines From Alamo Drafthouse: Quaff Some Cannibal Chianti</a></p>

  <p>Of coarse <strong>James Bond</strong> is quite unique in his wine pairs of his 22 episodes, so I will give only three examples here:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>“On Her Majesty’s Secret Service”: This is the first of two 007 movies in which the spy truly falls in love, so let’s go with something romantic, pink bubbles: the very-berry-ish, refined Schramsberg Brut Rosé.</p>
    
    <p>“Diamonds Are Forever”: My favorite Bond wine moment ever is when he uses two assassins’ ignorance about Bordeaux to out and wipe out the dastardly duo. So the tippling tout is the earthy but elegant Chateau D’Argadens Bordeaux Superiore.</p>
    
    <p>Goldfinger”: For me (and countless others), this is the perfect Bond film: nonpareil villain, thug and “Bond girls.” So we need a near-perfect wine; let’s splurge and go with the always-stellar Chateau de Beaucastel Châteauneuf-du-Pape. - <a href="http://What%20wine%20goes%20with%20each%20James%20Bond%20movie?" rel="nofollow noreferrer">What wine goes with each James Bond movie?</a></p>

  Wine and movie pairing, although not a very popular item these days, some people seem to be into it.
