Can you imagine having William H. Macy as your babysitter?

My older Brother had Jerry Lewis as his baby sitter growing up

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

So after seeing it mentioned in this thread many times, I checked out Wait Until Dark, and it was indeed really good, especially those last fifteen minutes. I'm still recovering, holy crap.

P-C, please tell me you watched it with the lights out! That's how I saw it the first time (my sister knew that was the best way to introduce the film to someone), and those last fifteen minutes were amazingly suspenseful to watch in the pitch dark. I leaped about five feet out of my chair at the appropriate point, and everyone I've introduced the film to has had the same reaction.

Oh, the lights were totally out.

Holy crap, I was lying down, but I jumped into the back of the couch.

Yay!

Wait Until Dark is one of my favorite films to show to a newbie. If you try and describe it to someone who isn't an Audrey Hepburn fan or (worse yet), someone who doesn't like to watch "old films," they'll shrug it off as a lame sounding film. But that ending sequence gets them every time.

According to IMDb trivia, that was one of the first movies to pull the villain-isn't-really-dead trick. But I didn't expect it!
