One of mr. flea's grad school colleagues had Sarah Jessica Parker as a babysitter.
You know, I've saved lives. Dozens. Maybe hundreds. I reattached a girl's leg. Her whole leg. She named her hamster after me. I got a hamster. He drops a box of money, he gets a town.

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

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!

That's the movie java and I saw at the Paramount with the (grown-up) little girl in the theater with us.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Audrey Hepburn usually isn't my cup of tea. But Wait Until Dark is phenomenal. Maybe not High Art, but a movie that decides what it wants to do and more than succeeds.
