1. Wait Until Dark (1967)
Coming in at #1 is the movie that I saw two years after my first scary movie. This one I like to use on dates and Halloween and any time I need a really good jump. I once went on a triple date with two girls who had seen the movie and three guys who hadn't and we got our thrills from how well they imitated sopranos at the end. Audrey Hepburn plays a blind woman whose husband accidentally brings back a doll stuffed with heroin from Canada. He's at work when the drug dealers come to try and retrieve the doll, first by tricking her into revealing its whereabouts and then terrorising her into giving it to them. I have three letters for you: A. D. A. The American with Disabilities Act should have been all over the plot of this movie. It's bad enough that they're going for the defenceless woman, but the defenceless woman is blind. Surely someone could have stopped this from becoming artistic filmmaking. Like this article?

That's Kaki pronounced like the pants, thank you very much, my family nickname and writing name. I am a Red Sox-loving, Doctor Who-quoting, Shaara-reading walking string quartet of a Mormon writer from Boston. I currently work 40 hours at a stressful desk job with a salary that lets me pick up and travel to places like Ireland or Philadelphia. I have no husband or kids, but I have five nephews to keep me entertained. When not writing, working or eating too much Indian food, I'm always looking for something new to learn, whether it's French or family history.
