Wait Until Dark needs to be brought up more.

I know-- I freaking adore that movie and probably have every line memorized. I still can't believe the critics sh*t on Arkin's performance when that came out.

It's actually a comfort movie for me. I think it's Hepburn's house that does it for me.

Yeah, I feel the same way. I love that little apartment and the sheer 60s-ness of the clothes and setting.

He was in "All the President's Men"? I don't remember him in that already stellar cast.
