1967's Wait Until Dark with Audrey Hepburn and Alan Arkin. No creatures, ghosts, or special effects. Just sheer "someone's in the house!" terror.

I have tried this without success for my husband, who spends hours each week looking for the keys, wallet, phone, etc that he's strewn about the house. Any suggestions on how to convince him that using a vide poche - a lovely bamboo bowl by the door, just for him - will help reduce his daily frustration?

Stainless steel ice cream scoop to neatly dole out uniform portions of cookie dough and cupcake batter if you're a baker. Spider skimmer/strainer to safely pluck things out of boiling liquid. And I heartily second the bench scraper - perfect for moving chopped veggies from the cutting board to the pan - and tongs.
