Scent of a Woman (1992)

Squealing on classmates is one of life's simple pleasures, but Chris O'Donnell won't do it. He plays a student on scholarship at an exclusive New England prep school who gets a job staying with incredibly obnoxious blind guy Al Pacino while his niece and her family go away for Thanksgiving. Pacino drags him off to New York.

Pacino's niece guilt trips O'Donnell into taking the job. If it had been me, I would have walked away. I would have felt guilty for a minute, then tremendous relief.

And, later, when Al Pacino announces he's going to kill himself, I would have called 911 and walked away then, too, felt guilty for a minute. Then pure relief.
