lavenderblue19 Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 Nope, not it either. The lead character in the film is well respected and is famous in the film. Not a bio- (the actor is very famous too, but I'm referring to the character) Does that make sense?- Having a hard morning here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DownGoesFrazier Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 That's what I was thinking, but how about the niece being presumed dead? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lavenderblue19 Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 6's- Both *The Firm* and *The Devil's Advocate* fit the clue- which one were you thinking about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmvgor Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 Thanks, Sixes. Having bounced off a Faustian theme, let's touch on some other literary wierdness. Blood-sucking rovers. They bite, and thus increase their numbers. And new "rules" about dealing with vampires. *Innocent Blood* brought out a new way of killing them, in addition to the usual burning, stake through the heart. direct sunlight, etc; A blast with a shotgun that severs the spinal cord. Well this isn't *Innocent Blood*, and that trick isn't mentioned. But it does add a few touches to vampire lore that I haven't run across in any other story context.

cmvgor Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 1980s. A few solid pro performers, but no blockbuster headliners. // A new twist I've never seen elswhere: You can "unmake" a vampire -- with the proper equipment and a complete change of blood!

cmvgor Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 (42,58) A seeming tribute to biker flicks: The marauders go into a neighborhood bar or cafe, provoke a fight, and escalate it into a riot, then a feast. In spite of the subject matter, this script never uses the word "vampire". Edited by: cmvgor on Jun 4, 2010 6:44 AM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmvgor Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 Setting: Small-town and rural South of 1980s. One of the characters was around to be on the losing side of the War Between the States. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmvgor Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 At some 40 Views, correct, Sixes. Lance Henriksen and Bill Paxton probably the best-known cast members. // Another never-seen-otherwise "Vampire Rule": They got around in daylight by driving in a van with all windows covered with aluminum foil, just a couple of small holes for the driver to see out. // And one cast member came back from being a vampire by using a veterinarian's gear to give himself a complete blood transfusion. I haven't paid any attention to the current vampire stories now running on Cable, but I don't think these innovations and conceits ever spread beyond that movie. Sixes' thread.

The Lady Eve Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 Thanks Mr.6?s (again) - Two men in love with the same woman during political upheaval, she loves only one. The other steps up and becomes a hero. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Lady Eve Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 Good guess, but no? The fellow who becomes heroic didn?t seem to be hero material earlier, though he was a decent man. But, so that the woman he loves will have a chance at happiness, he makes the ultimate selfless gesture? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mudskipper Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 Sounds like "A Tale Of Two Cities" by Dickens... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Lady Eve Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 That?s right, it?s Dickens? *A Tale of Two Cities*, in this case the 1935 film directed by Jack Conway and starring Ronald Colman as the self-sacrificing Sydney Carton.
