Black Label Movie Title Game

[Avril]

This game is intended to be on a maximum level of difficulty.

Paraphrase the title. Be creative with alternate meanings and colloquialisms. Solver gets to make the next puzzle.

First puzzle:

Shade/Flowers

[Sarcophitan]

[B]Darkness Falls[B]

[Avril]

Hey I thought you might've fallen down the plug hole!


Nope.

[Sarcophitan]

LOL. I feel that way sometimes

[Sarcophitan]

Heres a few guesses to make up for lost time.

Is it 'Shadow River', 'The Black Bunch', 'The Color of Honey', 'The Color of Water', 'Blind Eye', 'Blind Grace', or 'Ghost Writers'?

[Avril]

Good guesses! No to all of them.

You're half right on the first, sort of.

[skontht]

Black Dahlia.

[Avril]

Nope.

[Sarcophitan]

OK. A few more guesses.
'Color me Amber', 'The Color of Money', 'Hue and Cry', 'Colour Cry', 'The Shadowed Cry'

If none are correct, I need a hint

[Avril]

Ok, it is a tricky one.

It's a well-known foreign crime/thriller film that has since been remade in the US with a certain gritty dramatic actor and a certain usually comedic one.

The original has a very professional, versatile foreign actor who is fluent in English and is at home in many Hollywood films of varying genres.

In the title clue 'Shade/Flowers' the first is a colour. The second clue is more cryptic.

There're additional hidden clues in my third par.
