Scott Bakula stars as Harry D’Amour, a hardboiled private eye who specializes in occult crimes and is drawn into an incredibly strange case involving a supernatural death cult and the murder of a prominent stage magician. The resulting film is one of the most criminally overlooked films of the decade. A few years later, Barker took to adapting one of his own short stories, “The Last Illusion” (from 1985’s “Books of Blood” Volume 6). It was a sizable enough hit to spawn a franchise and to make Barker, the writer/director of 1987’s “Hellraiser,” hot again. In 1992 one of Clive Barker’s stories, called “The Forbidden,” was excellently adapted into “Candyman” by British filmmaker Bernard Rose. Heartwarming, hilarious and rich in character, “Paper Moon” is a classic for a reason. Directed by Peter Bogdanovich, the film takes place during the Great Depression and stars real-life father and daughter Ryan and Tatum O’Neal as a con man and orphan who team up when the con man agrees to take the young girl from Gotham, Kansas to St. If you’re in the mood for a classic, 1973’s road trip comedy “Paper Moon” holds up tremendously well.
