Movies that inspired your erotica

Fun topic. Nicole Kidman's To Die For wasn't the first time I was attracted to a female teacher archetype, but it was, at the time, one of the sexier takes on one I'd seen. I'm also going to just say all the Monica Bellucci films. Just... all of them. Kinda the same with Heather Graham, but especially Killing Me Softly. Not so much for the goofy BDSM stuff in that movie, but more the cheating and seduction of an otherwise innocent woman bored with her life.

This is an odd one, but it just came to me before I submitted this post. Jennifer Connolly's Career Opportunities. For one, she's stunning in that, the kind of beautiful that punches you in the gut the rest of your life. And second, as pertains to my work, that odd couple pairing is pretty cliched but works well for a reason.
 
My Cookie-Baking Sister was inspired by Disney's animated version of Beauty and the Beast. When I finish my current story, the next story I'll probably write is loosely inspired by Tangled.
 
I think 2 films that really inspired some exciting erotic thoughts for me wernt 50 shades but the secretary and alien movies with sigourney weaver,,ellen ripley is gorgeous so sexy
 
Just remembered this one, The Vampire Lovers (1970) a story based on the novella Carmilla and part of what is called, the Vampire Trilogy, which begins with Vampire Lovers and is followed by Lust for a Vampire (1971) and Twins of Evil (1971). I watched all three with Pop's last week but have watched then many times over the years. These movies are raw sensual and filled with suggestive, if not out right sexual, scenes.

Two Buxom Beauties Ingrid Pitt and Madeline Smith are the Vampire lovers. I first saw this film shortly after moving in with my parents when I was in foster care. Oh, my god, talk about an awaking.

My Pops was a bit, um, miffed I watched the movie without asking permission. But quickly realized it was no big deal. However, to me the thing was monumental, the movie awakened my curiosity and not about boys.

On a personal side note, big boobies aren't my thing, but women are. Or rather a woman is.
 
I find particular characters create a spark in me, so Viggo Mortensen in pretty much anything, which includes, bizarrely perhaps LOTR. Buffy was just mentioned TY and some characters in the Star Trek series - Ooops both TV and not films. The original Blade Runner caught my attention too with several characters hitting the spot for me.

So I'll take their characteristics and morph them into my stories. If I get lost in the way my writing is going, they provide a useful touchstone for reference to guide me back and keep my own characters consistent.
 
In my (non erotic) writing, one of my novels that was published 2 decades ago - in a pre-Kindle pre-Nook era, when getting published still meant something :) I used part of the "Three Days Of The Condor" plot.

Robert Redford is on the run and kidnaps Faye Dunaway, but they become an item. I used that basic idea as a sub-plot in my story. It worked well.

As always, the book "Six Days Of The Condor" was better than the movie - but obviously revolved around the same basic plot.
 
No actress will ever replace my attraction to Hayley Mills, especially in "In Search of the Castaways."

She was hot, I agree.

My personal goddess was Julie Christie (Doctor Zhivago, among others).
 
I'm sure bits and pieces of many movies have influenced my writing on a subconscious level. The only movie I can definitively point to as directly inspiring a story here, though, is Teen Wolf. No...nothing to do with werewolves. Just a scene early in the movie when two leads at a party are pushed into a closet together to make out. Tweaked that and turned it into a scenario for a challenge to create a "plausible incest situation."
 
Anybody remember the insanely stupid 1977 romp-a-thon 'Young Lady Chatterley'?
 
I was never into the Twilight movies but Kristen Stewart was at the height of her popularity while I was at the height of my impressionability. :D I associate her with sexy and erotic.

TV probably influenced my sexuality/writing more. Way back, we were also big 'Alias' fans, so there was Jennifer Garner being a total badass… Also, 'Desperate Housewives' fascinated me — just people living in the suburbs who are moderately sexually adventurous.

But, if we’re being honest, I’d have to point to this DVD called Baby Doll Bodyguards with Eve Laurence or Asa Akira’s whole filmography. :D
 
Kat Dennings in Thor and Krysten Ritter in She's Out Of My League both played a role in helping inform a FMC's funny, sharp, protective, and acerbic best friend in one of my stories.
 
I was going to leave a joke comment about being inspired by "The Hills Have Eyes," or "The Grudge," but that seems a bit gratuitous.

I think my earliest inspiration came from Samantha Eggar in her Victorian underwear in the 1967 classic "Dr. Dolittle." I won't divulge how old I was at the time, for obvious reasons, I'll just say it was a relatively new movie the first time I saw it.

What's not to like? :D

Emmanuelle

I’m more of a book/lit guy, but if I think about films that impacted me, I’d have to go with early Emmanuelle movies starring Sylvia Kristel. Those movies, about a married woman having sex with strangers, probably do influence my writing.

Having said that, I should probably go back and rewatch them just to be sure.
 
I'm a little surprised (almost disappointed really) that no one has mentioned 'The Rocky Horror Picture Show'

Susan Sarandon was so young, so cute, so innocent looking...
 
So many years ago, on I think the LandMark Network (a movie network owned by LandMark Theaters and a film producer) Dad and I watched a move about 3 people in an apartment building. Not all that sexy yet is it. Well, on one floor lived a young woman, one flight up, sharing the same fire-escape, was a man 10 to fifteen years older than her. One flight down, still using the same fire-escape, was man about year older than her. They all had a strange sexual relationship with each other. The man above is fucking her, the man below is also having sex with her. And the two men occasionally have sex as well.

One of the men is a serial killer, the other is a serial rapist, while the woman is caught between them, literally. The young woman is also fucking the upstairs neighbors, next door neighbor, a forty something woman who has come into a new sexual awaking.

One particularly strange scene is a man, in masking, doggy fucking a woman, in the alley, they zoom in for the close up, her body is being violently violated and her arms are flaying about and you realize she's dead. Serial Killer, but it isn't reveled who he is.

It is a somewhat episodic thriller. You don't know which man is which and aren't sure when you see a scene if the rapist is raping or the serial killer is fucking a corpse. And things don't become clear in the end. For the woman upstairs is raped and murdered after the serial killer, or who you believe the serial killer is, and again, you can't tell who is doing the mistreatment.

At the end of the story, the rapist (or who we think is the rapist) is being arrested for his neighbors murder. They ask where the cat is? He says he didn't hurt the woman and he doesn't know what happened to her or the cat.

Cut to the ending, the young woman, who is tall, thin with small breast and little shape, is playing with the missing cat, there are several different strap-ons with varying didos.

"That was wickedly twisted," my dad said. "I liked it, but strange. What'd you think, Millie?"

I told him it was okay, but the truth was it was hot as fucking hell to me.

Cant remember the name of the movie. I know it wasn't a wide release, when we watched it on TV it was a day and date with the theater release (which is weird for a guy that owned movie theaters to do)
 
Not a movie, a TV show: Buffy The Vampire Slayer. Spike doing Buffy from behind up on the balcony in the Bronze? Rowrrrrrr....

I was going to say Buffy too, they handled sex and dynamics so well in that show

I use porn for practical logistics of what goes where. But I have used specific porn starts to inspire some writing. Like one male artist doesn’t blink as he sinks into a scene. I couldn’t put my finger on what it was about him so watched many clips, which is difficult as male faces are not often shown in porn. Then I realised it was his unblinking stare and at the other actors never the camera. That inspired a whole character
 
I think I get inspired more by scenes or images than an actual full movie. And I think this also depends on what I’m writing at the time. For instance, I don’t know if anyone else watched a movie called Swordfish, but there’s a certain scene that I really want to recreate in a gentler style.

There’s also a certain Grease image of Olivia Newton-John stepping out a cigarette and pressing a red high heel to John Travolta’s chest that’s in the back of my head too, for a femdom story.
 
The Hunger with Sarandon and Bowie was the first movie I saw that the word erotic came to mind as opposed to the porn I'd watched up until then(on VHS of course)

The movie was the first time I recalled seeing Horror and erotica as a combination. Yes, there were the 70's Dracula movies that got a little pervy, but they had too much of an exploitation 'look at this!' feel to it, to forced, The Hunger it was just perfectly blended together

"Body Heat" is on Turner Classic Movies tonight. Now that is one fucking hot movie! The first major motion picture studio to include -- or imply -- an anal sex scene. The entire movie sizzles.
