Movies that inspired your erotica

Surprised nobody has mentioned Wild Orchid. Or L'Amante (The Lover). Those two are I think the most erotic movies I've watched.
 
Going a completely different direction here. My Laresa stories from the chain were almost all movie inspired.

Ch. 5 ( aka Outlaw's Redemption ) is heavily inspired by "Unforgiven" with a splash of "Blazing Saddles".

Ch. 10 ( aka The Blinding White ) owes its origin to "Balto"

Ch. 15 ( aka Deified ) springs from "El Dorado"

Ch. 20 ( aka Marked for Vengeance ) arose out of "Muppet Treasure Island"

Ch. 24 ( aka Finding the Key ) is "The Sword in the Stone"

Noticing a pattern here... LOL Most of them came from the movies my son was watching on a regular basis at the time. If I'm remembering right, I openly acknowledged Deified's connection by having a character humming the theme song... Or maybe singing a couple of lines.

There are others, I'm sure. Those just happened to all be connected. By the end, it was something I was doing on purpose, because I liked the continuity beneath the continuity.
 
When writing an erotic story, it doesn't matter what kind and I need a bit of a boost to keep my mind in that place I go when writing, I always draw on one scene. That is the Sara Miles masturbation scene in, "The Sailor Who Fell From Grace with the Sea".


Comshaw
 
  • Sin City - Nancy (Jessica Alba) as a stripper
  • 300 - Leonidas takes his queen and the oracle scene
  • The 5th Element - Leeloo getting wrapped. She's got perfect sized breasts IMHO
  • Deadpool - Deadpool and Vanessa
  • Carnival Row (TV series) - The scene with Cara Delevigne and Orlando Bloom fucking
  • Dark City - Jennifer Connelly ('nuff said)

Some scenes or actors just stick with me and influence my characters or random scenes downstream.
 
"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.


In the 1972 film The Last Tango In Paris, the Paul (Played by Marlon Brando) rapes Jeanne (played by Maria Schneider) using butter as a lubricant. While the rape is simulated, Schneider has said the scene still had a tremendously negative effect on her.

the upside, they had a happy affair until Paul fell in love with her, told her his name, and asked her what her name was. Jeanne takes a gun from a drawer. She tells Paul her name and shoots him. Paul staggers out onto the balcony, mortally wounded, and collapses. As Paul dies, Jeanne, dazed, mutters to herself that he was just a stranger who tried to rape her and she did not know who he was, as if in a rehearsal, preparing herself for questioning by the police.

So no, Body Heat, while sizzling hot, wasn't the first main stream movie with anal sex in it.

While it did receive an X rating here, the film was intended as a main stream film and wasn't treated with the harshest ratings elsewhere.

Hi -- Thank you for your thoughts. Yes, you are right about "Last Tango" and I certainly gave it some thought in my comments. That is why I was very careful in my language and said, "major motion picture studio." "Body Heat" was an Alan Ladd, Jr production for Warner Brothers. A Laurence Kasden's script and his directorial debut coming off of writing "Star Wars" and the first "Indiana Jones." Warners paid for the production of the movie. The funding for the production budget came from Warners

"Last Tango" was an independent foreign production that was picked up for distribution by United Artists Classic. The funding was independent investors. By 1972 United Artists was pretty much a non-studio making money on its library and distribution system. It was revitalized around 1986 by financier Kirk Kerkorian. Coincidentally, my wife was the 3rd hire for the new UA.

Indie vs. major studio. There is a difference in the film world.

That's an interesting subtlety (and thanks for providing it). It's an insider's view, and probably the ticket sales would support the difference between the two markets. I'd suggest, though, that most histories of the cinema would regard Last Tango as the more influential movie sexual content wise, because it was earlier (14 years, I see from your post), more controversial, with a leading director at the time, and of course Brando.

As a movie buff, and someone who enjoyed Body Heat a lot, I couldn't even tell you there was a mention of anal in that movie, whereas the butter scene from Tango is memorable. Mind you, it was rated R here in Oz (over eighteen to see it), and I got someone to buy me a ticket because I was about sixteen when I first saw it. It became a popular art movie here in Oz and would circulate through the cinemas every couple of years. I'm wondering what it would have been screened with (we'd always get double features). Good old Hoyts.

I totally agree with you that "Last Tango" was much more important artistically, and its impact on film history. It was a gigantic artistic nuclear bomb that shook up and stirred (in a good way, in my opinion) Hollywood for years. A game changer in many ways. And yes, with anyone else besides Brando it would not have had the impact that it did.

I mentioned "Body Heat" because there is so much nudity, so much sex, and it is so front and center in the story telling. It also cemented William Hurt's stardom, made Kathleen Turner's career, and helped Ted Danson leap to the next level in his career. It also launch Kasden as an A-List director. The film reeks sex from beginning to end.

(Kasden's next "The Big Chill" was also a movie about sex, even though most would say it was about 30-somethings. But the engine that drives the entire piece is Mary Kay Place needs to get fucked and become pregnant.)
 
Here are a few movies:

Eyes Wide Shut – I love that scene where Nicole Kidman is dancing with that older man in the room with that golden light. It is such a beautiful scene. I like the rather forceful way he tries to seduce Nicole. I also like the corresponding scene where Tom Cruise is being “dragged off to bed” by the two beautiful younger women. The orgy scene and Tom’s travels through the night were interesting. I loved the part where Tom holds Nicole and she describes her cruel dream to him.

Body Heat and Basic Instinct – I like film noir and neo-noir type movies with femme fatale heroines or “anti-heroines.” I like Kathleen Turner, Sharon Stone and Leilani Sarelle. I think I have a bug in my brain for sexy dangerous women…

Concussion – a beautiful woman, Robin Weigert, plays a lesbian who starts turning tricks, as a high class prostitute, taking good care of other women. She is attached to a partner, so she is cheating, but the movie is so hot.

Unfaithful – with Diane Lane and Richard Gere. A good cheating movie. Diane Lane is so beautiful in this one. I liked the bathroom scene where she fucks her younger lover. The story ends in violence and then I assume with him confessing to the police.

There are others as well, but I can’t remember them. I like Isabelle Huppert and Julianne Moore. I think they are good at playing amoral cool types, who are just so seductive. I like Maura Tierney, Eva Green and Helen McCrory as well.

The TV show which really put the hook in me was the first season of The Girlfriend Experience with Riley Keough. Oh boy, I loved her cool calm exterior. I liked the original L word as well.

Okay, enough for now…
 
Just thought of a few more, after the exchange 'twixst Homedawg and myself earlier.

Night Porter directed by Liliana Cavani, 1974. With Dirk Bogarde and Charlotte Rampling. A concentration camp survivor rekindles her sadomasochistic relationship with her lover, a former SS officer - now working as a night porter at a Vienna hotel.

Swimming Pool directed by François Ozon, 2003. Charlotte Rampling again, with Ludivine Sagnier. Rampling plays a novelist working at her publisher' summer house in France. She is interrupted by Sagnier's character, swimming in the pool. All sorts of sexual undercurrents going on...

Frederico Fellini's Satyricon from 1969, doing an early version of Bob Guccione's priceless Caligula - and with Helen Mirren and Malcolm McDowell, we all expected better things from that!

Oh my yes. "Night Porter." Sizzling. Probably couldn't be made today with all of the abuse and rape.

Wasn't it just, but then... Charlotte Rampling. She and Theresa Russell where probably my "hottest" actresses back in the day. Nowadays, Florence Pugh is a newcomer who has a seething something going on - although she's younger than my daughter, so that's a bit wrong.

Theresa Russell reminds me of "Wild Things." That's a hot movie. A sizzling three-way between Matt Dillon, Denise Richards and Neve Campbell. Kevin Bacon gratuitously shows his large cock in a shower scene, and Theresa is fucking Robert Wagner, who is real life was lucky enough to fuck Natalie Woods.

The problem with Theresa is she can't act her way out of a paper bag. Denise Richards was a Heidi Fleiss girl and Charlie Sheen's favorite. That's how she got her start.

Back to writing, It also has a wonderful script. Well written with a lot of twist.
 
The 1996 film Crash (not to be confused with what I thought was the completely undeserving 2004 Oscar-winning movie of the same name) was about people who got an erotic thrill from being involved in car crashes. They'd stage car crashes. People would be horribly injured. And they found the whole thing very erotic.

I had mixed feelings about this movie, but it inspired me in this way: I don't personally understand how this is erotic. I doubt the director David Cronenberg did, either. The point is that you can fetishize and make almost anything erotic. It's a mind-opener. It opens a window into an entirely different way of seeing things. The fetish is never fully explained. It just is. I think getting that point is a really crucial thing with erotica.

As I write stories, I don't just keep my story-writing within the boundaries of my own erotic interests. I have no personal interest in incest, for instance, but I have always found the stories interesting and fun, and I like to write them. Erotica is a great way to explore new frontiers. Some movies have opened my eyes to those frontiers.
 
The Unbearable Lightness of Being still inspires me.

So many great scenes. When Juliette Binoche first visits Daniel Day-Lewis in Prague (and jumps him) is magical :)

There is a disturbing little known horror film called Cannibal which fetishizes cannibalism. A man puts an ad on the dark web he wants to consume someone so they will always be part of him and...some person volunteers(think that person might be the sicker of the two)

a seriously tough movie to get through, not gory at all until the end, but its done so realistically., and supposedly based on a real event.
 
Speaking of disturbing fetishes, does anyone remember back when Bret Easton Ellis could have been the screenwriter for 50 Shades? I sometimes think about that and feel a sense of loss that this was a thing we could have had and we don’t have it. I don’t know how much cocaine he was doing at that time, but I feel like it was enough to make things interesting. It probably wouldn’t have been erotic, though.

Another movie I remember liking was King Cobra with James Franco, although it was more of a weird thriller.

This is another one that isn’t exactly erotic, but Netflix had this show called Bonded, if I remember correctly. I couldn’t get into things like Secretary, but I could get into that show. Mostly because I felt like the tone was fitting for a professional Dominatrix in some of those scenes.
 
Miranda, a gently-erotic movie by Tinto Brass. Worth a watch (in my gentle opinion).

The guy who did direct the first Shades movie did a great job, he portrayed Gray as a creepy POS. It caused no spike in books sales which movies generally do, and it sent the studio hiring another guy for #'s 2/3 which tried to show Gray in a better light....2/3 were direct to video flops(or at least 3 was, 2 might have been a theater flop) I think the people who Romanticized the character in the book was shown an actual glimpse of what he was...I agree Ellis would have taken that up several notches and gone down to Salo level.

But if we're going to talk disturbing and something involving sex/porn industry, then nothing tops A Serbian Film.

If anyone here is a horror buff, you're familiar with the "video nasty's list" I have seen just about every movie that routinely makes the top 50 or so and this was probably the worst through and through. Think 8mm on absolute uncensored steroids

The Tinto Brass short film Ultima Metro is, to me, like a perfect film version of a Literotica story. I highly recommend it. It's easy to find online.

A young man is waiting for a subway train when an attractive woman shows up on the opposite side of the subway track. They have some flirtatious glances and then she begins to do a striptease for him while they both wait for their train.
