Inspiration from scenes in movies / TV?

[Dreamerman77]

One of my newest stories got started when I saw a scene from a Danish series called Queen of Hearts (Original title Dronningen). Story about stepmother who falls for her stepson. Quite explicit for TV, especially the scene I used in my story.

Anyone else got inspiration from movies / TV shows? I'd like to hear from where?
And when I'm talking about movies, I don't mean porn "movies" or scenes.

Pretty much any "almost kiss" scene involving characters that are reluctantly working together.

Not a scene, but a character. I have half a plot bunny stirring in me, maybe for the crime event, very loosely inspired Rene Russo's character in Thomas Crown.

I am also thinking about one from Hellen Mirren's character in RED. Neither would be fanfic, but I like strong, intelligent women characters and they were both fun.

Most of my ideas come from seeing real people and imagining scenarios for them.

inspired Rene Russo's character in Thomas Crown.

Oh yeah, I can see the inspiration in her person and character. I'd like to read that story.

Kind of off the erotic track, but there is a scene in the series Band of Brothers, in which the soldiers are in the Ardennes Forest during the Battle of the Bulge and German artillery shells are exploding in the tree tops, showering them with deadly debris.

When I wrote the scene in If Only In My Dreams when the returning soldier has a nightmare about his experiences in the war, that was what came to me. In his dream of being home for Christmas, the image of the Christmas tree morphs into the deadly exploding trees.
