As an aspiring author, obviously my own life and the people and events in it have come into play as inspiration. But as someone who loves entertainment, I draw inspiration from that as well.

Here are some movies that have influenced my writing...

Some of them are more inspirational than others, but even if they are inspirational in the TINIEST way they're gonna show up here.

I like MOST of the films on this list, but there are some exceptions like "Beowulf" and "The Room" that have SOME inspirational elements even though I DON'T like them. It's the same way for the lists of TV shows, novels, and music that have influenced my writing.
