YA TV Shows, Movies that help inspire you?

Titan A.E was a huge inspiration for me ^_^

Veronica Mars, the first season. But do yourself a favor and skip the second and third!

There are some good episodes in the second season, and the season finale had some high points, but I still have two words for you: Coma Baby. ::shudder::

I'm trying to think of movies but I'm coming up blank. Personally, I HATED Juno.

Okay, I loved Juno.

Ones that haven't been named...

MOVIES
Charlie Bartlett
Superbad (I know some people will get angsty about this. I liked it.)
Into the Wild

TV Shows
Degrassi
Boy Meets World

I could go on a tirade about everything I hate about Juno, but my brain might explode. (Sidenote: Despite that, I do still love Jason Bateman to death.)

I loved Boy Meets World growing up so much. Also, My So Called Life was brilliant (and sadly short-lived). Oh, and That 70's Show-- yes, it's set in the seventies, but a lot of the character traits/issues are universal. Plus, it's hilarious.

Oh, My So Called Life was pure brilliance, no doubt.

BOY MEETS WORLD! AHHHH!

For some reason, the first thing I remembered from Boy Meets world was when Cory lets the chickens loose in the hallway as a prank and is running around all, "Look! Chickens in the hallway!", and no one cares.

Anywho...I liked Juno, but I don't think it's a good example of typical teen vernacular. Maybe a subset, but not your average teen off the street.

The whole genre of French films.
The first few minutes of Transporter 2 inspired my novel about a bodyguard.
But Jean Reno inspires me the most

Oops, sorry, I missed the YA bit of the posting, my inspirations are more like old age

Oh yeah, Exo-Squad too. It woke me up to the idea you can do "adult" things in a "Children" slot.

I mean, Ex-Squad is a "children" cartoon show that essentially recounts the Eastern Front of WWII in Space. Complete with the Holocaust. And it handled it in a tasteful way...

The only flaws were the fact that A) The animation was low quality and B) The art direction was...INCREDIBLY cheesy. I mean..."We shall crush the resistance" <gets squished> "And sometimes, the resistance crushes you." Nrgh.

But still...it was quite cool and I was like, "whoa...this is a kids show, and they're dumping old and infirm people into the SUN. Awesome! Giant robots! Sweet!

Oh, and then there was this other show that totally inspired me when it came to sci-fi...but I HAVE NO GODDAMN IDEA WHAT IT WAS CALLED!

I watched it when I was quite young, and it was about...these five super intelligent chimpanzees living in a space ship. Chimps in Space? No, that wasn't it. I don't know. I just know that, looking back at my faded memories, I remember Alien and Star Trek references.

OH and Animaniacs.

Animaniacs Ffing own ^_^
