A witty battle of the sexes with elements of comedies of remarriage, reminiscent of old Hollywood screwballs and sex comedies. 

This version of The Parent Trap emphasizes the comedy of remarriage aspect through references to My Favorite Wife.

Plot inspired by a plot twist in Something Wild.

Itself inspired by Bringing Up Baby. Similar ‘80’s movies include Who’s That Girl and After Hours. 

Invented the timeloop trope as we know it. 

Other comedies of remarriage include The Philadelphia Story, My Favorite Wife, The Palm Beach Story, Love Crazy, and their countless remakes. 

Play loosely inspired by Pride & Prejudice, The Taming of the Shrew, and A Midsummer’s Night’s Dream.

Based off of The Taming of the Shrew.

A gender bent adaptation of The Front Page. Switching Channels is a direct remake. 

Both films are fairytale deconstructions inspired by Tristan & Isolde, which also inspired Vertigo and Mulan/Aurora’s romance in Once Upon a Time. 

Lord Farquaad is inspired by Prince Humperdinck.

Inspired countless remakes and the blueprint for romantic comedies such as, Roman Holiday, It’s a Wonderful World, The Philadelphia Story, and Leap Year. 

Both are based off of the play The Parfumerie, which also inspired the MGM musical In the Good Old Summertime and the Broadway musical She Loves Me.
