Ok guys, what movies/tv shows do you use for motivation? What really gets you into the mindset and ready to play? World of Darkness always lists a set of 'based on' or 'themes' of movies/books/music to get you in the mood... How about one for Pathfinder?
I know when we were playing Ravenloft 1890's... a couple of would usually watch either Bram Stoker's Dracula, Mary Shelly's Frankenstein... or The illusionist (I was a stage magician ;))
How about regular games?
Lord of the Rings is always a win... And I just watched the Colin Farrel 'King Arthur' movie again, and realized what a Paladin he was... A knight who fought for the ideals of a country that didn't really exist...
Awesome :)
Any other good Paladin movies out there? How about ranger? Wizard? Other??
What do you guys do to get hyped for a new character?
Colin Farrel 'King Arthur' movie
Did you mean Clive Owen 'King Arthur' or Colin Farrell 'Alexander'?
Anyway, to answer your question, almost any movie can spark a character idea for me. One example, quite recently, came from watching Anne of the Indies. Watching how she fought Blackbeard, I found myself creating a character like her. High Dex, Improved Disarm, TWF, etc.....
It happens at random for me.

The Last of the Mohicans sets the mood for me.
Think there a lot more movies with main characters with paladin-like traits. Russell Crowe in Gladiator fits the paladin ideal for me and a great movie as well with plenty of great scenes especially the opening battle.
