Hi! I'm trying to just compile a list of movies (and maybe even other shows) that have inspired particular plotlines (or references) in "9-1-1" . This question was inspired by this article and I was wondering if there are more that aren't listed? Because I'm sure there was more, especially on the latest season. I tried to look for other threads but I couldn't find anything much.

Just for easier access, I'll list here what the article has already mentioned:

• “The Poseidon Adventure” in “Capsized” (7x3)
• “The Hangover” in “There Goes the Groom” (7x6)
• “Ocean’s Eleven” in “Ocean’s 9-1-1” (2x15)
• “Rear Window” in “There Goes the Neighborhood” (4x7)
• “The Birds” in “Monsters” (3x6)
• “Jurassic Park” in “Desperate Times” (5x2)
• “It’s a Wonderful Life” in “In Another Life” (6x11)
• “Speed” in “Outside Looking In” (5x11)
• “Die Hard” in “Trapped” (1x9) and “Merry Ex-Mas“ (2x10)
• “Say Anything” in “Buck, Actually” (2x8)
• “The Taking of Pelham One Two Three” in “The Taking of Dispatch 9-1-1” (3x14)
• “Backdraft” in “What’s Your Fantasy?” (6x8)
• “9 to 5” in “What’s Your Fantasy?” (6x8)
• “Conan the Barbarian” in the pilot (1x1)
• “Rambo” movies in the pilot (1x1)

Movie references that I've seen are mentioned on other threads/sources:

• "Vertigo" in "Ashes, Ashes" (7x9)
• "Misery" in "Mother's Boy" (9x13)
• "Jaws" in New Beginnings" (2x11)
• "Double Indemnity" in "Ghost Stories" (5x7)
• "Strange Days" in "Dosed" (2x6)
• "Love, Actually" in "Buck, Actually" (2x8)

I'm going to make a list on Letterboxd with all of these, if anyone's going to be interested!
