One other modern movie that comes to mind is The Muse, with Albert Brooks and Sharon Stone, who respectively play a writer and his free-spirited, increasingly-demandiing muse "on-retainer." Sharp, sharp wit and social satire. There is one scene where you may want to cover Arthur's eyes, in which Stone's character prepares to sleep in the nude with Andie MacDowell (who portrays Brooks's wife), but MacDowell's shocked reaction is priceless -- more than worth the rental fee, on its own.
