** Paramedic of ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid3'' fame loves trashy B-movies and describes their plots to Snake in ways appropriate for the setting at that point.
** [[VideoGame/MetalGearSolid2 Raiden]] [[VideoGame/MetalGearRisingRevengeance himself]] is just as big of a cinema buff, though arguably inclined more towards quality films. This has a somewhat darker connotation when it turns out that one of his tortures as a child was to watch 'Hollywood movies every night... the kind with macho guys and big guns. They called it "image training".'

* Michael [=DeSanta=] from ''Videogame/GrandTheftAutoV'', who is a self-described fan of "Classic [[NoCommunitiesWereHarmed Vinewood]]" and can be seen nerding out over movie quotes whenever he interacts with his directing idol Solomon Richards towards the end of the game. Also, his [[CatchPhrase signature phrase]] [[YouDidntSeeThat "You forget a thousand things every day. Make sure this is one of them."]] being from an old movie becomes a minor plot.

* In ''VisualNovel/{{Last Chance in Xollywood}}'', Jarl is this and possibly also an UnabashedBMovieFan. He wants to get a job in movie making and/or movie directing because he loves movies of all kinds, and throughout the whole game he will reference all kinds of bizarre alien flicks and compare whatever happens while working on ''Love Dies Screaming'' to them.

* Of the Toys/{{Squishmallows}}, Georgios' bio-entry reads as follows:
-->''"Georgios watches good movies and bad movies with the same enthusiasm! He has a rule to finish every movie he starts even when he feels it's not his speed. Georgios thinks bad movies can be fun in a different way since he learns a lot about storytelling! Meet Georgios tonight at the theater to check out a new flick."''

* Hardison from ''Series/{{Leverage}}'' is such a ''Franchise/StarTrek'' fan that he devises a coded message system for when he and Eliot have to communicate in front of their marks. Eliot rolls his eyes, but it comes in handy later. In "[[Recap/LeverageS04E09TheCrossMyHeartJob The Cross My Heart Job]]," the team have to split up in an airport terminal and Eliot is unable to reach Hardison via their usual ear-bud comms. Desperate to warn his friend of danger, he has "Kirk Picard" paged over the loudspeaker.

* ''Theatre/TheFlick'': Avery says that cinema is his life and he isn't kidding. He's the kind of film snob that says America hasn't produced a great movie since ''Film/PulpFiction'' (ironic given how recent that movie is). He sneers with derision when Sam talks about how much he liked ''Film/{{Avatar}}''. Avery's a purist who thinks films should only be shown on film rather than digital. And he has an encyclopedic knowledge of films that allows him to play SixDegreesOfKevinBacon with demonic skill.

* VirtualYoutuber Korone Inugami from ''WebAnimation/{{Hololive}}'' says her hobby is watching movies in her debut, and she's not kidding about that. Korone has incredible knowledge of both eastern and western films and not only has seen hundreds of movies, her memory is fantastic, allowing her to call on them for references or making highly detailed remarks on on the unique qualites of what she has seen at the drop of a hat. While her favorite genre is gory TorturePorn slaughter horror films like ''Film/{{Hostel}}'' and the ''Franchise/{{Saw}}'' series, she'll watch damn near anything from any genre and will frequently use movies as a point of reference for all kinds of conversations and situations during her streams.
