Line #18 Main/TheMovieBuff


1	->''"I like movies because they're like life. All the shots, all the clumsy takes...all the impossible number of angles there are to consider. And, naturally, trying to guess the ending, how it all works out."''
2	-->-- ''ComicBook/CinemaPurgatorio'' #17, written by Creator/AlanMoore.
3
4	One of the defining traits of this particular character is their movie lore. This character will compare nearly ''everything'' to a scene from a movie. While this character might be GenreSavvy (or WrongGenreSavvy), it's not a requirement.
5
6	Additionally, TheMovieBuff usually knows all about Oscar nominees, Oscars won, actors, directors, Emmy awards, how a movie was received, who the screenwriter and editors were. Some [[{{geek}} film geeks]] may get obsessed with [[{{Camera Fiend}} lenses, film cameras]], and film editing. They may be a budding film student or media studies student.
7
8	This is usually a source of pride for said character but can sometimes be a source of chagrin for the rest of the cast.
9
10	Their knowledge is likely to be used for humor more often than it is used as a plot point.
11
12	Compare: SawStarWarsTwentySevenTimes, UnabashedBMovieFan. See TheGenieKnowsJackNicholson for characters that know ''our'' movies while living in a fantasy setting.

15	!!Examples:
16	[[foldercontrol]]
17	[[folder:Anime & Manga]]
18	* Rabbit Team from ''Anime/GirlsUndPanzer''.
19	* Togata from ''Manga/FirePunch'' is one. She was born before the Ice Witch froze over the world and really loved movies during that time. Due to the mutation she was born with, she has become long-lived and now lives in a world that rarely has electricity, much less any movies. Now, her ultimate goal in life is to turn the conflict between Agni and his targets into one final movie, playing both sides to film the most interesting story she can, even if no one will ever watch it. She is also very knowledgeable about Western movies, name dropping films such as ''Film/VanillaSky''.
20	** The mysterious girl [[spoiler:who looks like Agni's dead sister]] is also a film fan as well. In fact, her whole motivation is to [[spoiler:reset the human race and get it back to the point right before the world froze over, just so she can finally watch the final ''Franchise/StarWars'' movie, which got canceled.]]
21	[[/folder]]
22
23	[[folder:Comic Books]]
24	* The Film Freak from the ''Franchise/{{Batman}}'' comics.
25	* ComicBook/{{Nightcrawler}} of the ''ComicBook/XMen''. He learned sword-fighting largely because of his love of Errol Flynn.
26	[[/folder]]
27
28	[[folder:Fan Works]]
29	* ''WebVideo/SwordArtOnlineAbridged'':
30	** [[BigBad Akihiko Kayaba]] kicks off the series by comparing the players' [[TheMostDangerousVideoGame situation]] to ''Film/{{TRON}}'', but is irritated when [[PopCulturalOsmosisFailure they're too young to have seen the film]]. He eventually resorts to playing a clip from ''Film/{{Scanners}}'' to make his point about the [[YourHeadAsplode consequences]] of their characters' HP hitting zero.
31	** Guild leader Heathcliff also likes to drop movie quotes like [[Film/DrStrangelove "you can't fight in here, this is the war room!"]] and [[Film/DirtyHarry "go ahead, make my day."]] Again, most players don't get them.
32	** Finally, Kirito is a PopCulturedBadass able to quote a variety of TV shows, literature, and even classic movies like ''Film/DuckSoup''. [[spoiler:The fact that he's the only one who gets Heathcliff's movie references is what lets him [[SpottingTheThread make the connection]] that he and Kayaba are the same person.]]
33	* The ''Fanfic/TokimekiPokeLiveAndTwinbee'' version of Shizuku Osaka is also a movie buff just like her canon counterpart.
34	[[/folder]]
35
36	[[folder:Films -- Animation]]
37	* Katie Mitchell from ''WesternAnimation/TheMitchellsVsTheMachines'' is an aspiring filmmaker who just got accepted to the film school of her dreams, so it's only natural she'd be this. She tends to make references and comparisons to movies, like ''Film/MadMax'' or ''[[Film/DawnOfTheDead1978 Dawn of the Dead]]'', and many of her own films' titles are references to other movies (including older or more obscure ones like ''Film/BeingThere'' or ''Film/AuHasardBalthazar'').
38	[[/folder]]
39
40	[[folder:Films -- Live-Action]]
41	* ''Film/{{Scream}}'':
42	** Randy Meeks in the [[Film/Scream1996 first]] [[Film/Scream2 two]] films. His knowledge of the horror genre makes him the series' MetaGuy who comments on how the killer is structuring the killing spree around SlasherMovie cliches.
43	** The [[Film/Scream4 fourth]] and [[Film/Scream2022 fifth]] films respectively introduce Kirby Reed and Mindy Meeks-Martin as Randy's {{Distaff Counterpart}}s. Mindy, as her name suggests, is [[GenerationXerox Randy's niece]].
44	** The series has also served up villainous examples of this trope. In the [[Film/Scream2 second film]], [[spoiler:Mickey is a horror buff who wants to get caught so that he can [[IfItBleedsItLeads get a sensational trial]], specifically by telling the court and the MoralGuardians that [[MurderSimulators his love of violent movies made him a killer]] so that he can get sympathy, FifteenMinutesOfFame, and a lenient sentence]]. In the [[Film/Scream2022 fifth film]], [[spoiler:Richie and Amber are {{Loony Fan}}s of the ''Stab'' films (''Scream''[='=]s [[ShowWithinAShow in-universe]] [[RippedFromTheHeadlines version of itself]]) who want to stage a new killing spree to reinvigorate the franchise]].
45	* One of the unnamed main characters in ''Film/GoodDick''. He even works in a video store and brags about his ability to pick out films for others.
46	* Scotty the main character of ''Film/FilmGeek'', obviously.
47	* In ''Film/{{Juno}}'', Juno and Mark bond over their shared interest in B-movies, including shout-outs to some old-time {{giallo}} directors.
48	[[/folder]]
49
50	[[folder:Literature]]
51	* ''Literature/TheCatcherInTheRye'': In stark contrast to her Hollywood-hating brother, Phoebe Caulfield loves the movies.
52	* In ''Literature/GoneGirl'', Nick Dunn, one of the main characters, is a former movie and TV critic, refers to himself as a "film geek," and bonds with another guy over ''Film/TheGodfather.''
53	* The extremely GenreSavvy Klingon communication officer in the ''Franchise/StarTrek'' novel ''Literature/HowMuchForJustThePlanet'' specializes in [[Creator/AlfredHitchcock Hitchcock]] movies, and is pretty much a walking encyclopedia of same.
54	* ''Literature/SpaceAcademy'' has a lot of protagonist, Vance Turbo's, actions motivated by his familiarity with late 20th century Earth science fiction movies.
55	[[/folder]]
56
57	[[folder:Live-Action TV]]
58	* Oddly Sheriff Buck from ''Series/AmericanGothic1995'' seems to be this. He makes a movie reference in nearly every episode.
59	* Sammy Feathers of the short-lived Paul Haggis series ''Series/{{EZ Streets}}'' makes multiple classic movie references.
60	* Dean from ''Series/{{Supernatural}}''. He has a fondness for westerns and horror films. And ''Franchise/StarTrek''.
61	* Tony [=DiNozzo=] on ''Series/{{NCIS}}'' (though not so much in the first episodes). He actually knows enough that he goes undercover at one point as a cinema history teacher.
62	* Series/RemingtonSteele. Every case he and Laura had could be solved by his remembering the plot of an old movie.
63	* Abed, the MetaGuy from ''Series/{{Community}}''. Naturally, he's a film student. Jeff can also hold his own against Abed's ramblings but doesn't show it off as much.
64	* In ''Series/BigWolfOnCampus'', Merton J. Dingle makes movie references pretty much OnceAnEpisode.
65	* Dawson, the title character in ''Series/DawsonsCreek''. He even has a theory that the answers to all of life's questions can be found in Spielberg films.
66	* Shawn Spencer from ''Series/{{Psych}}'' to a ridiculous degree. He is [[ReferenceOverdosed constantly comparing situations]] to movies and TV shows (mostly from TheEighties) and casting himself and his friends in the various roles.
67	%%* Ed Chigliak on ''Series/NorthernExposure''.
68	%%* Pike on ''Series/DadsArmy''.
69	* Obligatory ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'' example in Xander and his compulsion for pop culture, Willow gets in on the action, even Buffy and Faith have more knowledge of films and [[ClosetGeek geek culture]] than they should. But the Trio of Dim take the cake, obsessed with films, games, Star Trek, girls, etc. to the point they put off everyone.
70	* The eponymous brooding hero of ''Series/{{Angel}}'' is quite the cinema aficionado himself. He's a fan of Creator/CharltonHeston movies, particularly ''Film/TheOmegaMan''. What a surprise. He's also seen enough vampire flicks to formulate opinions on which ones are more accurate (Creator/FrankLangella nailed it). Wesley and Gunn also share a love of movies to the point imagining they are some character in some film when a crisis hits, and in a case of HypocriticalHumor, so does Cordelia.
71	* Both Harvey and Mike on ''Series/{{Suits}}'' often quote movie lines to each other and in the first season finale, oblique references to ''Film/MississippiBurning'' are a minor plot point. Their boss Jessica isn't far behind. Louis tries to get in on the action once but Mike sort of...ignores him.
72	* ''Series/TheFlash2014'''s Cisco Ramon is the go-to guy for nerdy movie references, using them mostly for humor but occasionally for things like explaining time travel theories to Joe West (who starts getting exasperated when he keeps doing it even in serious situations). Dr. Wells, who is NotSoAboveItAll and apparently has regular movie nights with him, is usually the one who finds it the most entertaining and can often be seen smiling in the background whenever Cisco makes references, or even making his own in response.
73	* Jimmy [=McGill=] from ''Series/BetterCallSaul'' makes movie references in almost every episode of the show.
74	* On ''Series/MadMen'', Don Draper will often go to the movies, sometimes to get ideas, sometimes just to be alone, though he has taken other people (he and Lane go to see a monster B-movie, and he takes Bobby to see ''Film/PlanetOfTheApes1968''. Peggy, as Don's protégé, ends up doing the same thing.
75	* Tabby Hayworth from ''Series/PrettyLittleLiarsOriginalSin'' is an aspiring director with her biggest passion being film that she uses an outlet for expression, with Tabby dropping ''many'' film references whenever she's talking.
76	* 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.
77	[[/folder]]
78
79	[[folder:Music]]
80	* ParodiedTrope in "Jack Sparrow" by Music/TheLonelyIsland and Music/MichaelBolton. The band hires Bolton to sing backup on a song they wrote about being InDaClub, but Bolton only wants to sing about movies he loves--he spends most of the song singing about the titular pirate captain from ''Franchise/PiratesOfTheCaribbean'', but when he is told to "focus up", [[ComicallyMissingThePoint Bolton just starts singing about other movies]], name-checking ''Film/ForrestGump'', ''Film/ErinBrockovich'', and ''Film/Scarface1983''.
81	-->'''Creator/AndySamberg:''' Turns out Michael Bolton is a ''major'' cinephile.
82	[[/folder]]
83
84	[[folder:Theatre]]
85	* ''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.
86	[[/folder]]
87
88	[[folder:Toys]]
89	* Of the Toys/{{Squishmallows}}, Georgios' bio-entry reads as follows:
90	-->''"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."''
91	[[/folder]]
92
93	[[folder:Video Games]]
94	* ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid'', which given [[Creator/HideoKojima their head creator]], [[AuthorAppeal shouldn't at all be surprising.]]
95	** Paramedic of ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid3SnakeEater'' fame loves trashy B-movies and describes their plots to Snake in ways appropriate for the setting at that point.
96	** [[VideoGame/MetalGearSolid2SonsOfLiberty 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".'
97	** Solid Snake has displayed an interest in Creator/JohnCarpenter movies as well as making a joke about ''Franchise/StarWars''.
98	** Strangelove in ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolidPeaceWalker'' is a huge fan of Creator/StanleyKubrick and frequently references his films in her dialogue and scientific work, even to the extent of naming her own child after a character from ''Film/TwoThousandOneASpaceOdyssey''.
99	** We are repeatedly told that Ocelot is a massive fan of {{Spaghetti Western}}s, though the timeline is a little wobbly on this. WordOfGod says he specifically imported ''Film/AFistfulOfDollars'' from Italy to see it before its release elsewhere.
100	* ''VideoGame/PersonaQ2NewCinemaLabyrinth'': [[spoiler: The {{Deuteragonist}} of the game, Hikari, turns out to be this. She is a film production genius who knows everything about movies and movie production, to the point she can veer off-topic into the subject of movies in normal conversation.]]
101	* The main character in ''VideoGame/SecretOfEvermore''.
102	* Agent Francis York Morgan of ''VideoGame/DeadlyPremonition'' will go off on tangents discussing his favorite movies while driving around in-game. It ranges from reminiscing about ''Film/FastTimesAtRidgemontHigh'' to referencing some seriously obscure B-horror movies.
103	* 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 [[CharacterCatchphrase 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.
104	* You can select from a number of voices for your avatar in ''VideoGame/SaintsRowTheThird.'' While most all of them will make references to films and other culture, Female Voice 1 (Caucasian Creator/LauraBailey) has by far the most of them, rattling off one reference to a movie or game after another.
105	* Shizuku Osaka from ''VideoGame/LoveLiveSchoolIdolFestivalAllStars'' is as much of a movie buff as she is one for Theatre.
106	[[/folder]]
107
108	[[folder:Visual Novels]]
109	* In ''VisualNovel/Flowers2014'', Suou and Erika are both literature and film geeks, often quoting modern American cinema classics such as ''Film/TheShawshankRedemption''. In both cases, it's a result of a childhood spent indoors and away from other people.
110	* In ''VisualNovel/HeartOfTheWoods'', Madison Raines is a film student who dropped out of college midway through her degree to help her best friend Tara with her VlogSeries ''Taranormal'', and enjoys watching movies in her free time. [[SawStarWarsTwentySevenTimes She's watched 2001: A Space Odyssey many times]], as Tara points out.
111	* 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.
112	[[/folder]]
113
114	[[folder:Web Animation]]
115	* 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.
116	[[/folder]]
117
118	[[folder:Webcomics]]
119	* ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'':
120	** Both John Egbert and his [[EvilCounterpart Troll counterpart]], Karkat enjoy bad movies and romcoms as a guilty pleasure (or in John's case, out of really bad taste), and John especially makes loads of references to them throughout the series.
121	** In Act 6, Jake English, who loves all movies indiscriminately, to the point that you can't see his bedroom walls under the posters. Must run in the family, given that Jake is [[spoiler:an AlternateUniverse version of Jade's grandfather, who is actually her (and John's) genetic father.]]
122	* ''Webcomic/InhumanRelations'': Maureen is this, at least when [[http://inhumanrelations.com/comic/death-by-chocolate/ incredibly bad movies]] are concerned.
123	* Tyler Dawn from ''[[{{Webcomic/Morphe}} morphe]]''. It's implied that he is only able to cast magic by relating reality to things that he has seen or read in movies or books. When given a death collar he directly referred to it as a "Battle Royale" collar and when their host prepared a magical training class he asked if they would be doing a [[Film/HarryPotterandthePrisonerofAzkaban "Musical training montage against the cupboard spirit".]]
124	* Joe of ''Webcomic/JoeLovesCrappyMovies'' loves crappy movies.
125	[[/folder]]
126
127	[[folder:Web Original]]
128	* WebVideo/TheCinemaSnob is a parody of this type of character. He prefers classic movies and art films though. His actor, Creator/BradJones, is this for exploitation cinema, and over time the Snob has started to reflect this more and more (with LampshadeHanging, as the Snob would prefer not to have such detailed knowledge of [[Film/ETTheExtraTerrestrial E.T.]] pornography).
129	* Oancitizen of ''WebVideo/BrowsHeldHigh'', who specializes in arthouse movies but otherwise is quite the enthusiast of pop culture esoterica.
130	* ''WebVideo/OnCinema'': Gregg thinks of himself as this as he collects a large number of films on VHS and considers himself an expert on film though he is prone to mess up on certain movie facts such as which ''Franchise/StarTrek'' film took place in UsefulNotes/SanFrancisco (it was [[Film/StarTrekIVTheVoyageHome the fourth]] but Gregg insists it was [[Film/StarTrekIITheWrathOfKhan the second]]).
131	* While everyone from ''WebVideo/RedLetterMedia'' is one, Jay Bauman stands out for his more intricate knowledge of indie films and arthouse films.
132	[[/folder]]
133
134	[[folder:Western Animation]]
135	* ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'''s Carl specializes in action movies and/or hot actresses, and can quote the exact second you need to see.
136	* Bobby Hill from ''WesternAnimation/KingOfTheHill'', much to the ire of his father.
137	* ''WesternAnimation/TheCritic'': Jay Sherman is one and a film critic.
138	* Comes into play in the ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans'' episode...er..."Episode 257-494" where Control Freak traps the group inside a TV dimension and Beast Boy uses his knowledge of entertainment to help save the day.
139	* Wayne from ''WesternAnimation/{{Sixteen}}'' is a parody of Creator/JackBlack's character in ''Literature/HighFidelity'', just with his obsession switched from music to movies.
140	* Principal Skinner from ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' is revealed to be one in "Any Given Sundance".
141	[[/folder]]
142
143	[[folder:Real Life]]
144	* UsefulNotes/BarackObama describes himself as such. During his 2008 campaign for the White House, Creator/KatieCouric asked Obama what were his favorite movies. He listed ''Film/{{Casablanca}}'' ("Who doesn't like ''Casablanca''?" he added), ''Film/LawrenceOfArabia'', ''Film/TheGodfather'' Parts One and Two, and ''Film/OneFlewOverTheCuckoosNest''. "I can rattle off a bunch of movies," said Obama, "I'm a movie guy." Has also quoted movies in speeches and debates, and frequently makes lists of movies he enjoys every year.
145	* UsefulNotes/BillClinton loves movies so much that he regularly had screenings in the White House and even agreed to be interviewed by Creator/RogerEbert to talk about movies. His favorite is ''Film/HighNoon''.
146	* UsefulNotes/JohnFKennedy was known to be a huge film buff. He famously saw ''Film/{{Spartacus}}'' in theatres during his presidency because he was excited about it. On learning this, Hollywood started a tradition of sending movie prints directly to the White House, including building a screening room.
147	* UsefulNotes/RichardNixon was also a huge fan of ''Film/{{Patton}}'', he also personally presented Creator/JohnFord with the AFI Lifetime Achievement Award. Indeed, the Nixon administration [[http://articles.latimes.com/2003/aug/17/entertainment/ca-dargis17/2 signed into law a series of tax breaks, including tax shelters, that amounted to a government subsidy for the movie business]] which ironically led to the highly liberal and politically charged era of the UsefulNotes/NewHollywood, with many films critical of his administration, including ''Film/AllThePresidentsMen''.
148	* Creator/JamesGunn likes a lot of films that he used them as influences of his work.
149	* Creator/QuentinTarantino, oh so much. He has a love of Blaxploitation, Westerns, Revenge Flicks. They've all, one way or another, [[AuthorAppeal found a way to influence his work.]]
150	* Many influential directors are known to be this, including Creator/EdgarWright, Creator/RichardAyoade, Creator/WesAnderson, Creator/PaulThomasAnderson, Creator/GuillermoDelToro, Creator/WoodyAllen, Creator/RichardLinklater, Creator/RianJohnson and many more.
151	* Creator/MartinScorsese, according to most film historians, [[SeenItAll has seen every film ever made]] -- Russian, Japanese, Italian, African, Egyptian -- from ''every'' era and different genres -- experimental, documentary, genre, mainstream. He started the Film Foundation and World Cinema Foundation, organizations run by ProudScholarRaceGuy(s) and girls who make sure [[KeepCirculatingTheTapes that films are preserved]] in old and new media for future organizations.
152	* The directors of the UsefulNotes/FrenchNewWave were all enormous movie buffs, something that would go on to be a big influence on that movement's particular style. The most prominent among them, such as Creator/FrancoisTruffaut, Creator/JeanLucGodard, and Creator/ClaudeChabrol, began their careers as film critics for the film journal ''Cahiers du Cinéma'', and their films were filled with references to other movies. In particular, they shared a love of rebellious American films, such as those by Creator/NicholasRay and Creator/SamuelFuller, misunderstood masters such as Creator/AlfredHitchcock and Creator/HowardHawks, and international standouts, most prominently Creator/JeanRenoir.
153	* On a darker note, UsefulNotes/AdolfHitler was also a huge movie buff. He had a private screening room that he regularly attended and obsessed over the national film industry (after his racist policies chased away all the great talent to America and France). His favorites were ''Film/KingKong1933'', ''WesternAnimation/SnowWhiteAndTheSevenDwarfs'' and ''Broadway Melody of 1940''. He also liked Creator/FritzLang's ''Film/{{Metropolis}}'' much to [[YourApprovalFillsMeWithShame the latter's displeasure]].
154	* UsefulNotes/WinstonChurchill also saw movies during the Blitz. His favorite was the wartime romance, ''That Hamilton Woman'' about the Nelson and Emma Hamilton romance, starring Creator/LaurenceOlivier and Creator/VivienLeigh. Whenever people came to present him urgent war bulletins, Churchill told them that he was watching a movie.
155	* Websites like Creator/ScreenRant are often dedicated to trivia and other important information on movies.
156	* Creator/JamesMason was a well-known film buff who participated in many film documentaries about the history of film. It went even further after Mason purchased a house once owned by Creator/BusterKeaton; Mason discovered a cache of presumed lost films by Keaton, such as ''The Boat'', and had them transferred to safety stock just in time to preserve them.
157	* Music/FrankOcean is known to be a big movie buff, shouting out movie references in his lyrics and releasing his favorite movie list, which included films by Creator/QuentinTarantino, Creator/DavidLynch, Creator/WoodyAllen, and Creator/StanleyKubrick. Tarantino himself allowed Frank to compose a song for his movie Film/DjangoUnchained, although it ended up being unreleased.
158	* Surprisingly, former porn star Sasha Grey. Her original stage name was named after French stage named actress Creator/AnnaKarina.
159	* Creator/HideoKojima has been an incredibly devout cinephile for virtually his entire life, and his Twitter bio jokes that while most humans are 70% water, "70% of [his] body is made of movies," reportedly trying to watch at least one movie per day. While he got into making video games instead of films, his keen awareness of movies of new and of old has greatly informed much of his cinematic approach to the medium, and in turn [[SignatureStyle some of his eccentricities]], from [[{{Doorstopper}} infamously long cutscenes]] to just directly [[ReferenceOverdosed referencing the films he likes all the time.]]
160	* Creator/JamesRolfe, despite being famous for destroying bad video games as ''WebVideo/TheAngryVideoGameNerd'', has stated in interviews that in real life he is far more of a movie nerd; and anyone who watches his movie reviews knows he has ''massive'' knowledge and affection for the medium, especially regarding [[UsefulNotes/TheGoldenAgeOfHollywood classic black-and-white films]] and [[{{Horror}} horror films]].
