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 Genre Savvy (or Wrong Genre Savvy), it's not a requirement. Additionally, The Movie Buff usually knows all about Oscar nominees, Oscars won, actors, directors, Emmy awards, how a movie was received, who the screenwriter and editors were. Some film geeks may get obsessed with lenses, film cameras, and film editing. They may be a budding film student or media studies student. This is usually a source of pride for said character but can sometimes be a source of chagrin for the rest of the cast. Their knowledge is likely to be used for humor more often than it is used as a plot point. Compare: Saw "Star Wars" Twenty-Seven Times, Unabashed B-Movie Fan. See The Genie Knows Jack Nicholson for characters that know our movies while living in a fantasy setting. |

The eponymous brooding hero of Angel is quite the cinema aficionado himself. He's a fan of Charlton Heston movies, particularly The Ωmega Man. What a surprise. He's also seen enough vampire flicks to formulate opinions on which ones are more accurate (Frank Langella 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 Hypocritical Humor, so does Cordelia. | |

Both Harvey and Mike on Suits often quote movie lines to each other and in the first season finale, oblique references to Mississippi Burning 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. | |

Michael DeSanta from Grand Theft Auto V, who is a self-described fan of "Classic 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 signature phrase "You forget a thousand things every day. Make sure this is one of them." being from an old movie becomes a minor plot. | |

Homestuck: Both John Egbert and his 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. 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 an Alternate Universe version of Jade's grandfather, who is actually her (and John's) genetic father. |

The Cinema Snob is a parody of this type of character. He prefers classic movies and art films though. His actor, Brad Jones, is this for exploitation cinema, and over time the Snob has started to reflect this more and more (with Lampshade Hanging, as the Snob would prefer not to have such detailed knowledge of E.T. pornography). | |

Sword Art Online Abridged: Akihiko Kayaba kicks off the series by comparing the players' situation to TRON, but is irritated when they're too young to have seen the film. He eventually resorts to playing a clip from Scanners to make his point about the consequences of their characters' HP hitting zero. Guild leader Heathcliff also likes to drop movie quotes like "you can't fight in here, this is the war room!" and "go ahead, make my day." Again, most players don't get them. Finally, Kirito is a Pop-Cultured Badass able to quote a variety of TV shows, literature, and even classic movies like Duck Soup. The fact that he's the only one who gets Heathcliff's movie references is what lets him make the connection that he and Kayaba are the same person. |

The Flash (2014)'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 Not So Above It All 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. | |

The series has also served up villainous examples of this trope. In the second film, Mickey is a horror buff who wants to get caught so that he can get a sensational trial, specifically by telling the court and the Moral Guardians that his love of violent movies made him a killer so that he can get sympathy, 15 Minutes of Fame, and a lenient sentence. In the fifth film, Richie and Amber are Loony Fans of the Stab films (Scream's in-universe version of itself) who want to stage a new killing spree to reinvigorate the franchise. | |

Metal Gear Solid, which given their head creator, shouldn't at all be surprising. Paramedic of Metal Gear Solid 3 fame loves trashy B-movies and describes their plots to Snake in ways appropriate for the setting at that point. Raiden 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".' Solid Snake has displayed an interest in John Carpenter movies as well as making a joke about Star Wars. Strangelove in Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker is a huge fan of Stanley Kubrick and frequently references his films in her dialogue and scientific work, even to the extent of naming her own child after a character from 2001: A Space Odyssey. We are repeatedly told that Ocelot is a massive fan of Spaghetti Westerns, though the timeline is a little wobbly on this. Word of God says he specifically imported A Fistful of Dollars from Italy to see it before its release elsewhere. |

Hardison from Leverage is such a Star Trek 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 "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. | |

Strangelove in Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker is a huge fan of Stanley Kubrick and frequently references his films in her dialogue and scientific work, even to the extent of naming her own child after a character from 2001: A Space Odyssey. | |

Togata from Fire Punch 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 Vanilla Sky. The mysterious girl who looks like Agni's dead sister is also a film fan as well. In fact, her whole motivation is to 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 Star Wars movie, which got canceled. |

Katie Mitchell from The Mitchells vs. the Machines 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 Mad Max or Dawn of the Dead, and many of her own films' titles are references to other movies (including older or more obscure ones like Being There or Au Hasard Balthazar). | |

Obligatory Buffy the Vampire Slayer 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 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. | |

In Flowers (2014), Suou and Erika are both literature and film geeks, often quoting modern American cinema classics such as The Shawshank Redemption. In both cases, it's a result of a childhood spent indoors and away from other people. | |

The Flick: 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 Pulp Fiction (ironic given how recent that movie is). He sneers with derision when Sam talks about how much he liked 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 Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon with demonic skill. | |
