I made a similar thread on Metal Gear Legacy a few years back so I'm making it here too because it was a fun little project.
In 2021, when I was in COVID lockdown for several months, I was replaying the MGS games and had the idea to try and watch all the movies that were mentioned in MGS3, since movies of the 50's and 60's were brought up a lot.
I watched 40 films that the game mentioned, ranging from: war movies, monster movies, alien invasion movies, science fiction, and anti-nuke movies. A lot of them were easy enough to find on streaming or blu ray, but some were so obscure that I had a really difficult time tracking them down.
It was actually a lot of fun and it gave me a real love of 50s and 60s era movies, something I hadn't really delved into so much before

20,000 Leagues Under the Sea (1954)
