Metal Gear Solid 3 movies

[BULUPTAX]

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

Here's the list in alphabetical order:

20,000 Leagues Under the Sea (1954)

This is a great idea, I've only watched a handful of these so I'll be tempted to try add to that.

I was actually looking into maybe screening these on the site over time as well as other films mentioned in the series/Death Stranding so you posting this list is really cool Bulup!

How does it feel knowing that, unlike Naked Snake, you are on Paramedic’s level?

Personal headcanon is that BB spent his time lying low during MGSV watching all the films she mentioned that he had no idea about. Maybe Ocelot insisted he watch some spaghetti westerns too.

Paramedic can probably still out nerd me when it comes to movies hahaha

But Kojima is a heck of a film nerd so it was really cool that he curated this whole list of movies relevant to the era Snake Eater was set in, and included it in the game as a fun little side thing

I hope he had a good wi-fi connection in Zanzibar Land then
