* Movies
**Film** is a medium in which images are projected on a screen to create the illusion of moving pictures. They are a common source of HBD characters, locations, events, etc.

Note that in the HBD multiverse, both the film and the characters etc. depicted in the film may exist. Just as with real-world films made about historical subjects, the film may or may not be an accurate depiction.

## Iconic Films

Here is a list of iconic films that have become part of our collective consciousness and hence belong to the HBD multiverse. A rule of thumb for whether a film belongs on this list: Would a casual movie fan more or less knw what the film is about, even if they haven't seen it?
