Movies

**Movies**, aka **film** or **cinema**, is an art form involving moving pictures projected on a screen. Movies have provided many iconic characters, settings and events. Numerous films that are fictional in the real world are based on historical or contemporary figures in the Here Be Dragons world--often heavily fictionalized, which explains the often incompatible presentations of the same characters in different movies.

The following is a list of iconic movies that have become part of the collective consciousness, organized by year of release. The test for inclusion is: Would a casual movie fan more or less know what this movie was about even if they hadn't seen it?
