The 'Film Bro' (or Cinebro) meme refers to a subculture of movie enthusiasts known for their predictable obsession with a specific canon of 'tough' or 'deep' films, such as Fight Club, Pulp Fiction, and American Psycho. The meme evolved from genuine film discussion into a satirical critique of pretentious fans who prioritize aesthetics and 'masculine' narratives over diverse storytelling. Common tropes include the 'Literally Me' characters—often portrayed by Ryan Gosling or Christian Bale—and a fierce loyalty to directors like Christopher Nolan or Denis Villeneuve. Today, the meme is used to poke fun at the gatekeeping nature of online film communities and the stereotypical behavior of those who consider themselves high-brow critics.
