“
For me, filmmaking combines everything. That’s the reason I’ve made cinema my life’s work. In films, painting and literature, theatre and music come together. But a film is still a film.
”
It is common knowledge that Hirohiko Araki is an avid music lover. His love for it is seen throughout all of his works in many references and also discussed many times in comments and interviews. It is without a doubt one of the most well known aspects of his works which has been looked over extensively. However, Araki's avid love for movies is not something that is as extensively brought up in comparison. As a lover of movies, it is somewhat disappointing due to the many influences they've also had on his works (he's also literally written two books just about movies). Whether it's simply a mention of a title or it influenced the very making of a character, movies and their impact on him have been around since his very beginning.
This is why I'm attempting to make a comprehensive list of really everything (figuratively) with movies and Araki. The list of the movies that I've made is present --> here. This page simply acts as a breakdown of the specific sources of where some of these movies might have popped up in.
Structure
The list itself is a combination of multiple lists and specific titles from various works/sources, including sources not by/with Araki. Another key point is that all the movies have been either directly mentioned/stated or are obvious in its reference.[a]

Araki's Participation
Listed below are times when Araki himself discussed a movie in a review/comment, had a partial role in the promotion for a movie itself, or his own part in the making of one.
- Araki wrote a comment and drew an illustration of Neo and Jolyne in promotion of the soon release of The Matrix Reloaded at the time.

- With the movie adaptions of his works done throughout the years (JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Phantom Blood, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Diamond is Unbreakable - Chapter 1, and Rohan au Louvre), he seems to be overall lax in their productions beside supervision and to answers questions if needed (similar to his role in the anime). According to Takashi Miike[c], Araki himself told him "Every movie belongs to its director. Feel free to destroy the original universe".
- However, Araki did contribute directly for that movie with drawing the camouflage pattern shown on Bad Company's soldiers.

Notes
- ↑ For example: the way Pet Shop licked his blood is an obvious reference to "Enter the Dragon", while Johngalli A.'s sniper being inspired by the thin rifle used in "The Day of the Jackal" is possible but not confirmed as of yet.
- ↑ There is a sizable amount of movies missing from this list due to: Titles being completely covered, only partially shown, the partial text is too non-specific to narrow down, the title is too vauge even if fully shown, multiple movies have the same name and either could be the intended title based on year, or simply the movie is known but it's not even on Letterboxd at the moment.

- ↑ In America, this movie is referred to as "Hoboken Hollow"
