(None here yet. Why not make one?)

Films that use OSM

While there may certainly be many films that unintentionally use OpenStreetMap as a prop element, or intentionally but neglected to provide credit, some films have intentionally used OSM-derived maps or OSM data in production and provided attribution in the film's end credits.
