Honestly, I forgot for a while that they were even in the game until I was just checking up the traditional statistics sheet that you'd expect to find in open-world games. Now I also never exactly went out looking for any, but you'd think the game would at least offer up one to let you know what to look for, and as a starting off point. With such a City this huge and dense, with only 50 film reels, I can imagine they'll be pretty difficult to track without a guide.

Has anyone found many of those film reel collectibles?
I found one, by exploring one of the landmarks in the city.
I'll probably be using a guide to find the rest.
yeah I found 25 or so without a guide, then I looked at the rockstar social site, it showed where the rest are and if you collected them yet. Looking for all of them without a guide is pointless, the one obvious one is the one you find near a movie theater.

Naturally then you were purposely looking for them instead of just conveniently encountering them through the story? How well hidden would you say they were? And what do they look like, minus the obvious. Do they have any distinctive markers with a slight gleam to have them stand out, or are they literally just plain ole film reels laying on the ground?
I completed the story a few hours ago and I never found a single one. I'll be using a guide to find them, I would go crazy trying to find them all without one.
I was finding most of them on the ground but a couple were inside a restaurant or on a golf course or inside a bridge or in a train tunnel. When I finally looked up the guide some of them are on random house porches or in a small kids park you would never see otherwise.
It's nice to see I'm not the only person struggling with these collectibles. I've managed to find three film reels so far, in perhaps as many hours of searching. In a world as huge as this one, games really have to do something to point the player in the right direction. Something like the blips on the map in Just Cause 2, or the Treasure Maps in Red Dead Redemption. I know that maps are available through Rockstar Social Club, but I can't help but feel that stuff should be pointed out in-game somehow. The technology is obviously there, so why not do it?
