Line 87:
* ''[[Enchanted]]'': While there are fairy tale elements (honorary princess Giselle is our heroine after all), there are also realistic elements as well. Nathaniel and Narissa are on the fairy tale side, but it’s not unrealistic for Nathaniel to end up in an abusive relationship because a woman decided to use her good looks to her advantage. Unfortunately for Nathaniel, Narissa doesn’t see him as a friend (or a love interest). She considers him to be a slave.
* ''[[Indiana Jones]]'': While the deaths in Indiana Jones are supernatural a lot of the time, it's because the villains simply weren't careful about what they wished for, which is fairly realistic. Either that, or because they chose to be careless, as with the case of Donovan (he chose the wrong grail, and suffered the consequences). Though in the case of Mola Ram (the main villain of ''Temple of Doom''), he more or less died because Indiana Jones ended up outsmarting him... and because he fell into crocodile-infested water.
* The film ''[[Bewitched (film)|Bewitched]]'' is about a [[Continuity Reboot]] of the [[Bewitched|1960s TV series]] as a vehicle to rescue the career of a floundering actor -- which just accidentally happens to hire a real witch to play its version of Samantha. In addition to her [[Rule Magic]] and that of her [[Witch Species]], though, there is Magic Realism-verging-on-[[Wild Magic]] swirling around her and her [[Jerkass]] costar, which ultimately manifests as characters from the TV series appearing to advise both of them.
