* Sports-themed films typically include snippets of a radio or television play-by-play announcer describing the action in the [[Big Game]].
Line 11:
* The film version of ''[[Harry Potter]] and the Order of the Phoenix''.
* ''L.A. Confidential'' had the voice of Sid Hutchinson (Danny DeVito) reading from the gossip magazine he ran.
* The modern film ''[[Romeo + Juliet.]]'': Shakespeare's play has a narrator at the beginning and the end; the film handles those lines by making its main story the subject of a television news story...
* ''[[Sky Captain and The World of Tomorrow]]'' (2004). A radio announcer (along with a [[Spinning Paper]] montage) is used to show that the robot attack on New York is part of a worldwide phenomenon.
* A lot of the backstory of the movie version of ''[[Starship Troopers]]'' is given through faux news/military recruitment ads. Would you like to know more?
