The movies that fall into my fantasy category are as follows:.
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon - Kung fu movie, where people seem to have super human strength and can jump abnormally high.
The Gift - A psychic starts to see the darker side of people and gets involve in a local murder investigation (this one could be argued for reality but because it deals with the supernatural I"m including it in the fantasy).

You can see that the majority of the movies fall under reality . While these movies try to closely depict actuality, [they] still cannot escape adding a flavor of dream. The characters in these movies either have exceptional talents that allow them to rise above the rest of society or they are faced with great adversity that they must overcome. While depicting reality, the moviemakers give even the actual historical characters seemingly superhuman ability to deal with the task at hand. No matter what trial is faced, the audience expects the hero to prevail at all costs.
Audiences want to escape from life for the brief hour and a half. They want to sit in the dark with their popcorn and soda and for the next hour and a half be entertained. That's why I go to the movies. I don't want to go to the theater to see someone wake up, put on his clothes, eat breakfast and go to work, only to watch him spend his day in front of a computer. I want to laugh at the fallacies of life, watch in suspense as the detective uncovers the mystery, and cheer that underdog hero going against all odds and coming out on top. I empathize with the characters. I sometimes feel like the underdog when I am given a though assignment at work; and the lives in comedies often hit close to home.
