Hi,
does anybody know any other movies where a movie character walks off the screen and into the real world?
To my embarrassment only "Last Action Hero" springs to mind
I'm writing a university paper about this topic, so any help is very much appriciated.
Thanks -

Pleasantville is kind of the opposite (real world character entering a show), but probably relevant to whatever you're writing. It's also a really overlooked movie.
Videodrome touches on this sort of thing a bit, but is a pretty dark and relatively abstract movie by comparison. It's also not particularly great IMHO. -

Yes blurring reality and make-belief is another topic. Then we could go talking about Truffaut, Godard, Lynch and so on. Even Play It Again, Sam. The French Lieutenant's Woman is another good film. In it reality and fiction get mixed up. Let alone Jean Rouch's sociological documentaries in the 1950's-60's..

I think David Lynch's "Mulholland Drive" might qualify as well.
There is definitely a film-within-a-film happening inside that movie, although how much of that film bleeds into the fantasy/reality blur is up for interpretation. There's too much going on in that movie to say for sure.
