10 Must-Watch Fantasy Movies For People Who Don't Like Fantasy

10. Last Action Hero

From the poster (or in this day and age, streaming service thumbnail), eyes might immediately roll at the thought of Arnold Schwarzenegger swinging around with a gun in one hand, a sidekick in the other and a ball of fire behind him.

But if you find you're the kind of person who loves film, but cannot get their head around fantasy or action, Last Action Hero is a film for you because it actively unfolds the genre and weaves the mechanisms into the plot.

As perhaps one of the best meta takes on action films, the movie is book-ended by real-life grim realities, seen through the eyes of teenage movie buff Danny Madigan. When he is literally sucked into the catastrophic, chaotic and cartoonish world of his favourite movie franchise, the cliches and tropes of cinema come to life before Danny's very eyes as he partners up with a caricatured take on Arnold Schwarzenegger's early career.

The movie takes fantasy-haters by the hand and guides them through the wonderland of hyper-unrealistic Hollywood of the 80's and 90's, and presents a reassuring wink that movies know they are being silly at times.

Again, the fantasy element of a magic movie ticket is but a plot device in a well paced and very well written (thanks to Shane Black) film about action movies.
