More movies where the line between movie and reality is blured?

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

Hellzapoppin' blurs that line in a different way. Characters on screen end up having exchanges with the projectionist who is running the movie at the theater.

This is not a signature!

And then there's The Stunt Man from 1980.

There's a John Candy/Mariel Hemingway movie, too. Didn't Wil Farrell do one?

The very creative, if very sad "Pennies From Heaven" (1981) has been undervalued for decades. Steve Martin and Bernadette Peters in the tale of a downtrodden Depression-era fella seeking solace in the far brighter worlds of the era's movie musicals.
