One film that I thought of : Zelig, where the character's

story (supposedly true, shot in documentary style) is

bought by Hollywood and given the Hollywood treatment

(e.g., romanticized and with a more attractive leading

man than Woody Allen's "real" Zelig).

 

While we're (I'm?) on the subject of Woody, an ironic

segment from Bananas, which I saw again this weekend,

has him trying to explain his purchase of porno

magazines with:"Oh, I'm doing a study of sexual

perversion. I'm already up to advanced child

molesting".
