Aren't the largest % of movies high-fantasy? Otherwise they would be called documentaries.

Give me a diablo sandwich, a Dr. Pepper, and make it quick, I'm in a god-damn hurry. Buford T. Justice

Smokey and The Bandit, while being fiction, isn't high fantasy (which is a sub-genre of fiction). What I meant by "high fantasy", is basically Lord of The Rings: something that happens on an alternate universe that depicts fantastic people and creatures with fantastic powers who have never existed or will ever exist.

Smokey and the Bandit is fiction, in that the events depicted are imaginary, however they are heavily grounded in reality.

77 TA' getting that much air is pure high-fantasy.

Hobbit and Giant

Ogre or Hut, you can decide

Flying cars, hobbits, giants, ogre and Huts.... High-fantasy

As a 7yo kid watching both, that TA and the X-Wing were equally the subject of many fantasies for the next 30 years
