Blair Witch Project
Cloverfield
At first I thought Cloverfield was an example a mockumentary, albeit not of the satirical flavor, however I'm not convinced anymore that it fits the bill, per se. Yes, the characters do break down the fourth wall and acknowledge the camera's presence, and the film exhibits the same handheld, "home movie" feel as Blair-Witch.... heck, even techniques of Cinéma-vérité can be seen, but I believe Cloverfield is just a fictional story told through the first person perspective of a character holding a camera. What does anyone else think?
You can watch the full-length Cloverfield trailer @ Apple Trailers.
