Try Narnia and the Lord of the Rings movies. Both written by devout Catholics, with many Christian themes.

And in Narnia's case, it's just an alternate way to teach the themes of the Crucifixion and Resurrection.

When I watched Narnia, there were obvious rituals used in witchcraft and there were creatures found in ancient myths from around the world.

Maybe I was watching a different movie? Or could it be that Lewis co-opted ancient myths and rituals into another form of synchretism.

Take it from an agnostic turned fundamentalist turned agnostic, there is NOTHING new under the sun.
