Yo dude, haven't seen either one but I like placing two cents into every bucket I see.

I've heard of Click and know the plot. Perfect Imaginative Journey - let's face it, Adam Sandler has a remote that can control his life - it's imaginative because such a remote doesn't exist in real life. And the remote allows him to control his suroundings and and alter the way that life around him operates, he gets to essentially become God (which is why Bruce Almighty is another good one if you wanted). It inspires him to go an a happy journey of 'inspiration and speculation' and then turn up at a happy morale and happy ending. You could go on for miles about that.

As for Brother's Grimm, I'm a bit vague on its plot, is it about them getting inspiration to write their stories? If so, just think - is there anything that's unrealistic that happens in the film? Do they fly, see a ghost, walk upside down surrounding by foxy fairies? Do they hallucinate? That's all imaginary.
Essentially any text with unreal elements like that is an imaginative journey. I think you'll be fine with either of them. Don't worry that they're not on the list; if they did they might as well just have put every text that wasn't an imaginative journey.

I'm not familiar with Yeats, but either you're teacher was disclosing something about his reading patterns you didn't want to know or being exceptionally vague, like most English Teachers.

Good luck, mate!

Click being an Adam Sandler film is very enjoyable but might prove to be too 'flippant' for a related text. I'd advise against it but if your heart is set on it, try to emphasise how the serious aspects of the movie and controlled techniques in cinematography provide a strong contrast to the light-hearted values and attitudes of contemporary society which it satirises.

And how come your tutor can't help you as much as your teachers at school? If you feel that you can't work productively in class or for whatever other reason, your tutor should be able to help reinforce your knowledge of imaginative journeys and even give you a head start in critical study of text - yeats. Be sure they have actually studied the text before either in the hsc, uni or in schools (if they're a teacher) though.
