Well, creatures from Islamic mythology are underused. Like they could have used Buraq in the romantic comedies in 80s with Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan riding on that flying donkey.
And in another movie Tom Hanks is a jinn exorcist who is trying to exorcise a Jinn from Meg Ryan but falls in love with Jinn inside her, and gets ostracized from Jinn exorcist society. But then, after having a conversation with a Persian rug on his wall (because Muslims believe in magical rugs), he discovers that Jinns are also Allah's creation and that it's ok that the Jinn is in Meg Ryan because women are lower beings according to Quran anyway, so it's ok that he loves that Jinn.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
