Maybe artificial, but a nice example (I think) demonstrating analytic continuation (NOT just the usual $\mathrm{Re}(e^{i \theta})$ method!) I don't know any reasonable way of doing this by real methods.
As a fun exercise, calculate $$ I(\omega) = \int_0^\infty e^{-x} \cos (\omega x) \frac{dx}{\sqrt{x}}, \qquad \omega \in \mathbb{R} $$ from the real part of $F(1+i \omega)$, where $$ F(k) = \int_0^\infty e^{-kx} \frac{dx}{\sqrt{x}}, \qquad \mathrm{Re}(k)>0 $$ (which is easily obtained for $k>0$ by a real substitution) and using analytic continuation to justify the same formula with $k=1+i \omega$.
You need care with square roots, branch cuts, etc.; but this can be avoided by considering $F(k)^2$, $I(\omega)^2$.
Of course all the standard integrals provide endless fun examples! (But the books don't have many requiring genuine analytic continuation like this!)
