* ''Film/LostInAHarem'': Nimativ's earlier wives are ''not'' interested in having another woman join them, and gladly try to help Peter and Harvey get her out in return for a promise to get them into the movies (having been falsely told that the two men are Hollywood talent scouts). Nimativ himself is a male example, as he gets violently jealous at the thought of any man being near his wives.

** [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]] with Pepper Potts in ''Film/IronMan''. She doesn't like Tony's [[HandsomeLech amorous nature]] with women and while she put up with it when he was her boss, after their RelationshipUpgrade in ''Film/IronMan2'' Pepper makes it clear she doesn't appreciate Tony being flirty with "[[ComicBook/BlackWidow Natalie]]" or his one night stand with Christine Everhart, albeit usually in DeadpanSnarker fashion. Averted in later movies as Tony is very loyal to her; they get married and have a daughter together in ''Film/AvengersEndgame''.

Alphabetized examples.


* In ''Film/SixtyEightKill'', the CuteAndPsycho Liza chases after Chip in an attempt to reclaim him, even after he tries to kill her in order to escape from her.
* ''Film/CalamityJane'': While Calamity Jane is very interested in Lieutenant Danny Gilmartin, he doesn't reciprocate her feelings at all and instead desires the affections of Katie Brown. Seeing them kiss later on infuriates Calamity and makes her wild with jealousy, to the point where she shoots a glass out of her romantic rival's hand and orders her to leave town. Bill Hickock, a close friend of Calamity, understands what it will do to her if she succeeds in scaring Katie off and tries to help her gain some CharacterDevelopment in that department. She does [[spoiler:and the two of them end up getting married]].
-->'''Bill:''' Who are you to tell people who to love? Suppose you did scare that girl out of town, would that get your lieutenant back? That stop Katie from lovin' him or him her? That's female thinkin'. He'd bring her back and they'd both hate ya... You had to lose tonight, Calam, or you'd never win again.
** Her possessiveness is demonstrated earlier in the movie as well. When Danny reacts excitedly to finding a picture of Adelaide Adams in his cigarette packet, she snatches it away from him and bursts out:
---> I didn't save you for no other female.
* ''Film/DarkAngelTheAscent'': When Max and Veronica (who's a demon posing as a human) go to a bar, an old girlfriend of Max makes Veronica so jealous that she almost kills her, but relents.



* Mojdeh of ''Film/FireworksWednesday'' is a fairly tragic version.



* ''Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse'':
** [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]] with Pepper Potts in ''Film/IronMan''. She doesn't like Tony's [[HandsomeLech amorous nature]] with women and while she put up with it when he was her boss, after their RelationshipUpgrade in ''Film/IronMan2'' Pepper makes it clear she doesn't appreciate Tony being flirty with "[[ComicBook/BlackWidow Natalie]]" or his one night stand with Christine Everhart, albeit usually in DeadpanSnarker fashion. Averted in later movies as Tony is very loyal to her; they get married and have a daughter together in ''Film/AvengersEndgame''.
** ComicBook/PeggyCarter in ''Film/CaptainAmericaTheFirstAvenger'' really didn't like seeing another woman (the SexySecretary Lorraine) giving Steve a ForcefulKiss by demand and she took out her anger by testing his Vibranium shield by shooting at him. [[spoiler: Creator/HayleyAtwell [[WordofGod confirms]] Peggy also wouldn't be happy with Steve revealing that he kissed her niece [[ComicBook/Agent13 Sharon]], though that's perfectly justified.]]
** ComicBook/LadySif in ''Film/ThorTheDarkWorld'' gives Jane Foster the stink eye more than a few times due to her unsaid feelings for Thor. There was going to be a LoveTriangle subplot but thanks to ExecutiveMeddling it was dropped during production.
** ComicBook/{{Gamora}} in ''Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxyVol2'' got pretty damn ticked off at Ayesha flirting with Quill, and didn't like how Peter took it in his stride. Similar to Pepper, Gamora is well aware of her partner's former lechery and isn't happy about it at all.



* Norma Desmond from ''Film/SunsetBoulevard''. As Joe is walking out on her, she comments desperately, "No one leaves a star. That's what makes one a star." Then she [[spoiler:shoots him.]]



* Grace, from the film ''Film/SinTakesAHoliday'' is so clingy that Stanton marries another woman he doesn't love in to keep her away from him.
* Christy from ''Film/TheSocialNetwork''. She flipped out on Eduardo for not replying to her text messages that he came back from California and for having his Facebook status as single. And she sets his gift for her [[{{Yandere}} on fire in a trash bin and knocks it over his bed.]] Then she has the audacity to ask if he's going back to California - completed with a pouty face and big puppy eyes.
* Mary Jane Watson in ''Film/SpiderMan3'' much like the comics gets jealous of other women being attracted to Peter, though to be fair Spidey was out of line, doing the upside-down kiss with Gwen Stacy in front of a whole audience and MJ herself. Then on the other hand she kissed Spider-Man while she was dating Harry, [[TheUnfairSex so maybe she shouldn't be throwing stones in glass houses]].
* Norma Desmond from ''Film/SunsetBoulevard''. As Joe is walking out on her, she comments desperately, "No one leaves a star. That's what makes one a star." Then she [[spoiler:shoots him]].
* Rachel [[MeaningfulName Witchburn]] from ''Film/SydneyWhite'' is borderline StalkerWithACrush to her ex-boyfriend Tyler (who ''she'' had dumped). Especially the way she shows up in Tyler's room, claiming to have read his emails.
