Movies About Love Triangles

Ahh love triangles! We love reading them in novels, reading about real-life ones in magazines and certainly we love watching them in a good movie. What is it about love triangles that pulls us in and leaves us wanting more? It’s the passion mixed with jealousy and rage that gets us interested. We all want to find out who will end up with who and who is left brokenhearted.

My Best Friends Wedding - Starring Julia Roberts, Dermot Mulroney and Cameron Diaz, this is a love triangle that is not to be missed. A great movie about a woman who is in love with her best friend, who is soon to be married. It shows what she will do to get him for herself.

Legends of the Fall - I can't put into words how great I think this movie is. A love triangle between a woman and two brothers that will break your heart. A fantastic movie that I recommend to anyone who has not yet seen it. Brad Pitt, Aidan Quinn and Anthony Hopkins are incredible in this film.

Twilight - Put a vampire story and throw in the quiet, mysterious girl, who two incredibly gorgeous guys (a vampire and a werewolf) are fighting for. This is every teenage girls dream and that's why everyone went crazy for the Twilight Saga. It's very entertaining and I'll admit I've enjoyed these movies, I really have, but some parts have seemed so ridiculous that I've laughed out loud.

Keeping the Faith - Two best friends, a Priest and a Rabbi, are both in love with their childhood friend. A very funny and enjoyable movie with Ben Stiller, Edward Norton and Jenna Elfman as the leads.

Tristan & Isolde - A Romeo & Juliet style love story that I adore! A story of passion and betrayal starring James Franco and Sophia Myles.

The Phantom of the Opera - An amazing musical love story that I absolutely love. Gerard Butler plays the Phantom, while Emmy Rossum plays his love interest, who is not interested in him. If you like musicals/opera then you will love this one.

Pearl Harbour - A touching war story mixed with a love triangle between two best friends and a beautiful woman. She can't have them both, so who will it be?

Bridget Jones' Diary - The hilarious comedy about a woman who is clumsy and embarrasses herself to no end, but who ends up having two men to choose from. So many funny moments in this movie.

Somethings Gotta Give - Diane Keating and Jack Nicholson shine together in this comedy about love. Throw in the young and gorgeous Keanu Reeves and you have yourself one interesting love triangle.

Bandits - I think this would have to be my favourite love triangle. Bruce Willis, Billy Bob Thornton and Cate Blanchett are wonderful in this hilarious comedy/drama. The two friends are two completely different bank robbers but they both fight for her love, it's great!

A Home at the End of the World - A love triangle between two childhood boys and a woman. They all sort of love each other in this one and it's a pretty sad movie but still a really good one.

There's Something About Mary - A love triangle between Ben Stiller, Cameron Diaz and Matt Dillon will crack you up in this ridiculously funny comedy movie. This has to be one of my favourite comedy movies, I'm such a fan of Ben Stiller.

Reality Bites - Oh Ben Stiller again! He comes between Wynona Ryder and Ethan Hawke in this film. Ethan plays the character of the jealous/mean about it/don't care but really do guy.

Here on Earth - Another awesome movie, starring Josh Hartnett, LeeLee Sobieski and Chris Klein. They both love her but which one does she love? I really enjoyed this one :)
