* ''Film/TheBigCountry'': No one believes McKay when, after his ride across the country, he informs them that he was never lost and had been navigating his way across the country effectively. In Steve Leech's case it's clearly in large part because he's been spoiling for a fight with McKay for pretty much the entire movie and is by that point latching onto any lame excuse he can find to trigger one.

** In ''Film/AttackOfTheClones'', this is invoked by Count Dooku, who tells Obi-Wan that the Republic is under the control of a Sith Lord named Darth Sidious. In this case, the audience is aware that Dooku is telling the truth, while Obi-Wan doesn't believe him. At the end of the film, Obi-Wan tells the other Jedi Masters about this, and Yoda immediately says that Dooku is probably trying to create mistrust among them, and they shouldn't take his words at face value. What Dooku didn't tell Obi-Wan is that Sidious is ''also'' [[PlayingBothSides behind the Separatist movement]], and that he himself is Sidious's student.

* ''Film/CappsCrossing'': Justin is accused of spying on Robin while she was changing in her tent, an accusation he denies on the grounds he was elsewhere, pooping in the woods. No one believes him. Except he was right, and the actual peeping tom is implied to be David.

* In ''Film/{{Batman 1989}}'' the first quarter has Alexander Knox being mocked by his peers, as no one (with the exception of Vicki Vale) believed him is his story about a mysterious shadowy vigulante figure roming through the night striking fear into criminals.

* ''Film/DeadAgain'': Grace is an amnesiac woman who can only remember the tumultuous relationship between composer/conductor Roman Strauss and pianist Margaret Strauss 40 years earlier, and Mike is a private detective hired to investigate her past. When Margaret is under hypnosis to possibly help her get back her memory, Mike shows up in the past story, and Grace and Franklyn Madsen (the one hypnotizing her) thinks it means Mike is the reincarnation of Roman, just as it's assumed Grace is the reincarnation of Margaret. Mike insists to both of them, "I'm not Roman!" [[spoiler:Turns out he's right - he's actually the reincarnation of Margaret, while Grace is the reincarnation of Roman]].

* In ''Film/TheHost'', nobody but Gang-du's family believes that his daughter is still alive after being taken by a giant monster from the Han.

* In ''Choose Me'' Keith Carradine's character Mickey keeps telling different outlandish stories about his past to other characters and appears to be a compulsive liar. During the movie, the other characters start cross-checking the various different things he's told them and accuse Mickey of lying to everyone. But at the end of the movie, it's revealed that everything he said to everyone was true.

%%* Played straight in ''Film/{{Gothika}}''.

** Saruman is actually a subversion, as ''Film/TheLordOfTheRings'' shows that he's plotting to obtain the Ring for Sauron.

* In the ''Franchise/{{Halloween}}'' series, Dr. Loomis' entire career in regards to Michael is this. No one ever listens to his warnings about the danger Michael poses to society...even after the dead bodies start piling up.

** In ''Film/Terminator3RiseOfTheMachines'' he has a rant about seeing impossible things indicating he no longer even believes his own memories, then freaks upon seeing the Terminator validating his own memories of events.

* ''Film/JennifersBody'': Chip initially doesn't believe Needy's seemingly outrageous claims about Jennifer, [[RealityEnsues not that you can blame him]]. Also, Needy is the only one who knows that Low Shoulder aren't the heroes everyone else thinks they are; no-one else believes her when she states otherwise, presumably because that's part of Low Shoulder's DealWithTheDevil, or they'd just garnered [[VillainWithGoodPublicity a good reputation]] by (allegedly) saving people from the fire.

* ''Film/NightOfTheLivingDorks'': When Philip's parents come home and confiscate the potion to turn them back into humans, Philip tells them how they died and came back as zombies. Naturally, [[RealityEnsues his parents don't believe him]].

* ''Film/KissOfTheDamned'': Peter, as you might except, reacts with laughter first when Djuna says she's a vampire. He believes it upon her displaying a {{game face}} however.
