* ''Film/AnnaAndTheApocalypse'' and ''Film/Spirited2022'' are a pair of fairly different Christmas musicals that nonetheless share some of the same fans for both having catchy soundtracks, unique and quirky set-ups, {{Bittersweet Ending}}s and atmospheres, and being greatly under-appreciated in the eyes of their admirers.

* Fans of the films of Creator/ToddHaynes and Creator/ToddField get along very well. Along with their shared first name, both directors do share some things in common: they've both made films starring Creator/CateBlanchett that are beloved among her fans (''Film/{{Carol}}'' and ''Film/{{Tar}}'', respectively), like to tackle dark themes and heavy subjects with a methodical but still empathetic approach to those subjects, and oftentimes focus on the nature of the female psyche through the use of complex female characters, which has led to a sizable mutual fandom between the two.

* A surprising OddFriendship has formed between the ''Film/Deadpool2016'' and ''Film/WonderWoman2017'' fandoms even though the heroes are complete polar opposites. It may be because Deadpool's actor Creator/RyanReynolds himself offered his heartfelt congratulations to ''Wonder Woman'' when it outgrossed ''Deadpool''. This cordial relationship continued with ''Film/Deadpool2'' making some sly shout-outs to ''Wonder Woman'' that Gal Gadot personally found endearing and funny. It also helps that Creator/GailSimone previously wrote for both of the characters' comics.

* Film fans looking forward to ''Film/{{Barbie|2023}}'' and ''Film/{{Oppenheimer}}'' got along very well due to the films sharing a release date (July 21, 2023). Despite the drastically different tones and subject matter, a lot of people declared that they were going to see both movies as a DoubleFeature rather than try to choose between them. The [[MemeticMutation "Barbenheimer" phenomenon]] even earned its own [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barbenheimer Wikipedia page]]. That unique and uncommon symbiosis benefitted to both films and resulted in the 4th largest opening weekend in Hollywood history, behind ''Film/AvengersEndgame'', ''Film/AvengersInfinityWar'', and the ''Film/TheForceAwakens'', and the first time a movie opened over $100 million while another released the same day opened over $50 million.

** The MCU fandom gets along better with the fandom of ''Film/{{Deadpool|2016}}'' than with those of [[Film/TheAmazingSpiderMan previous]] [[Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast post-Avengers]] [[Film/FantasticFour2015 Marvel efforts]] by other studios mostly because Deadpool's black comedy and graphic violence would be better off in its own universe than in the LighterAndSofter MCU, as well as the entire aspect of Creator/RyanReynolds DoingItForTheArt and (very successfully) pushing his vision of an accurate adaptation of Deadpool onto the big screen. It helps that ''Deadpool'' made a few affectionate shout-outs to the MCU, with MCU producer Kevin Feige offering his consultation and approval to the production crew. This has only gotten stronger with Disney's acquisition of ''Deadpool'' studio Creator/TwentiethCenturyFox, as the buyout addresses any potential DuelingWorks animosity whether or not ''Deadpool'' and [[Film/Deadpool2 its sequel]] will be {{retcon}}ned or integrated into the MCU.

* Due to the three films' shared satire/critique of the elite and wealthy as well as all of them coming out in 2022, fans of ''Film/TheMenu'', ''Film/TriangleOfSadness'', and ''Film/GlassOnion'' get along very well. So much so that the three movies have been dubbed by some as "2022's Eat the Rich Trilogy".

* Compared to the television animation community, the animated film community doesn't have borders between Main/WesternAnimation and {{Anime}}.
* The fandoms of ''WesternAnimation/TheSecretOfNIMH'', ''WesternAnimation/AnAmericanTail'' and ''WesternAnimation/TheGreatMouseDetective'' all seem to get along with one another pretty well (as long as the topic of which film was better is avoided), with a lot of crossover fan-art and fan-fiction existing between them.
* Largely due to releasing around the same time and the respective protagonists' ages being close together, overlapping fandoms of the ''WesternAnimation/RiseOfTheGuardians'', ''WesternAnimation/{{Brave}}'', ''WesternAnimation/{{Tangled}}'' and ''Franchise/HowToTrainYourDragon'' movies became ''Fanfic/RiseOfTheBraveTangledDragons''. Fans of ''Franchise/{{Frozen}}'' are also on good terms with fans of these movies, probably because of the [[WesternAnimation/{{Tangled}} Rapunzel-Flynn cameo]] and Elsa's [[AnIcePerson similar powers]] to [[WesternAnimation/RiseOfTheGuardians Jack Frost]] ([[CrossoverShip in fact, the two are often shipped together]])
* ''WesternAnimation/BigHero6'' fans with the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse fans. They have come up with possible crossovers that involve Hiro joining S.H.I.E.L.D. or Baymax greeting the Avengers.
* While most Franchise/DisneyAnimatedCanon fandoms get along, three in particular often intersect and get along ''especially'' well. "Four Seasons" is the FanNickname for ''Franchise/{{Frozen}}'', ''WesternAnimation/{{Tangled}}'', and ''WesternAnimation/{{Brave}}'' together. The name comes from the main girls being seen as representing seasons: Rapunzel (or Anna) is spring, Anna (or Rapunzel) is summer, Merida is autumn, and Elsa is winter.
* ''WesternAnimation/RiseOfTheGuardians'', ''Franchise/HowToTrainYourDragon'', and ''WesternAnimation/TheCroods'' fans tend to get along well primarily because said fans have a particularly strong liking to the central teenage, male character of each film ([[AnIcePerson Jack Frost]], [[DragonRider Hiccup Haddock]], and [[TheSmartGuy Guy Crood]], respectively).

!!Films -- Live-Action
* ''Film/{{Hulk}}'' and ''Film/{{Logan}}'' surprisingly get along because of the similar tone and dark uniqueness of both Marvel-related films. It also helps that both focus much more on character development.
* The fandom of the ''Film/HarryPotter'' films overlaps with that of Tim Burton's film of ''Film/SweeneyToddTheDemonBarberOfFleetStreet'' due to the many shared actors in both films. Comments on Website/YouTube clips of the latter often jokingly refer to [[Creator/AlanRickman Judge Turpin]], [[Creator/HelenaBonhamCarter Mrs. Lovett]], and [[Creator/TimothySpall Beadle Bamford]] as Snape, Bellatrix, and Pettigrew, respectively.
* ''Franchise/EvilDead'', ''Franchise/ANightmareOnElmStreet'', and ''Franchise/FridayThe13th''. In addition to being three of the biggest horror franchises to come out of TheEighties, its creators were fans of each other's work and referenced each other at least once in their respective films. All three had enough fans to warrant not only [[Film/FreddyVsJason a cinematic crossover between Freddy and Jason]], but also [[ComicBook/FreddyVsJasonVsAsh a comic book crossover between all three]].
* While ''Franchise/{{Alien}}'' and ''Franchise/{{Predator}}'' fans getting along was expected given [[Franchise/AlienVsPredator the series' famous crossover]], there's also an overlap with ''Franchise/{{Terminator}}'', as all were violent 80s sci-fi franchises with some shared cast and crew.
* Giant monster fans of multiple franchises tend to get along very well, despite studio rivalries. ''Film/{{Gamera}}'' fans and ''Franchise/{{Godzilla}}'' fans are prime examples. Fansites to one nearly always include the other and crossover fan-works are extremely common. In that vein, there are plenty of people who love ''Film/PacificRim'' and ''Film/Godzilla2014'' for being big budget giant monster movies in spite of their different tones (and there is a rivalry because of that).
* A surprising OddFriendship has formed between the ''Film/Deadpool2016'' and ''Film/WonderWoman2017'' fandoms even though the heroes are complete polar opposites. It may be because Deadpool's actor Creator/RyanReynolds himself offered his heartfelt congratulations to ''Wonder Woman'' when it outgrossed ''Deadpool''. This cordial relationship continued with ''Film/Deadpool2'' making some sly shout-outs to ''Wonder Woman'' that Gal Gadot personally found endearing and funny. It also helps that Creator/GailSimone previously wrote for both of the characters' comics.
* ''Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse'':
** The MCU fandom gets along better with the fandom of ''Film/{{Deadpool|2016}}'' than with those of [[Film/TheAmazingSpiderMan previous]] [[Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast post-Avengers]] [[Film/FantasticFour2015 Marvel efforts]] by other studios mostly because Deadpool's black comedy and graphic violence would be better off in its own universe than in the LighterAndSofter MCU, as well as the entire aspect of Creator/RyanReynolds DoingItForTheArt and (very successfully) pushing his vision of an accurate adaptation of Deadpool onto the big screen. It helps that ''Deadpool'' made a few affectionate shout-outs to the MCU, with MCU producer Kevin Feige offering his consultation and approval to the production crew. This has only gotten stronger with Disney's acquisition of ''Deadpool'' studio Creator/TwentiethCenturyFox, as the buyout addresses any potential DuelingWorks animosity whether or not ''Deadpool'' and [[Film/Deadpool2 its sequel]] will be {{retcon}}ned or integrated into the MCU.
** Surprisingly, MCU fans are on much better terms with ''Film/MonsterVerse'' fans than ''Franchise/DCExtendedUniverse'' fans. This may be due to both franchises sharing the same actors such as Creator/AaronTaylorJohnson and Creator/ElizabethOlsen for ''Film/Godzilla2014'' and Creator/TomHiddleston, Creator/BrieLarson and Creator/SamuelLJackson for ''Film/KongSkullIsland''. It could also be the fact that Marvel had produced a Godzilla comic book line in the '70s, therefore some Marvel fans consider Godzilla an honorary Marvel character. Regardless, both fandoms like each other so much so that both fandoms would like to see a crossover with The Avengers fighting Godzilla or other famous Kaiju.
** While there ''was'' some rivalry going on, ''Film/CaptainMarvel2019'' fans generally do hold a cordial relationship with ''Wonder Woman'' and ''Film/Shazam2019'' fans. For the former, it was helped by their respective fanbases [[EnemyMine uniting against]] their GirlShowGhetto detractors, as well as the two movies' cast members and directors being supportive of one another (''Wonder Woman'' director Creator/PattyJenkins voiced her enthusiasm for the MCU superheroine movie, while ''Captain Marvel'' star Creator/BrieLarson has been open about being a big Wonder Woman fangirl growing up and even [[TearsOfJoy cried in happiness]] when she saw the movie). For the latter, that positive relationship was helped by ''Shazam'' director Creator/DavidFSandberg and star Creator/ZacharyLevi denouncing trolls trying to drag ''Captain Marvel'' down in favor of ''Shazam'', a sentiment that was repaid for with ''Captain Marvel'' fans encouraging others to go see and support ''Shazam''.
** ''Film/{{Black Panther|2018}}'' fans and ''Film/{{Aquaman|2018}}'' fans get along well with each other since they are the first films in their respective franchises to have both non-white leads and directors, giving the superhero movie genre some much-needed diversity. The fact that DCEU fans [[https://screenrant.com/black-panther-movie-dc-fans-raise-money/ raised money]] for black kids from impoverished backgrounds to see ''Black Panther'' in a nice theater makes it clear that some things (like giving kids of all backgrounds a hero they can see themselves in) override petty rivalries.
** Similar to the above fandom friendship, ''Black Panther'' and ''Film/WonderWoman2017'' fans tend to have a very cordial relationship since both films star a superhero from an often underrpresented group and proved the supposed "beliefs" that black and/or female superheroes don't sell well ''very'' wrong.
** While Star Wars fans as a whole, especially those into the sequels, have a rather massive rivalry with MCU fans for various reasons, the prequel fans and MCU fans have started to get along rather well. It helps that sequel era fans and prequel era fans have their own internal rivalry and "the enemy of my enemy" after all.
** ''Film/SpiderManNoWayHome'', due to its premise, managed to bring fans of the MCU Spider-Man, fans of the ''Film/SpiderManTrilogy'' and fans of ''Film/TheAmazingSpiderManSeries'' together in celebration. There had been ''much'' rivalry over who's the best actor between Creator/TobeyMaguire, Creator/AndrewGarfield and Creator/TomHolland in the years prior, and this film's [[TheMultiverse Multiverse]] approach at least signifies that neither Maguire nor Garfield have been forgotten by Creator/SonyPictures and Creator/MarvelStudios and haven't been invalidated due to the {{Continuity Reboot}}s.
* Several fans of ''Film/{{Willow}}'' have become fans of ''Film/{{Solo}}'', and several people who liked ''Film/{{Solo}}'' have discovered ''Film/{{Willow}},'' thanks to both movies being [[CultClassic oddball]] Lucasfilm productions that both happened to be directed by Creator/RonHoward. Especially since the idea of a sequel/follow-up to ''Willow'' floated around after that, eventually materializing into a Creator/DisneyPlus series project.
* Fans of Creator/HeathLedger's [[Film/TheDarkKnight Joker]] and Creator/JoaquinPhoenix's [[Film/Joker2019 Joker]] get along very well, helped by Ledger and Phoenix having been good friends before the former's untimely death and for both of them winning Oscars for their respective performances. However, it is frowned upon to compare the two, as they're playing very different interpretations of the same character.
* Due to the three films' shared satire/critique of the elite and wealthy as well as all of them coming out in 2022, fans of ''Film/TheMenu'', ''Film/TriangleOfSadness'', and ''Film/GlassOnion'' get along very well. So much so that the three movies have been dubbed by some as "2022's Eat the Rich Trilogy".
