Emiko and Ogata were already together when the film starts, but Serizawa knew about their relationship. In contrast, Serizawa revealed his horrible secret while Emiko's affair was hidden from her father's eyes. Then Godzilla came and destroyed Tokyo twice over, to the point Emiko felt she had no choice but to reveal his secret weapon: The Oxygen Destroyer. Another character contrast is also revealed: Ogata wanted to use the Destroyer to kill Godzilla, but Serizawa does not. After a scuffle, Serizawa knew the weight of Japan's fate is on his shoulders, and voluntarily uses it. How does it end? He [[HeroicSacrifice gave up his own life so they can be together]].

* In Film/TheQuietEarth between Api, Joanne and Zac. They ''are'' the only known people left, so it's not surprising.
* ''Film/TheRoaringTwenties1939'' has one between Eddie, Jean and Lloyd. [[spoiler:Jean and Lloyd end up getting married during a TimeSkip.]]
* While this was averted for the most part in [[{{Film/Thor}} the first movie]] (although it implied that [[ShipTease Sif was interested in Thor]]), it was advised that there would be a love triangle between Thor, Sif, and Jane in ''Film/ThorTheDarkWorld''. But Thor still clearly loves Jane, and while Sif tried to show her affections for Thor, he remains [[ObliviousToLove oblivious to her]]. [[ShipperOnDeck Odin]] wants Thor and Sif together, like in the comics. The only real moment is when Sif passes Jane and glares at her, to which Jane glares a little back.
* In ''Film/TopHat'': Jerry loves Dale, who also has Alberto madly in love with her. Dale believes that Jerry is the husband of her best friend, but slowly finds herself falling for him.
* In Film/{{Tron}} between main character Flynn, ex-girlfriend Lora and her current boyfriend Alan, writer of the eponymous program. This carries over into the computer world with Alan and Lora's program expies, Tron and Yori (with whom Flynn shares a LastKiss).
* In ''Film/XMenFirstClass'', Raven and Hank hit it off almost instantly, but the moment he refuses to accept his mutant form (and ''her'' mutant form) drives her to attempt to seduce Magneto, who prefers her natural appearance just the way it is.
* ''Literature/TheHungerGames'' movies play up the barely-even-there-at-all love triangle from the books into a much bigger thing, presumably to cash in on the ''Literature/{{Twilight}}'' fad. The first movie isn't so bad but [[Film/TheHungerGamesCatchingFire the second]] manages to make it seem like Katniss is in a relationship with the guy she never has romantic feelings for in the book, while her relationship with the other boy is very downplayed. Suzanne Collins, who wrote the books, has stated that she didn't plan a love triangle of any kind but her publisher insisted that she add one.
* In ''Film/TwoForTheRoad'', there's a minor one, before Mark and Joanna get together, and a major one later, almost leading to divorce.
* ''Film/PrimeCut'': Lee Marvin's character has two love interests, a teenage prostitute and the middle aged wife of the BigBad.
* ''Film/IShotJesseJames'': Both Robert Ford and John Kelley have feelings toward Cynthy Waters, and work toward earning her affection. Bob's reputation as the killer of UsefulNotes/JesseJames makes the triangle even more intense. In the end, she chooses to [[spoiler: stay with John]].
* ''Film/{{Filibus}}'': Leo is in love with Leonora, who is in love with the Count de Brive. When the Count turns out to be Filibus, they decide the natural course of action is for Leo and Leonora to get engaged.
* ''Film/CanyonPassage'' has two overlapping love triangles. Lucy Overmire is engaged to George Camrose, whose best friend is Logan Stuart. As a result of spending a prolonged length of time in each other's company, Lucy and Logan develop feeling for each other, but neither will act for fear of hurting George. Meanwhile, Logan is engaged to Caroline Marsh. Vane Blazier is in love with Caroline and, noting Logan's interest in Lucy, warns him not to do anything that would hurt Caroline. Ultimately everything is resolved when [[spoiler:George commits murder and goes on the run before being shot by the posse chasing him. Caroline realises that she doesn't share Logan's ambitions, and releases him from him promise so he can leave to pursue his dream. Logan and Lucy ride off together to rebuild Logan's fortune, and Vane proposes to Caroline, with the two of them planning to settle down and start a farm]].
* ''Film/DeadOfNight'': In "The Golfing Story", Potter and Parratt are both in love with Mary, who loves each of them equally. They eventually agree to break the deadlock by playing a round of golf: the winner to receive Mary's hand in marriage. Mary enthusiastically agrees to this proposal.
* ''Film/PlanB'' has a love triangle between Laura, her ex-boyfriend Bruno, and her new boyfriend Pablo that starts out simple enough with Bruno wanting to get back together with Laura who's willing to [[YourCheatingHeart spend some nights with him]] but refuses to dump Pablo for him. But then things get a lot more complicated when Bruno starts suspecting that Pablo -- who doesn't know that he's Laura's ex or that Laura is cheating on him with Bruno -- [[AmbiguouslyBi may be attracted to him]] and decides that the best way to encourage him to dump Laura is to [[FauxYay seduce him away from her]]. Long story short, [[spoiler:Bruno and Pablo [[PairTheSuitors end up together]] after Bruno realizes that he [[RomanticFakeRealTurn fell in love with Pablo for real]], and Laura is left in the lurch]].
