* ''Film/Barbie2023'': Despite the fact that Gloria is married, most fans ship her with Barbie instead, due to the chemistry between their actresses, Barbie being Gloria's doll, and the fact that Gloria's husband is only in two scenes and doesn't even get a name.

** James Bond is, of course, [[TheCasanova hardly the type to settle down]] (except [[Film/OnHerMajestysSecretService that one time]], and it's implied he was at least considering it [[Film/TheSpyWhoLovedMe a few]] [[Film/LicenceToKill other]] [[Film/TheWorldIsNotEnough times]]), but with fans who think he ''should'', the most popular pairing, at least among female fans on Website/LiveJournal, seems to be not with any of his [[BondGirl lovely companions]] from his adventures but rather with his perennial {{UST}} object, [=MI6=] secretary Moneypenny. The ones that aren't YaoiFangirls, anyway; those typically pair him with [[Film/GoldenEye Alec]]. They shared ''everything'', you know...

* ''Film/LiveFreeOrDieHard'': While John [=McClane=] had his tumultuous marriage to Holly in previous movies and Matthew Farrell has his budding romance with Lucy in this one, fans expressed far more interest in [=McClane=] and Farrell getting together due to the movie being centered around their dynamic and Creator/BruceWillis and Creator/JustinLong having good chemistry too. Most of the fanfiction about the film series as a whole is John/Matt.

** In the 2024 adaptation, fans have latched onto Cady/Regina, due to the chemistry between Angourie Rice and Renee Rapp. The two of them each mention how pretty the other is at least once. This is also helped by Renee implying (possibly jokingly) that she played Regina as a lesbian.

* ''Film/{{Oppenheimer}}'': The titular Oppenheimer is canonically paired with his wife Kitty, but online his shipwith Ernest Lawrence is more popular due to their close friendship and the chemistry between Creator/CillianMurphy and Creator/JoshHartnett. Those who don't ship Oppenheimer with Lawrence tend to [[CrossoverShip ship]] him with Barbie from the [[Film/Barbie2023 film of the same name]] over any of the canon options, due to the Barbenheimer memes and the fact that the two [[FriendlyFandoms fandoms get along very well]].

* ''Film/BillAndTed'' has, well, [=Bill/Ted=]. The fact that their actual girlfriends qualify as [[SatelliteLoveInterest Satellite Love Interests]] helps. Most fanworks for the film tend to be for the ship, especially on Tumblr.

* ''Film/CruelIntentions'': There are very few fanfics for the canonical pairing of Sebastian/Annette around the internet. Most fans were rooting for Sebastian to end up with his scheming stepsister [[EvilIsSexy Kathryn]], due to the main instigating force being them making the bet, which involves Kathryn letting him sleep with her, and Kathryn getting the DracoInLeatherPants treatment due to being played by Creator/SarahMichelleGellar.

* The ''Film/QueenOfTheDamned'' fandom in general favors the vampire/vampire pairing Lestat/Akasha over the human/vampire pairing Lestat/Jesse. This despite Akasha being portrayed as pure evil and a bloodthirsty megalomaniac who wants to drink the world dry, Akasha had EvilIsSexy going for her while Jesse was made into a DamselScrappy and mousy VampireVannabe who just got on viewers' nerves.

* ''Film/{{Chloe}}'': The film ends with Catherine reconfirming her love with her husband David, but next to no fans ship her with him. Instead, most fans ship her with the titular Chloe, who becomes [[{{Yandere}} obsessively in love with Cathrine]], due to them finding Chloe sympathetic and feeling that they have better chemistry.

* The OfficialCouple in ''Film/StarTrek2009'' is Spock/Uhura. There is a sizable section of the fandom for whom Kirk/Spock is the FanPreferredCouple, a carry over from the [[Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries original TV series]] where Kirk/Spock was vastly more popular than any other ship, and some of them believe that Spock/Uhura was put in purely to dissuade Kirk/Spock shippers. In the second reboot movie they introduced Dr. Carol Marcus as Kirk's potential love interest, but this did little to stop the Kirk/Spock shippers.

* ''Film/{{Scream}}'':
** Despite it being revealed that Billy Loomis [[spoiler:never loved her and was plotting to kill her]], many fans to this day still ship Sidney Prescott with Billy, mainly due to their chemistry and Billy getting a healthy dose of DracoInLeatherPants. It is far more popular than her pairing with Mark Kincaid, [[spoiler:who the [[Film/Scream2022 fifth film]] reveals she married and had children with.]]
** Despite the [[Film/ScreamVI sixth film]] having Tara Carpenter get together with Chad Meeks-Martin, it is still far more popular to pair Tara with Amber Freeman, even with Amber being [[spoiler:dead after trying to kill Tara and her friends in the fifth film]]. This is mainly due to the chemistry between Tara and Amber and the fact that Tara and Amber were dating in the original script for ''Film/Scream2022''. It's also easily more popular than the canon Amber/Richie Kirsch.

* ''Film/TheBlackPhone'': The ending of the film [[ImpliedLoveInterest implies that Finney starts a relationship with his crush, Donna]]. However, most fans prefer to pair him with his friend Robin, mainly due to their chemistry and Robin encouraging Finney to stand up for himself, plus many feeling that Donna is not given much in the way of character.

* ''Film/CharliesAngels2019'': Jane is canonically paired with Langston, but next to no fans ship her with him. Instead, most fans ship her with her fellow angels Elena and Sabina, either individually or [[OneTrueThreesome both at the same time]], mainly due to them feeling that she has better chemistry with them.
