Possible candidates for The Cassandra:

Peter in Film/Extinction (2018) has nightmares/visions that his wife dismisses as being all in his head, and urges him to get checked out at a clinic, as does his supervisor. The visions turn out to predict actual future events.
Steven (the father) in Film/Fear (1996) recognizes that David is a dangerous person whom he doesn't want dating his daughter, but his wife— not having seen what he (and we) have seen— accuses him of being overprotective and overreacting. (This could even be a Sub-Trope called Come On Relax or Take A Chill Pill based on her dismissive behavior.) Steven's concerns are ultimately vindicated.

I have despoilered the title of Flightplan as per our Spoiler Policy:

That makes sense. But I've moved the example here; there's no point just saying the trope is in the film, the point of examples is to provide specific information helping to flesh out the trope as per How To Write An Example. Spoilertext might be required to do so without spoiling the film. Handling Spoilers might be useful in that regard.

Flightplan has a premise based on this.
