Are there any other films like Match point?

Another fan of Little Children here. Dark movie, surprising, stays with you after you see it. Someone also mentioned Closer, Clive Owen rips into Julia Roberts, brutal scene. Now I want to watch Match Point, the only movie of the 3 I've seen just once.

It is similar in tone to The Talented Mr. Ripley.
For the sexual sparks, however, I recommend an early 1950s Marilyn Monroe film, Niagara. She plays (seriously) a very Bad Girl. Before my time (a little) but I think it more or less put her on the map, got her noticed, for sure! -

In terms of similarity in morality and motives, I would suggest The Talented Mr.Ripley as well, which was more tense, and more of a psychological thriller than anything.

The one that stuck out in my mind was 'Derailed' - very similar plot in my opinion. It's become one of my favourite movies, if you haven't seen it, I recommend it and hope you enjoy it as much as I did

You have missed the ones that are EXTREMELY similar to Match Point (10/10) and the only criticism I can give is that it is so similar to these excellent films - George Stevens' "A Place in the Sun" (9/10), starring Montgomery Clift abd Elizabeth Taylor and F.W. Murnau's "Sunrise - A song of Two Humans" (9/10), a silent film with George O'Brien and Janet Gaynor, which some have claimed is the best film ever made (I'm not making that claim). Although those two are very similar, I believe March Point is the best of three great movies.

I'm not so sure if my recommendation is any close to match point or even similar, but Match point just remind me of Revolutionary Road. maybe because of the bitter and dark ending.
Beyond a doubt truth bears the same relation to falsehood as light to darkness. -
