Closer and Match Point are one of my faves too !
You should watch American Beauty and Mr.Brooks. You will love both trust me.

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 think this is a copy of "A place in the sun" (1951) by George Stevens.

It's A Place in the Sun if Montgomery Clift's character had been lucky. He wasn't.and was caught.

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.

If you haven't already seen it, Cassandra's Dream had a lot of the same "feel" as Match Point. I think Match Point is a slightly better movie, but I think you'll like it if you like Match Point.

A Place in the Sun with Montgomery Clift and Elizabeth Taylor. it's an excellent movie with a very similar story line as Match Point.

I love "A Place in the Sun' . Match Point doesn't even come close , in fact I did not like it at all.

I loved Match Point. Great movie. It reminded me of Friday the 13th part 3. The 3D version that is.

I can see the comparison. The scene at the beginning of Friday 3-D when the woman with curlers is yelling at her husband for eating too much is very dramatic, and IMO, Oscar-worthy.

This is a masterpiece, and an instant classic. I would say that American Beauty or the Man with the Golden Arm are masterpieces and instant classics in their own way. The former has been mentioned before, but nobody has mentioned the second one.
I love the way everything is explained and twisted in Match Point. The story begins even before the characters meet each other. I specially like the fact that Allen never went to the clumsy love-at-first-sight plot which all the films introduce in their plots. I won't say that it doesn't exist in real life, but in films, it's a lazy way of creating love affairs which don't make any sense or have no point at all besides creating the same boring bedroom scene of two making love.

As another poster pointed out, it's practically a remake of Woody's own film Crimes and Misdemeanors.

I loved both Match Point and Closer. It's hard to find similar movies, but The Talented Mr Ripley gives me the same vibe. The wealthy family drama and a plot that suddenly turns dark.

To me it felt very much like a Chabrol film: upper classes, murder, infidelity, conscience, hypocrisy, dry satire, close attention to the methodical planning and execution of the crime. The Chabrol film I'd say it has most in common with would be The Unfaithful Woman. Too old? Tough luck.

A lot of Hitchcock mentioned here and yeah, this film has quite a Hitchcock feel. I know you said not too old but Rebecca comes to mind for me.
Bit of "film noir" to it like Woody's Crimes and Misdemeanors. Out of the Past, Angel Face, Shadow of a Doubt etc. A genre to explore.
