Are there any other films like Match point?

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.

Hi, if you haven't seen it yet, check out Woody Allen's Crime and Misdemeanors. There are two story lines: a comic one with Mr Allen at it's centre and a serious, tragic story which is , essentially, the same as Match Point. Match Point, I think, allowed Allen to delve deeper into our morality and the whole darn thing. Still, Crimes is a dynamite movie, has aged well and the two plot lines mesh nicely.
Oh, and it has a killer cast and a fab soundtrack. -

Certain aspects of this film remind me of Eyes Wide Shut and American Psycho. Like that scene where the guy bumps into them all the restaurant and says he seen Chris hailing a cab (presumably around where Nola lived) and he panicked and insisted it wasn't him. The whole mis-identity thing and the feel of the scene reminded me of American Psycho

Gormenghast the BBC TV series is basically an epic fantasy version of Match Point. the same guy plays a very similar character.
The Talented Mr Ripley has a similar idea of a murderous guy working his way into an elite English social circle.
