GILDA one of the best femme fatale movies of all time. men's blood boils watching this movie, alternately despising and lusting over rita hayworth. i know cuz i'm one.

MISERY
That should fix you.

TWO LOVERS!
Common link?! What a BITCH!

The French Lieutenant's Woman contains a similar theme.

The French epic
Les Enfants du Paradis
features a character named Garance (played by an actress named Arletty) who cruelly manipulates (and can't be bothered by) at least three men who are pining for her.
In the old b/w film,
The Blue Angel
a simpleton schoolteacher goes to a cabaret to chastise the burlesque dancer all his students are distracted by, and instead he ends up ruining his life over her. She's completely indiferent.
In
Casablanca
Rick Blaine (Humphrey Bogart) is holed up in North Africa running a bar in an effort to escape a bad past and to avoid making a moral decision about the war. Although seemingly together, he's actually a ruined man who's life is further thrown into turmoil when his old love shows up.
A regualr feature of dozens of post-WW2 film noirs is a woman who works a man over. Steve Martin's
Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid
is a pretty funny spoof of the whole genre:
"Women. They tear your heart out of your chest, slice it in little pieces, cook it, serve it to you on a hot plate and you're supposed to say, 'Thanks, honey, it's delicious." - Steve Martin ('Rigby Reardon')
You have to hear Martin deliver that line. It's hysterical.

Fresh Horses could be interpreted that way.

Um to an extent, 'Vanity Fair' and 'Gone With the Wind', I guess. That is to say, Becky and Scarlet are both bitches.
Bit of a messed up request, but Estella is one of the most fascinating characters in any of Dickens novels, so
Waiting for my Mr Colin Firth Darcy

Maybe the suggestion to watch Chicago was a bad one and now she's in jail lol

lol. out of morbid curiosity, i'm wondering the same thing

did they ever end? your days of being jaded?
she loves you
yeahyeahyeah

Thanks for the tips! Closer is actually one of my favorite movies. I forgot about Vanity FairI saw it on a plane once. I think I'll definitely revisit it and check out Chicago, too. Unfortunately, I don't see my days of being jaded ending anytime soon.

LOL, okay hopefully your man hating days will soon end, but in the meantime, try Vanity Fairshe pretty much claws her way to the top of the social circle without a bit of regard for the men along the way. Another one that's not man-hating exactly, but one of my favorite movies where everyone basically screws everyone else (literally and figuratively) and they all really get what they deserve is Closer. Natalie Portman's character in that one is just brilliantyou'll love the ending. And of course there's always Chicago, where the message is, man did bad things to you? Just off himand then sing a song about it! ("He had it coming, he had it coming, he only had himself to blame. If you'd have been there, if you'd have seen it, I bet you you would have done the same!") Have fun!

yeah it is. but try not to let these things affect you too much. besides, we're not all bad guys

life's pretty messed up.

what the hell lol are you serious? that's pretty messed up
