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

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. -
