just watched phonebooth which sort of had a DONT CHEAT! moral, and kind of jarred the thought.  hmmm....what are some of the most heartwrenching movies that deal with infidelity (or near infidelity), and its terrible aftermath?  a few that come to mind...

-TWO FOR THE ROAD
-EYES WIDE  SHUT
-MOULIN ROUGE
-HIGH FIDELITY
Christopher Nolan's directive was clear to everyone in the cast and crew: Use CGI only as a last resort.

Basic Instinct is probably the ultimate example of this topic.
Some others:
The Ice Storm
What Lies Beneath
Jules and Jim
A bunch of Woody Allen movies

The corpses all hang headless and limp bodies with no surprises and the blood drains down like devil's rain we'll bathe tonight I want your skulls I need your skulls I want your skulls I need your skulls Demon I am and face I peel to see your skin turned inside out, 'cause gotta have you on my wall gotta have you on my wall, 'cause I want your skulls I need your skulls I want your skulls I need your skulls collect the heads of little girls and put 'em on my wall hack the heads off little girls and put 'em on my wall I want your skulls I need your skulls I want your skulls I need your skulls

I'm really losing it lately, I meant to say Fatal Attraction not Basic Instinct. Damn Michael Douglas and his penchant for infidelity movies. Add A Perfect Murder to the list.

I think no one mentioned Magnolia because infidelity is only one theme of the movie.  The film doesn't revolve around it.

who said it should be the main theme? alot of the titles mentioned do not fit that description.

Well, a majority of them do.  Moulin Rouge (and maybe even the Ice Storm--but then maybe not) I would take exception to as having a main infidelity theme, but the rest do revolve around it.
