_Death Becomes Her_ is another example.

[Garnet, Amethyst, and Pearl . . . and Steven](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PfKUdmTq2MI)!  
(OK, not a film, but I couldn’t resist.)  
For a 2Gls-1Gy dynamic in film, there’s _[My Best Friend’s Wedding](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0119738/)_.

To be fair, if you Google for “linoleum” you get porn too.

No, you don’t. I realize that you were joking, but let’s be honest here. I do a lot of Googling to answer questions on the SDMB, and I very rarely get porn websites from those searches. Incidentally, my apologies to Richard John Marcej. I either missed the post where he mentioned _Death Becomes Her_ or I forgot about it while I was doing some searches for other things.

Diabolique.  
Also, Fried Green Tomatoes in a funky way. The “modern” part with Evelyn, Ninny, and Evelyn’s husband…and the flashbacks with Idgie, Ruth, and Ruth’s husband (Frank?).

Thelma and Louise? It’s been a long time since I saw it, but wasn’t a large part of the movie spent with the two women and Brad Pitt?

No Exit by Sartre (the one that gave us the quotation “Hell is other people”) is one man, two women for the vast majority of the play.

In _The Legend of Korra_, the love triangle consists of a guy, Mako, who likes two different girls, Korra and Asami. Eventually they decide they’re better off without him and end up as a couple themselves. 😃
