Triangles in the movies

Love triangles - is not a new romantic theme, but still relevant. In the movie, as in real life, someone drops out to play the role of the third superfluous. Strange, but for some reason, the "third" in the ordeal of love becomes a loved one is a pair: a friend, a friend, a brother or sister. The pattern? Perhaps ...

The cinema is rich in examples of situations to avoid in order not to cause emotional trauma themselves or dear man. It is easy, of course, say "avoid", but in fact it is easier to stop the affair before she could reach the climax. So, love triangles in the movie, truthful and instructive.
