The theme for this week's Monday Movie Meme is all about mixing and mingling in close counters: Awkward Threesomes. Share on your blog or in the comments section, movies featuring one main character who is dating...or previously dated...two or more other characters in the story who share the same circle of friends, family or colleagues.
Although there may be cases of infidelity depending on the film chosen, this week’s theme is NOT about movies that contain cheating. Instead, it is about people who date individuals within the same social circle and may create some sort of unease – possibly due to unresolved feelings between one, both or all parties involved. Here are my selections for this week's Awkward Threesomes theme.

Pearl Harbor
Two Army pilots who’ve been best friends since childhood become at odds with each other when a nurse in the Navy develops a relationship with both of them, in this war drama starring Ben Affleck, Kate Beckinsale and Josh Hartnett.
