Sondra Bullock in “While you were sleeping” I would say is a Stalker or worse. She watches the same man every day while he is waiting for the train. The day he is injured she tells his family she is his girlfriend and then later his fiance. This leads her to be welcomed into his home, his family’s home, their holiday celebrations etc.
She was also just in a bomb of a movie that just did horrible at the box office, so I don’t know the name. But she goes on ONE blind date with Bradley Cooper’s character, he says we should do this again and she takes him literally. She follows him across country and stalks him to his work place, then becomes the one everyone loves and makes him the bad guy.

So there are female stalkers in movies

Meyer is a Mormon and many of the characters reflect a patriarchal LDS worldview.

Is anyone else creeped out by the fact that Edward is pursuing a woman hundreds of years younger than him?

Meg Ryan was doing research, the equivalent of Googling someone you met online before meeting them in person.

Ali, I think that Sandra Bullock movie “All About Steve” has her going all stalker on Bradley Cooper. She got a lot of flack for the movie too.

Controlling, stalker-ish females very frequently show up in romantic comedies. They usually take the form of what Nathan Rabin has dubbed the “manic pixie dream girl.” I’m surprised you haven’t seen one with that plot. In terms of quality, the best examples are screwball comedies, which typically involve the inversion of gender roles. Bringing Up Baby is a great screwball comedy, and one of my favorite movies.

In British drama ‘Skins’, a female character nicknamed ‘Sketch’ aggressively stalks a gay male character called Maxxie. She follows him obsessively, almost crushes him with a stage light in fit of jealousy when he kisses another girl for the rehearsal of a school play and even breaks into his house to lie on his bed and smell his clothes.
It’s the most vivid example of female > male stalking I’ve seen on TV.
