Little Children, is a recent one that comes to mind.
Faces by Cassavetes is kind of about cheating.

Trying to figure out a way to get away with it?

Oh, no one mentioned Disclosure. Ok, while not that good, it wouldn't be so bad being sexually harassed by Demi Moore... except for the married thing.

Unfaithful is one of my fave movies of all time. Also, The Ice Storm dealt with cheating a little. And John Tucker Must Die which is better than I thought it would be.

L'Enfer deals with the perception of a wife's unfaithfulness. That's a great movie. Closer is another.

Seriously. I believe the question was about which movies, not their artistic merit. But, true, it's not exactly a work of art. It was also the first thing (for whatever reason) that popped into my head.

I am a big fan of Dial M for Murder and I would never argue that A Perfect Murder is as good or better. But a pile of garbage? Hardly.

And BTW, the alternate ending is much better. I think the story is that they weren't very pleased with the original ending so they decided on filming an alternate. By then, Paltrow was in England filming Sliding Doors (another good movie where infidelity plays a large role) so at great expense they packed up the set and hauled it all the way over there, filmed the new ending and then... didn't use it. They went with the original which was much more conventional and politically correct.

Spoiler:
The alternate, they felt, was not sympathetic enough to Paltrow's character, who was hardly faultless to begin with for the whole mess. But I still felt like she was the "good guy" between the two and I loved what she did in the alternate.
