Line 62:
* [[Buster Keaton]]'s silent comedy ''[[The Navigator]]'' shows two people repeatedly missing each other on a ship, in spite of the fact that they're also the only two passengers on the vessel.
* ''[[Minority Report]]'' features an awesome sequence with Anderton and Agatha avoiding the Future Crime cops, utilizing Agatha's future-seeing prediction to place themselves at the right place and right time for seemingly random events to hide them from the cops. (Example: Agatha tells Anderton to stop right in the middle of the mall, in plain view. Just as the cops stop at an overhead walkway to look down, a man with balloons blocks their view of Anderton.)
* In ''[[Beethoven (film)|Beethoven's 2nd]]'', when the puppies are still being hidden from the father, there are several close calls where he almost finds one.
* In the movie ''[[Milo and Otis]]'', Otis the dog, while searching for his friend Milo the cat, goes to several places Milo has been, but he always arrives a little too late.
* In the film ''[[Walkabout]]'' a teenaged girl, and her younger brother are lost in the Australian outback. At about the half way point in the movie we are shown that there is a farm house, just the other side of a hill from them. Of course, they never see it.
* In the relatively little known ''Three For The Show,'' a musical comedy starring Jack Lemmon, Gower Champion, Marge Champion, and Betty Grable, Betty Grable is legally married to Jack Lemmon, and legally married to Gower Champion. At one point in the film, each man is led to believe that Betty has chosen him over the other, which leads to Gower Champion showing up at their apartment to set up for an evening with his wife. Then Jack shows up to set up for an evening with his wife. Then Betty comes home. And all three spend at least five minutes running through the apartment in a fantastic example of this trope.
** Though, at one point in this, Jack is in the bathroom shaving, and Gower is in the adjacent bedroom changing, and each one believes that Betty is on the other side of the door.
* In ''[[The Terminator]]'', [[Agent Scully|Dr. Silberman]] scoffs at the idea of the Terminator, and he leaves ''just'' as the Terminator arrives at the station. He's looking at his pager when he first walks in.
* In ''[[Bajrangi Bhaijaan]]'', Bajrangi and Munni infiltrated in a Muslim festival to escape the Pakistani police, and at some moment they were mere meters away of Munni's mother, who was attending the same festival to pray for her daughter's return to home. They only realized it after the fact, when reviewing some footage Nawad filmed at the festival to have as background for his reporting.
