Is there movie of a man who stalks a woman?

I'm not saying women don't stalk men, but I was thinking about how more women are killed by men who are stalkers, but they take a more unusual route in the movie of a woman being a stalker.

I wonder why they went for a female being a stalker instead of a man? Was it to add a more unusual twist? Would a man being a stalker be more boring? Women who are over keen on a man are called bunny boilers, but I can't think of a similar name from movies for men who stalk women?

Yes, TONS of Lifetime TV movies.

But as far as more mainstream films, I can think of "Enough" with JLo, "Fear" with Reese Witherspoone, "The Bodyguard" with Whitney. In "One Hour Photo" Robin Williams stalks an entire family.

For TV, "I Can Make you Love Me" which is based on a true story.

Are you just being facetious or are you seriously as out of touch with reality like Alex Forrest? Watch some Lifetime Movie Network or watch some random Tyler Perry bullsh!t and you'll get your answer. Thanks!

Knock it off, Hudson.

My favourite: "I Can Make You Love Me " aka "Stalking Laura"

Except for some of the ones mentioned in other replies, a film that comes to mind is the Swedish language film "To love someone" ("Den man älskar"), where a man is released from prison and starts stalking his ex and her new husband.

I can't think of a similar name from movies for men who stalk women

As others mentioned, two male stalker movies that immediately come to mind are 1983's Star 80 (in which a Playboy Playmate is stalked and killed by her sleazy ex-husband), and Richard Thomas fixating on Brooke Shields in the TV movie I Can Make You Love Me: The Stalking of Laura Black (1993).

Both are based on true stories.

There was also some awful thing in 1982 with Morgan Fairchild called The Seduction. She plays a newscaster that a viewer becomes obsessed with...and I'm ashamed to say I have seen even bits of this flick! These days it would be a straight-to-video thing.

You also have a lot of movies where men capture women after fixating on them...like The Collector (1965) and Tattoo (1981).

I'd say to OP's question much more than woman stalking a man.
