I'm not talking about porn, I don't watch it because I only want to be with her. But I have seen movies(comedies) with nudity.Even though I tell her I don't want to see any other women and didn't look at them, she gets extremely upset. It's to the point where today she discovered I had seen the movie Knocked Up, and she's said she's through with me. The worst part is I saw the movie before we were even together... I don't really want to lose her but I don't know how to deal with this. Maybe she just needs to find someone that meets her (impossible)standards?

I think the question you ask yourself is the one answer to your problem. Yes, she needs to find someone who doesn't watch TV, or the movies, or magazines, or ads along the road, et cetera. Whether we want it or not, sex, or the suggestion of it, is everywhere. If she can't trust you, what's the point of being with you? If she dumps you because you watched a movie, well...
You know, I'm sure you've heard the expression "Sweater girl". Will she get mad if you look at a woman in sweater?

Sounds like she has serious bodily insecurities. Lots of women do, she probably thinks that you find the women in these movies more attractive than her or that you're aroused by them. I'm not sure how you can reassure her and it sounds like her paranoia has run away with her, but try flattering her, reassuring her how beautiful she is, maybe watch movies with male nudity with her so she can get an eyeful too. If she's mad at you for watching a movie as benign as Knocked Up (my memory is bad but I don't recall any nudity in that one anyway? Unless the birthing scene counts and jesus h christ that could not in anyway be interpreted as sexy or arousing) then her insecurities are very deep, very intense... she could be in need of counseling, perhaps?
