films with psychology issues in them

In my psychology class, we're allowed to watch a film once a week, as long as it has something to with psychology. So yeah, I need suggestions please.

So far I've got:

Girl Interupted
Clockwork Orange
Running With Scissors
American Psycho
Good Will Hunting
Hide and Seek

Any suggestions would be very useful
Thanks =]

"Je vais bien, ne t'en fais pas" (In German, the movie is called "Keine Sorge, mir geht's gut" and I do not know how it is called in English)
It is about depression, anorexia and family relationships.

Secretary (about SI) but most likely not a movie to watch in schools

Barfuss (perhaps there is an English translation of it?- barfuß means barefoot) It is about a mentally disabled women with anxiety problems

may. - basically just awesome.
kissed. - about necrophelia, but it really is done in a tastefull manner.
donnie darko. - to an extent.
jacob's ladder - tough to say what it's about without giving to much away. but it's very good.




my whole life has been. running with the wind. and playing with the cowards. it’s so hard to see. i’m fractured within. a poet in a window. we’re bastards and thieves. we’re lovers and saints. we’re holding on to mourning. and in the shadows i will be. until the sunlight melts away. until we tire of murder...fill me up with love...say goodbye when you leave. remember to breath. remember to listen. it’s getting harder to be. the son you want of me. the son i’ll never be.

Do you mean abnormal psychology in particular? Cause psychology covers normal human behavior as well, so any movie that has people in it has psychology in it...

Most of the ones I can think of have already been meantioned, but a few others:
Ordinary People
Obsessed (made-for-TV Lifetime movie, but it was actually pretty good)

Dark City - Sci-fi, *spoilers* an alien race injects a colony of human lab rats with false chemical memories every night backed up with falsified documents and surroundings to determine if we are more than the sum of our memories or if we would continue in the habits and nature that we remember.

Blade Runner - sci-fi, *big spoilers* An android is captured and re-memorized to believe he's a blade runner, a human who hunts androids. He kills off his own convinced of his implanted conviction that they're not real like he is. At the end the final android who nearly kills him allows him to live in order to realize what it feels like to be fake. Essentially it questions what it means to be human.

Sphere - sci-fi, *possible spoilers* a group of first-contact scientists decend deep into the ocean to inspect a downed spaceship. Odd things start happening, they realize the lethal manifestations are being caused by each other. Trust begins to break down, they doubt their own minds and the minds of the few survivors left.

Taxi Driver - drama, A lone cab driver grows an obsession with his own dark perspective on the world and is motivated to action as his life decays. This is the movie Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails watched every day for about a year during one of his depressive phases between albums.

Collateral - drama, more philosophical than psychological, the dynamic between a sensitive cab driver and machine-like contract killer play off each other and they each adopt a bit of the other's views on life, changing them forever.

Fight Club - uhh.. it's that movie, that everyone and their grandmother has in their favorite movie list.

Hide and Seek - Thriller

Deathwatch - Military/horror, Troops securing a German trench start experiencing strange events and claim it's everything from experimental nerve gas to insanity to hell itself.


Manhunter, Silence of the Lambs, Hannibal, Hannibal rising - Drama/thriller, Fairly accurate depiction of psychopathic serial killers.


2001, 2010 - sci-fi, the Hal 9000 AI computer begins killing off the crew because it was essentially told to lie, to conceal a primary objective (making the crew secondary.) This led it to much confusion and fear that had to be dealt with in 2010.

just for a warning dans ma peau(in my skin) is very graphic. Although i think it's a pretty good movie.



It's so easy to get lost in constantly having to present
whatever face you believe a person wants to see rather than your own
