I need psychology centered movies.

Submitted by Dragonian014 t3_z6wr33 in movies

I've already watched Split so I'd really appreciate other recommendations. That said, I also need to know if any of you can say the name of a movie I don't quite remember correctly. It involved a detective trying to determinate with a little girl is responsible for a crime. I'm definitely not sure if that's right. What I do remember is a scene in which the detective and the girl discuss about a question used to test if someone is a psychopath (that one with the hot boy on a funeral and the sister murdered), and I also remember the end in which she incriminate him with maybe her own death so she could run away and never be found;.

When I took AP Psych in high school, we still had about two-three weeks of class after taking the AP test. So the teacher would show us “psychologically themed” movies.

We watched

  • Dr. Strangelove
  • The Manchurian Candidate
  • One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest

and

  • What About Bob?

If you can handle watching a Kevin Spacey movie, K-Pax.

The Cell, with Jennifer Lopez and Vincent D'onofrio.

Reviews are mixed, but there are amazing visual representations of mental illness.

The Cell is an amazing cinematic masterpiece! Sadly, so underrated.

"A Beautiful Mind" if you want a serious tone

"What About Bob?" if you want to laugh

"Joker" if you wanna get depressed

Trance - Danny Boyle with James McAvoy, Rosario Dawson. Really good, dark film with interesting direction. McAvoy plays an art dealer who is hypnotised to find out where he stashed a stolen painting.
