movies/tv Movies about Schizophrenia?

[Haruhi-chan 486]

I'm looking for movies about mental illness, mostly towards Schizophrenia. I've already watched Call Me Crazy, but it doesn't help much. I just want to get a feel for this condition because I really do plan on writing my own version of Alice where she suffers from this. It takes place in modern times too, so it shouldn't be too hard. I don't want any documentaries though. Those are harder to follow. D:

Hmm, I don't know if its in the context of schizophrenia, but Ben X was a really great movie and it helped me with my struggles at that time.

I don't know if these movies are necessarily about schizophrenia specifically, but they offer some insight into mental illness and/or emotional problems.

 

Please note that I don't recommend any of these movies for anyone under 18.

 

• Sucker Punch
   
• Dark City
   
• The Machinist
   
• Shutter Island
   
• Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
   
• Funny Games
   
• A Clockwork Orange
   
• It's A Wonderful Life
   
• Antichrist
   
• Misery
   
• The Taking of Deborah Logan
   
• Donnie Darko
   
• Black Swan

 

I've seen all of those movies other than Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Misery, and Black Swan.

I haven't seen this one yet, but A Beautiful Mind is about a guy who develops schizophrenia.
