one flew over the cukoo nest is based on a nook and stars jack nicolson that is really good. There is also The Cell which is about this machine that allows you to get in to peoples heads they eventually use it on this guy who has murderd all these women and turned their bodies in to dolls unfortently it stars jennifer lopez but you ccan picture killing her through out the movie.

On the Edge of Innocence(
http://imdb.com/board/10119829/
) is a good movie, it's little bit of a copy of this movie but James Marsden's hotness makes up for it -

I have to say movies about "mental illness" usually disappoint me i saw Prozac Nation but it nowhere near portrays why depression is such a hard disease and nowhere near focuses on the use of Prozac.. when i saw it all i could think was like "alright, so this girl had a hard time dealing with freshman year of college" which, of course, was not the point.
Girl Interrupted was good.. Crazy Beautiful was over Hollywoodized I liked Mad Love but I suspect it is because I like it 10 years ago when i first saw it.
It really does depend on the mental illness you want to know about because it can range from anything from autism to bipolar disorder..
In which case, my favorites are:
This Movie
Rain Man
Requiem for a Dream (although that's about drug addiction come to think of it)
I think TV shows have a better time at explaning these illness at greater depth.. in which case i would recommen Six Feet Under.. the entire shopw, but particulary the season where Billy looses it.. -

I don't think they were mentally ill, reallyjust weird. lol
And yall are missing the classic ones. Cybil & the many faces of Eve
I love the snake pitt, it's one of those amazing movies!
The only gripe I have about this movie is that they keep saying she's clinicly depressed when it's so much more. Bipolar & schitzophrenic paranoia at least.
Zack: I like the way you think, sweet thang!
Cody: You like anything she thinks, desperate thang! -

Exactly what I was thinkingwhen anyone even mentions this type of thing, I instantly think of Sybil and The Three Faces of Eve.
Identity
Me Myself and Irene
Awakenings (in a wayabout catatonia)
Kind of a broad subject though, as mental disorders are numerous. Like are we counting films with sociopaths? Because that would include tons of horror films. Or is this strictly for movies in which the mental disorder is a key subject?
Personally, I think I have too much bloom. Maybe that's the trouble with me. -

I'm gonna take your advise and try to watch that one,
Blue Sky
.
But i have my prefered ones starting by
Mr. Jones
,1993. I'm bipolar myself, that's why i think it's pretty real (wether i've never had that relation with my shrink).
Some Voices
, 2000 (with new Bond: Daniel Craig) Nice story about another mental illness.
I would also recommend
K-PAX
, 2001. Where almost whole action is taking place in a wonderful psychiatric hospital, and is all about relations doctor-patient.
there should be more
