Psychological films, and your faves.

We've all probably seen some kind of "psychological [thriller]" flick sometime in our lives, so do you like the genre? And what are you favorite psychological films?

I recommend:

The Village: This movie is very underrated, and disliked by many because they expected it to be scary, bloody, and very suspenseful, but that's probably not what M. Night Shyamalan wanted it to be; but he might have had to market it that way. The ending is very surprising, and really provokes your thoughts on modern society. What's more, the acting is tremendous, especially that of Bryce Dallas Howard. And the score is amazing.

Donnie Darko: A VERY VERY underrated film. It's about a troubled teenager of roughly 16 who, one night, is drawn out of his house and meets a demonic rabbit, who tells him when the world will end. Then an airplane engine crashes through the roof of his house, into Donnie's bedroom. The rest of the movie deals with many concepts like school censorship, God, and the human soul and mind. The ending is open-ended, but for the better. It really makes you think while the beautiful song "Mad World" plays over a montage of characters from the movie. All in all, a masterpiece.

Donnie Darko, underated?! You obviously know nothing, it is extreemly overated.
It seems to be loved by every remotely alternative teenager around. I personally thought it was alright.
I love psycho thrillers though,
Saw and Saw 2. Those are fucking awesome movies, so clever all the stuff he does..

i liked donnie darko, it was a pretty good movie but nothing spectacular. but i have to disagree with the village, i bought it for $5 from a chinese market place and regreted it ever since. psychological thriller is one of my favourite genres.

the best i have seen imo would be:

a Clockwork Orange:
the movie was on tv a few weeks ago it holds amazingly acurate signficance even today, and during the brainwashing scenes i felt Alex's pain. there was no unneeded dialogue in the entire film and it left me happy when it was over.


the Kill Bill movies: I enjoyed the gore and style of the kill bill movies. There isnt much else to point out about it unless you havnt seen them but the story was typical of what Tarantino was trying to create, an old school oriental kung fu kinda flick.

Sin City: I have not been a fan of most comic adaptations onto the silver screen, but sin city blew me away with the acid-noir filming and great stories that slowly came together. I cant wait for the sequel :D

Ravenous, your avatar is frickin' hilarious, but please don't insult my taste in movies.

R_master, Kill Bill and Sin City aren't psychological thriller movies.

Thats me in my avatar, something funny about my face?
Sorry but Donnie Darko is definately not under-rated.

It's okay, I'm just easily offended. LMAO.
