ST Crowdsource: Movies that have Mental Illness as a main theme

Posted by amoxy (aka amoxy) Aug 11 '14, 13:25

Watching Six Feet Under with Billy being Bi-Polar, got me to thinking of other movies/TV Shows with a Mental Illness theme.

I only have

One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest
Silver lining Playbook
