While, I do not know of a specific movie or educational film on defense
mechanisms, I would probably turn to popular cinema and ask students to
identify defenses from a list that I prepared. 

For example:

The Prince of Tides 
(while not a great movie and fraught with ethical dilemmas) it did
illustrate:

denial
intellectualization
repression
sublimation

You could probably do this with other films. As the teacher pre-identify the
defense mechanisms that you see at work in the characters and then ask
students to describe how they appear in the film.
