Hi.  I teach at the HS level, and I always use As good as it gets in my abnormal chapter.  Almost all the characters can be "diagnosed".  Awakenings work well also.  Hope this helps.

Dear Tipsters,
 
I planned on adding an extra credit assignment to my lesson plan this semester.  It seems like students are always asking..."is there any extra credit?" "what can i do for extra credit to help my grade?"...before i rattle off numerous techniques, like "read the textbook, listen to my colorful lecture, take notes, ", or to some i might say.."show up to class"....well, actually i still say all of these things and more, but i thought of trying it out and offering some extra credit...i wanted it to be light and hopefully entertaining, so i decided to have students watch a movie that is related in some way to a concept in intro to psych and write a one-page paper on how the movie relates to psych...i was hoping that others may offer their suggestions of movies, so that i may offer my students a good selection.  I teach an intro to psych at a community college in california.  i have a short listing of movies that i am considering, any more suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
 
vanilla sky - lucid dreaming, emotional upbringing, attachment,
memento - short-term memory loss (extreme)
requiem for a dream - drug abuse
ordinary people - emotional upbringing or lack of it
a clockwork orange - aversion therapy/classical conditioning
girl interrupted - personality disorders
 
thanks,
