My problem with most of the websites provided so far, is that they focus on the 
clinical/pathology aspect of psychology.

For example, at http://www.Psychmovies.com 
they list Nell--but ONLY from the perspective of a misdiagnosis of some 
pathology.

They completely fail to addres how wonderful this film is in terms of various 
perspectives on language--Southern accents as leading to a perception of the 
speakers as less intelligent; the development of twin speak, developmental 
windows for language development, etc.

Ther are very many films out there for other areas of psychololgy.

I would very much appreciate some ideas posted for films for _other_ 
areas--there are already plenty for every aspect of clinical. 

I have included my list, which I have made available in the past, that covers 
all of the chapters typically covered in an intro to psych class. I started 
with items in the Plotnik text instructor's manual, and since then have added 
quite a few of my own, but in keeping with the format I adopted from there, so 
I give full credit to the author--but I no longer have that ancillary and don't 
know who authored that manual   :( 

I'd like to add to areas without worrying about diagnostic categories of 
pathology!
