Here is a compiled
list of responses I received regarding the use of feature films in intro
psychology. We are planning this
to be a critical thinking course and will tie in readings related to contemporary
issues in psychology. We are still
in the early planning stages of the course but once we have the details worked
out I will post our list of films. Gary Gary

First Sight Perception Twelve O’Clock High Leadership,
Group processes Silence of the Lambs Culture, Deviance, and Psychopathology The Matrix Perception
(I’d also use it for Consciousness) TWELVE
ANGRY MEN (1957, not rated). Social
group processes in a jury. MY
FAIR LADY (1964, G). Prof.
Henry Higgins uses conditioning principles on Liza Doolittle. CLOCKWORK

cautiously. ORDINARY
PEOPLE (1980, R). Cognitive
processes in mental illness and therapy. AWAKENINGS
(1990, PG-13). Attitudes
and images of people with brain disorders. FLATLINERS
(1990, R). Although
the characters are medical students, the film actually reflects the psychodynamic
perspective because it shows that long-ago traumas come back to haunt you
unless you face them head on and develop insight. REGARDING
HENRY (1991PG-13). Recovery
from brain damage. PRINCE
OF TIDES (1991, R). Psychodynamic
issues in a disturbed family. Also, raises ethical questions about
psychotherapist's relationships. SWING
