Movies for teaching

Tweet

I am currently showing the movie "A Beautiful Mind" to my high school psychology class. It is a great way to get them interested in mental illness, treatment, and more. I have them look up a biography of John Nash and check the accuracy of the movie. Of course, they find that the movie is romanticized quite a bit, but the topic of schizophrenia is reinforced as they read of how it affected him. What other movies do you suggest? Give me ideas for possible class topics and movies that relate to them. I love to teach with movies!
