16) Matchstick Men (2003)

Matchstick Men is a great pick for Psychology majors as it follows the story of a con artist, Roy Waller, played by Nicholas Cage, and his daily struggle with OCD and Tourette syndrome. It further demonstrates how Roy's condition affects practically every aspect of his life, covering everything from his work down to his relationships. As the story goes along, one observes even deeper symptoms of OCD, such as compulsive reactions and obsessive thoughts. It also emphasizes how past traumas can manifest themselves in some way through mental health issues.
