Best Psychological Dramas
 

My favorite genre of movie is Psychological Drama and I've seen a lot of the good ones, I'm wondering what other underrated PsyDramas are out there that I should know about?

Afflicted (1997) is very good and I think falls into this category.

Eyes Wide Shut
A Beautiful Mind
Taxi Driver
Nocturnal Animals
The Machinist
Memento
Shutter Island
Gone Girl
Prisoners

And many many more...

You ask what "other" ones there are, but didn't list any of the ones you like for comparison. Which ones did you have in mind, if only so people can avoid the redundancy?

Two quick notes: the title is Affliction, and we did a podcast about it a couple of years ago.

Aye, you're right YODA, a thousand apologies!:)

No worries. A thousand seems a bit much. Let's just say twelve. Twelve apologies. :D

Psychological dramas? Underrated ones? Antwone Fisher comes to mind not sure if that's the type of movie you mean though.

Jacob's Ladder (1990)

Of the movies listed here I've seen all of them except Afflictions and Nocturnal Animals, I've seen a lot a list would be impossible to make

You didn’t answer the question at all lol. What is a psychological drama? What are some you like?

Re: Best Psychological Dramas

Re: Best Psychological Dramas
 

I'd definitely recommend Seconds (1966) by Frankenheimer.

For more Ripley movies try these (in order of preference):
Purple Noon
An American Friend
Ripley's Game

For more adaptations of Patricia Highsmith:
The Cry of the Owl (Le cri du hibou) (1987)
The Two Faces of January (2014)
Strangers on a Train

And naturally most of Hitchcock's films would qualify. Gaslight (1944) is a must-see.
