Spellbound Favorite
Genre: Drama Year: 1945 Rating: NR-PG-13

One of Hitchcock's best. A man shows up at a mental institution, impersonating the new
psychiatrist. He develops a relationship with another psychiatrist, who then realizes that he is
actually not the person he said he is. Great suspense film!
The Madness of King George Favorite
Genre: Drama/Comedy Year: 1994 Rating: R

A great movie. Psychosis caused by a metabolic disorder (porphyria). Look out if you start peeing
blue!
Tic Code, The
Genre: Drama Year: 1999 Rating: R
Actors: Chris Marquette, Polly Draper, Carol Kane
Topics: Tourette's
Story of a boy with Tourette's Syndrome who becomes an underage jazz pianist. He pairs up with
an accomplished sax player who, ironically, also has Tourette's and has developed strategies for
covering up the symptoms. Interesting contradictions in how each of them views the disorder and
the associated stigma. Think about parallels between Tourette's and Obsessive-Compulsive
Disorder. [Suggested by Rebecca Vauter Stredny, Virginia Consortium Program in Clinical
