A handsome and successful young man with a lovely fiancée, James Jackson seems to have everything going for him, but his life begins to unravel when he develops an acute sense of paranoia.

* Primer (fantastic puzzle movie, filmed on a $7,000 budget)
* Abre Los Ojos (Vanilla Sky is the shitty American remake of this film)
* Revolution #9 (best fictional depiction of schizophrenia I've ever seen)
* Memento (filmed backwards, about a man with a 5 minute memory)
* Fight Club
* The Game
* Naked Lunch (the last good Cronenberg movie)
* Videodrome
* Dead Ringers
* Zoo: A Zed and Two Noughts
* Last Year at Marienbad
* Requiem for a Dream
I highly recommend watching a movie called "Revolution #9". Though it is fiction, I've never seen a better depiction of schizophrenia.
Be warned, though, that it's pretty disturbing and depressing. Not something you want to see on a first date.

For a good, unromanticized, fictional account of schizophrenia watch "Revolution #9"
