Many of these movies have won Oscars, while others should have, but didn't. As we roll out the red carpet and honor this year's best films, keep in mind that there's no shame in having a mental illness.1. Ordinary People (Depression, PTSD, Suicide)My absolute favorite movie of all time because it portrays the human experience of loss so well and it also features psychotherapy in a realistic way. Robert Redford's directorial debut. Mary Tyler Moore, Donald Sutherland, Judd Hirsch and Timothy Hutton wow in their performances.2.

They meet together in a featureless, gray room to take an exam that will determine their fate.This British nominated film takes a simple theme and rolls it on its head. Overall, I enjoyed the psychological spin, plot twists, character play and real-time action that unfolded in this movie. I rented it on-demand via my cable service. If you find it available, see Exam. It bends the rules.And if you've experienced this movie, tell me what you think.

Sure, it’s propaganda, but a poet co-wrote the script, and the cinematography alone qualifies the film as a masterpiece. One Amazon critic called the film ”a fever dream, a plunging rollercoaster ride, a cinematographer’s hallucination, a love song to the power of cinema.” It’s all that and more. A.V.

To the end, actor Rudy Fernandez was well loved. The action star, fondly called “Daboy,” was finally laid to rest Thursday as hundreds of friends, fans, and family members mourned his loss after a two-year battle with periampullary cancer. “We love you Daboy! We will miss you!” fans shouted as the actor was buried at the Heritage Park in Taguig City. As far as I can remember, Rudy Fernandez has been grazing the screens of Philippine Cinema. He will certainly be missed. Read more from The Philippine Daily Inquirer.

Today’s New York Times has a round-up of 15 films in the 13th annual Rendez-Vous With French Cinema 2008 series. One is a documentary by Sandrine Bonnaire about her autistic sister, Her Name is Sabine / Elle s’appelle Sabine: …..throughout her acting career, Bonnaire has also been filming her younger sister, Sabine. Called crazy by her schoolmates and diagnosed as problematic by the authorities, Sabine moved in and out of schools until, in her late 20s, she was put in a mental institution.
