There are a lot of bad movies about insanity––slasher pics and horror movies, mostly––but Fandor offers eight thought-provoking, well-made movies on the subject. These cerebral films will suck you in and make you question your own reality. Best of all, you can watch clips and even the whole film (if you’ve subscribed) on the site. By the way, the layout of this website is beautiful. Here’s one of the films:

A toxic combination of lust, jealousy and obsession sets in motion the downfall of a buttoned-up professor (Emil Jannings) in this Weimar Germany era tragedy. An instructor at a local boy’s school, Immanuel Rath is as conservative as they come, but even he isn’t immune to the seductive wiles of cabaret singer Lola Lola (Marlene Dietrich). Abandoning his respectable life to be with his beloved temptress, Rath is forced to suffer the indignity of performing as a lowly cabaret clown, all the while enduring Lola’s taunting and philandering. It all becomes too much to bear and Rath hits rock bottom, suffering an explosive mental meltdown that you won’t soon forget.

Full story at Fandor.

Let’s all go to the movies.
