Ha, well obviously...the next time I hear a complement our of your lips, I think the world will end.

I like this list. Makes me want to go out and watch them all in one go, to feel fuzzy inside.
I've got some more to add, but would be *spoilers*. So I won't :-)

More light-hearted than many of the films already in the list. :)

How about Awakenings with Robert De Niro? Not about mental illness as such more a neurological condition.

I bring a message from Thilian:
Tell Gemlil to add Sling Blade, The Squid and the Whale, and What's Eating Gilbert Grape to her list of movies about mental illness."

How about "High Tension"? I won't say why, as spoilers would be involved. I like your list though.

Take out "Squid and the Whale", add Mozart and the Whale (I think that's what chibiyusa meant).

Also add Phoebe in Wonderland, The Soloist, and Front of the Class.

Ta!

How about Repulsion?

Also, Pumpkin.

For anyone who loves movies that are so bad they're funny, this is the ticket.

*sobs* It was consensual!

If you're having trouble keeping up with this list, might you share with me? I'm usually up to date on mental illness movies and don't have too many lists to take care of.
