I Need some psychological thriller movie recommendations.

I need some recommendations for some psychological thriller movies, stuff like:

Memento
Don't Say A Word
The Game
A Perfect Murder
Dressed To Kill

that kind of stuff....

Ya a bunch of these are Michael Douglas thrillers, but thats all I can think of I need some titles older or new that fit some of these profiles.

Thanks in advance. Post as many titles as you can, I know there are A LOT I am missing.

They've been mentioned, but if you haven't seen them Arlington Road, Last Seduction, and No Way Out are excellent. You might also try The Prestige, The Illusionist, and Skeleton Key.

I would go with Kubrick movies. I would say all of his films have elements of Psychological thriller. The Shining and Eyes Wide Shut are the most prevalent.
