Default Movies that show the mental breakdown of a person.

I just found these movies, such as fightclub, or the number 23. and they really interest me.
The movies that show how insanity slowly takes hold of a person.

Anyways, i was wondering if someone could lead me in the right direction as to what other movies i should consider like this, or just any like it.


***Edit***

Ok, well after seeing this post do so well, and seeing alot of views, obviously other people enjoy these types of movies as well. So I'm making a list of what we've got so far.


Aguirre, the Wrath of God
American Beauty
American Psycho
Apocalypse Now
Dead Ringers
Falling Down.
Fight Club
Girl, Interrupted.
I Am Legend

Raging Bull
Requiem for a Dream
Spun
Taxi Driver.
The Number 23

The only one that comes to my mind is The Shining. Not the shitty remake either. You can't have the Shining without Jack Nicholson.

Manic.

Don Cheadle is great in it. You can find it on Youtube.

Girl, Interrupted.
Seriously, it was such a good movie.

Manic. Requiem for a Dream and Spun (if you mean drug insanity). The Aviator. Thirteen.

There is a remake?!

Also try The Machinist (It's not the best film in the world but it's pretty good at showing mental breakdowns and Christian Bale is great in it).

Vertigo for the ultimate journey through the mind of an obbsessive man.

American Psycho, although he was pretty nuts to begin with, still a good film.
