Please recommend some "insane Asylum" movies?
I'm a pro photographer and I was going to do some "insane asylum" shots of people, but I need to get me and my models to watch these movies, so they'll know how to move, and what kind of attitude to have.
So can anyone recommend a good movie focusing around insane asylums, or psycho houses, or mental institutions?

It's called begotten, it's disturbing and you only have to skim through it to get distinct body movements and it shows the overall distress and distortion of the human body. It's a really moving and intense film so, it will definitely get you results you want from your models.
Seriously, you'll LOVE it. Best piece of film art I've ever watched.

I highly recommend the movie Twelve Monkeys, when the character that Brad Pitt plays enters for the first time. He is so believable that sometimes I really do believe he's looney and that it takes him a lot of effort to seem normal (or as normal as actors and actresses are).
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest is also said to be good so I highly recommend it as well.
Girl, Interrupted is really a so-so for this sort of thing. Some of the people the main character interacts with are very believable; however, the main two females of the movie aren't very convincing as severe crazies. The lesser characters may give you some neat ideas on different attitudes though since they aren't as OUT THERE as you would imagine most insane people are.
You may be able to make a short visit to a local psych-ward if you call ahead of time. I know that some nursing students visit there a few times a year if their group is fairly small. I would definately call a good time ahead of time and speak to the head nurses to see if it would be feasible to visit for 10 or 15 minutes.
