If you like Girl, Interrupted you should love One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, with Jack Nicholson. Great movie.

Sean Penn- I am Sam- Sean was brilliant in this movie. Oscar worthy performance.

The Hand that Rocks The Cradle- (black gardener)

Russel Crow -A Beautiful Mind

Leonardo DiCaprio- The Aviator (Howard Hughes suffered with obsessive compulsive disorder and reclusiveness)

Jane Eyre

Jolie deserved an Oscar for that role. And Brittany Murphy was spectacular (RIP) we lost a great actress in her...

I like a lot of movies on that list, but I haven't seen them all. The movie "Identity" also deals with dissociative identity disorder. It's pretty good!
