Madness at the movies: prioritised movies for self-directed learning by medical students.

Objective: We aimed to systematically compile a list of 10 movies to facilitate self-directed learning in psychiatry by medical students.

Method: The selected areas were those of the top five mental health conditions from the Global Burden of Disease 2010 study. The search strategy for movies covered an extensive range of sources (published literature and websites), followed by closer examination and critical viewing of a sample.
