- DirectorTim PrescottStarsSalvatore StellaCamilla RowlandEmily HoltA nice guy with a history of schizophrenia battles the voices he hears, a judgmental society and the hazards of social media as he attempts to make a new friend.Hilariously offensive, touching and very well observed, this is a hidden gem among voice-hearing films. It's quality of script, story and acting really holds its own against other bigger budget films on this list.
- DirectorRon HowardStarsRussell CroweEd HarrisJennifer ConnellyA mathematical genius, John Nash made an astonishing discovery early in his career and stood on the brink of international acclaim. But the handsome and arrogant Nash soon found himself on a harrowing journey of self-discovery.Classy, clever and well-acted. The first time I noticed Russell Crowe in a film.
- DirectorPhil Alden RobinsonStarsKevin CostnerJames Earl JonesRay LiottaIowa farmer Ray Kinsella is inspired by a voice he can't ignore to pursue a dream he can hardly believe. Supported by his wife, Ray begins the quest by turning his ordinary cornfield into a place where dreams can come true.Majestic. Made me fall in love with Kevin Costner... and I saw it 15 years after it was released!
- DirectorMarjane SatrapiStarsRyan ReynoldsGemma ArtertonAnna KendrickA likable guy pursues his office crush with help from his evil talking pets, but things turn sinister when she stands him up for a date.I kinda liked this, even though many critics panned it. If nothing else, it tells you why someone who suffers from delusions might not want to take their medicine.
- DirectorPete DocterRonnie Del CarmenStarsAmy PoehlerBill HaderLewis BlackAfter young Riley is uprooted from her Midwest life and moved to San Francisco, her emotions - Joy, Fear, Anger, Disgust and Sadness - conflict on how best to navigate a new city, house, and school.Okay, so not exactly a "hearing voices" film, but close enough. Populist, but worth a watch. I particularly like some of the observations, like how tunes from years ago appear in your head out of nowhere.
- DirectorTerry GilliamStarsJeff BridgesRobin WilliamsAdam BryantA former radio DJ, suicidally despondent because of a terrible mistake he made, finds redemption in helping a deranged homeless man who was an unwitting victim of that mistake.Although the overriding theme isn't really about voice-hearing, I love Robin Williams and I love Jeff Bridges. Very sweet and heart-rending.
- DirectorMartin ScorseseStarsNicolas CagePatricia ArquetteJohn GoodmanHaunted by the patients he failed to save, a monumentally burned-out Manhattan ambulance paramedic fights to maintain his sanity over three increasingly turbulent nights.I'm not sure if this falls completely into the category of hearing voices, but it's a Scorsese film that's close enough. Love the performances and the glorious visual motifs of this film.
