In "A Beautiful Mind" starring Russell Crowe, his character Jonathan Nash struggles with the symptoms of paranoid schizophrenia (including delusions) as he lives his life and watches the pain it brings to his family. The movie was greatly successful, earning a total of four academy awards.
In "Donnie Darko" starring Jake Gyllenhaall, the story follows a 16 year old named Donnie trying to find the meaning of his "doomsday themed" hallucinations and delusions.
These are the two most popular movies that are based around someone with Schizophrenia. However, there are dozens and dozens of movies that have to do with this illness. However, unfortunately Hollywood has created a stereotype in which most of the movies are of the horror genre.
