Irene -- movie I use all the time is "Higher Learning".  Some other
sociologists don't like it because it does use a lot of stereotypes,
but I have had very few negative reactions from students, and it gets
the points across well.

In Family classes, I have used "Kramer vs. Kramer".  A little outdated,
but also gets to issues of male/female roles, etc.  Also used "When a
Man Loves a Woman" and "Fatal Attraction".  The latter has been used in
a lot of research, so there is stuff on Lexis/Nexus that refers to it...

"Fresh" for drug stuff, along with "Rush" or "Trainspotting".  The latter
two have gotten very mixed reviews by students, so I use them only in
a crunch.

PBS names are eluding me right now, but there was a series of videos done
specifically for Psychology that has a couple on social psych.  Talks
about the Zimbardo prison experiment and other things like that.

Another documentary is "Seven-Up" which follows kids every 7 years to see
how their lives progress.  Also "Roger and Me".

I'll get back to you if I can remember any of the other tv stuff.
