%20SUBJECT%3A%20Susanna%20Kaysen){kind=icon}
Kaysen is an American author who spent 18 months in a 1960s psychiatric hospital and then wrote a memoir about it. Winona Ryder depicted Kaysen as a lost youth who made some mistakes along the way while struggling to find herself — a topic as relevant today as it was then. Angelina Jolie’s in-your-face performance as Lisa Rowe, a fellow patient at the mental institution, was a genuine scene-stealer and earned her an Academy Award. —Saba Mohtasham

Diane (Ione Skye) and her father (John Mahoney) have about as close and touching a father/daughter relationship as has ever been captured on film. So close, in fact, it nearly pushes away John Cusack’s Lloyd, who famously manages to win her heart anyway, thanks to Peter Gabriel and an enormous 1980s boombox.
