'A Harmful Method' and also the Most Freudian Movies Ever

Using the sexy-yet-cerebral 'A Harmful Method,' starring Viggo Mortensen like a certain Viennese physician, now in theaters, Moviefone asks: Where would movies do without pervasive sexual subtext, surreal dream sequences and dad issues? The once-shocking ideas of Sigmund Freud -- like repression of childhood traumas, hysteria and very symbolic dreams -- have prospered in cinema, where pop psychology handily describes every crazed slasher. These gloriously overwrought Freudian films permitted stars and production designers to visit greater than a little mad. Ahead, probably the most Freudian films ever offer celluloid.
