First of all, welcome to Year 12 Media. As promised, here is an initial list of psychological thrillers you could start to watch in your own time. I will add to this list as you and others make recommendations. Most of these are fairly accessible and mainstream. We may also look at some of them in class.
The Silence of the Lambs
Copycat
Arlington Road
Pacific Heights
The Hand That Rocks the Cradle
Basic Instinct
Dead Ringers
The Birds
Rear Window
Vertigo
Someone to Watch over Me
Blue Velvet
What Lies Beneath
Sea of Love
Internal Affairs
No Way Out
Narrow Margin
I refer you to Fatima's comment attached to this post for a more exhaustive list of film titles.

ANDDDD I JST REMBERED I QUITE LIKE THE JAPANESE FILM DEATH NOTE 1 ..which shud be a psychological thriller =]
The Godfather films fall more within the Gangster genre, though they do have some thriller elements to them. I haven't seen Death Note 1, maybe you could bring it in for the Film Club and let Mr. Gibbs or I have a look at it.
