Question ID: 487037
I need to do a paper for my psychology class, it is to be on
disorders. All I need is a list of movies that adress pediphiles,
eg... they way they act, how they pick victims etc. I need to be able
to diagnoise and talk about their behavior in my paper. I just cannot
think of any movies that adress this issue. Any help would be greatly
appreciated. This paper is due in 12 days.

Hi eckley-ga, 
  
The following movies are about paedophiles...
  
-------------
Bad Education
-------------
  
"Bad Education is about a paedophile priest whose abuse carries a
shockwave effect decades later, skewers some of Almodovar's favourite
targets: the Catholic church and social repression during the Franco
era. Gael Garcia Bernal, from Y Tu Mama Tambien, plays the adult
version of a schoolboy tormented by the priest."

-------------------
The Woodsman (2004)
-------------------
  
"Kevin Bacon is Walter, a paedophile released back into society after
twelve years in prison, battling with his demons and attempting to
live life as a ?normal? person, a task made infinitely more difficult
by the fact that the only empty apartment he can find to rent happens
to be opposite a grade school playground. Hounded by a bitter local
police officer, uneasily rebuilding a friendship with his
brother-in-law, slowly attempting to open up to a beautiful and tough
work colleague, Walter is constantly tested by his skewed perspective
on life and his devastating urges."

------
L.I.E.  ( http://lot47.com/lie/ )
------
  
"Nominated in six categories, L.I.E stars British actor Brian Cox as a
man battling his paedophile tendencies."

---------------- 
Happiness (1998)
---------------- 
  
"At times brilliant and insightful, at times repellent and false,
Happiness is director Todd Solondz's multistory tale of sex,
perversion, and loneliness. Plumbing depths of Crumb-like angst and
rejection, Solondz won the Cannes International Critics Prize in 1998
and the film was a staple of nearly every critic's Top Ten list.
Admirable, shocking, and hilarious for its sarcastic yet strangely
empathetic look at consenting adults' confusion between lust and love,
the film stares unflinchingly until the audience blinks. But it
doesn't stop there. A word of strong caution to parents: One of the
main characters, a suburban super dad (played by Dylan Baker), is
really a predatory pedophile and there is more than an attempt to
paint him as a sympathetic character."

---------------------------------------------
Capturing the Friedmans (2003), (documentary)
---------------------------------------------
  
"Arnold Friedman was a suburban family man, a talented pianist, an
award-winning computer teacher, a 'nebbish', a good father to three
loving sons - and, after a large cache of specialist mail-order
pornography was discovered in his home by the police, he was also
revealed to be a closet paedophile. From interviews with all the young
students listed by name on Arnold's computer, the police uncovered a
monstrous story of abuse and rape perpetrated secretly for years by
Arnold and his youngest son Jesse upon the boys who attended his
computer classes."
