A TV series I watch on HBO is really good called Big Love and it shows the Mormons in all of their controlling ways some (many) similar to JW's.
Other's that people already mentioned but were great suggestions are The Village and The Truman Show.
what movies have you seen go so hand in hand with the wt to the point where you can use its storyline to explain to somebody what it is like being a jw.
i used the movie "the island" with scarlett johnassen to explain it to a workmate.
she completely understood what it is like being a jw it after i made the comparison.

jonathan,
You should post that comment on the newspaper page under the article!!!! Awesome point!
hi, im paula from wales, uk.
ive been studying for 6 years with jws.
they came at a vulnerable time, my best friend died in a car accident when she was 6 monthes pregnant, i was drinking heavily, no work due to agoraphobia, meddling with the ouija board etc....i felt they helped me, cured me if you like.
Hang in there! But leave the JW's. Rip them out of your life like a band aid, real quick and decisive like, otherwise, it will hurt more and longer and leave you wondering if you should just leave it on.
It took me a long time to get over the whole "truth" thing, but as I opened my eyes more and more, it was exposed as the rubbish it is. Yes, there is SOME truth (like Moses wrote Genisis), but mostly rubbish. And now, even the truths I came to accept as truths have been in doubt even more since I left over 4 years ago.
You will be ok!
this is an intersting article about a new movie that is going to be made, a drama about jw's and the blood issue.. .

Any support that anyone here can offer would really help him reach those goals, whether it be passing it on to friends in other media, advice on how to get it to the right people to get it to Sundance. I really hope he makes it, as a friend of his from childhood, he shared the script with me and I was thoroughly impressed!

I guess I posted a mirror post to this one without even knowing that someone else already did. I commented twice on the article so far. Can't believe I used to be programmed like the robots on there at one time.
