Altered States (1980). Apparently, somebody gave Paddy Chayefsky an odd idea: write a darkly comic version of the third act of 2001: A Space Odyssey . William Hurt plays a college professor who as a student was interested in sensory deprivation tanks and what the experience is like. Years later as ...

Re: The Greatest Suicides on Film
As for suicide on film, I don't know that the scene itself is visually great or well-acted, but there's a suicide in The Big Heat that really drives the plot.
