Thanks again everyone. I'd love to hear more and I'm making a list to watch. Add TV shows or characters too if you want.
It's neat to see some different movies I haven't heard of before. There are so many movies probably where social anxiety isn't neccessarily the main part of the movie, but that a character clearly struggles with something like it, whether it's shyness, social anxiety, avoidant personality, aspergers, autism, etc. And yeah there are so many TV shows too with characters that have shyness or social anxiety.

I watched What About Bob last night. It reminded me a bit of Planes, Trains, and Automobiles which I really love. It was hilarious and neat to watch a pure comedy about someone with problems because when I think about movies about SA I was mostly think about serious ones. Though most of the time we don't feel like it, it would probably be good if we could just laugh about our problems more often instead of taking them so seriously.
Thanks I've added Roger Dodger to my list of movies to watch. And I liked Benny and Joon too. Maybe I should rewatch it sometime.
I also watched We Bought A Zoo. Thanks it was a great movie. I was actually thinking that Scarlet Johanson's character had quite a few signs that she really had social anxiety. Her character didn't really come across that way but as far everything that she said about herself or that we learned about her character. Maybe if they had someone different play the role they would have seemed more socially anxious but it's hard to picture that with her and she seems super confident. I almost got the feeling that she didn't portray the role maybe quite how it could have been. But I guess it is like that with some people with social anxiety in real life too who come across as confident. Yeah I'd definitely say her character probably had social anxiety pretty bad without the subject really being a huge part of the movie.
Yeah I saw Adam and it's definitely one of my favs too. It was really great and I think it's one of the more realistic movies that seriously deals directly with social anxiety, aspergers, autism, etc. Another similar one that I don't think is well known was called Snow Cake, and it was starring Sigourney Weaver.
Thanks again for letting me know some great movies.
