Movies Set in the Suburbs

American suburbia as we know it was originally a product of the economic boom after World-War II. It was a way for many to find some intermediate between the hectic city life and a more controlled existence in the outskirts of said city. The word 'controlled' is a key word to understanding the psychological damage on individuals provoked by suburbia.
A reoccurring event in many of these films is a disregard with one's meticulously constructed existence thus resulting in some kind of explosive rebellion, hospitalization, suicide, divorce, meltdown or murder. Secrets bubble to the surface and eventually pop. Several characters suffer mentally because of their respective environments. Or maybe they're just about wacky scenarios.
