I'm making a presentation tomorrow about detecting lies. I wanted some instance from movies where someone lies so I can show it to the class. Thanks.

"Liar, Liar", starring Jim Carrey. The whole 1st 1/2 hour of the movie is full of lies and some where he gets caught.

The Truth About Cats & Dogs (1996)~In this one, a deception snowballs. It's based on "Cyrano de Bergerac".
Lying (2006) (I haven't seen this~just read the summary.)
Big Fat Liar (2002)~A man takes credit for a boy's work.
Charade (1963)~A woman is thrown into intrigue because her husband lied then was murdered.
Hush... Hush, Sweet Charlotte (1964)~another web of deception, with everyone keeping secrets, with a diastrous end for a pair of conspirators
What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? (1962)~Jane's life is destroyed by the guilt she feels over crippling her sister, something she did not do. Jane's sister tried to kill HER and was injured in the accident; Jane has been told that she was too drunk to remember.
The Maltese Falcon (1941)~This is a maze of lies, especially those told by the woman the detective is falling for, who turns out to be the person who murdered his partner.
Shadow of a Doubt (1943)~A girl comes to realize that her uncle is a serial killer.
Harriet the Spy~A girl keeps a journal about classmates, which is found and read by friends, turning them against her.
Many of these films are built on a single lie or a mesh of them. Actually, aren't most suspense/thriller/mystery stories built upon deception(s)?

Big Daddy - Adam Sandler's character lies and pretends he is his friend so he can keep the little boy but the Children's Services social worker finds out about it and tries to take him away from him.
