Old school horror - The Exorcist scared the willies out of me, as did the first Omen movie (they've now remade it apparently.) The Hitcher was another movie that made me cringe, though it's pretty violent.
That's horror though, not thriller... maybe Frantic? I didn't like it but they advertise it as a "thriller". Single White Female, Se7en, Twelve Monkeys,... all movies I didn't really like that could count as psychological thrillers.
Your list above though seems to list movies I would consider "fucked up movies" rather than thrillers. I don't like movies about insane people, it makes writers and directors lazy because anything can (and usually does) happen. I'm always trying to "work out" the movie and get very frustrated when I can't and two hours in it turns out the primary character is a loony and certain things haven't actually happened - Fight Club is a perfect example. That's just me though; I'm not much of a movie person :)
