This is one of my favorite kinds of movie. I've never heard a good name for the genre. Psychological thriller? Too broad.
You should add The Thirteenth Floor. A good movie, better than its low budget, that fits squarely in the category.
Glad to see someone suggested The Game. I loved that one. It's a long way down from The Game and Seven to Benjamin Button and The Social Network.

and they missed Inception?
Duh. I'm adding it right now.
I'm also in the middle of watching Dollhouse, which is an incredible TV series by Joss Whedon dealing with mind control. I think it does a better job than Gattaca of dealing with ethical quandaries of bio-tech, and most likely the more difficult battle we'll fight as our brains become more akin to software. The arguments in Gattaca seem like a straw man that very few people would actually advocate.
