Texts/Films which contain the theme of deception or self-deception?

I have to give a powerpoint presentation on deception as a literary theme and need to have a good range of texts to illustrate my points. Any suggestions would be much appreciated! Thanks!

For deception, you can’t get much better than Shakespeare’s play Julius Caesar. In more modern times, J.D. Salinger’s book “Catcher in the Rye” is famous for that theme. For films, “The Sting” is the master work with the theme of deception. Also check out The Spanish Prisoner, a David Mamet film, which is a more recent example and is another outstanding film. These items should be easy to Google, or check Wikipedia. The harder part is to know the book/film.
