For a good introduction, Opening Skinners Box works. Otherwise, any other books that introduce you to major studies work really well so you can find the parts of psychology that really interest you, and then see if you can get uni reading lists for the modules that interest you the most (I love neuropsychology and dislike developmental psychology for example).

UC Berkely have loads of online audio and video lectures!

Attached a comprehensive list for future reference, although i notice the thread is quite old. I added some books suggested here to the list (the myths one looks good!)
If you want films though, there have been two recent films on famous psychology studies (although they aren't very good for understanding the science):
