OP Cinenym, a word derived from a movie usage, e.g., gaslighted. "to manipulate (a person) by psychological means into
questioning his or her own sanity", from the 1944 movie Gaslight in which Charles Boyer's Gregory Anton attempts to convince Ingrid Bergman's Paula Alquist that she is going insane by altering the intensity of the gaslights in their apartment.
Any other cinenyms?
