Alone in the T-Shirt Zone on IMDB

Michael is a commercial artist working with fellow artist Greg in a t shirt factory making the artwork screen printed onto shirts. Michael feels unfulfilled in his job making joke t-shirts with slogans such as "Tennis Players Do It With Fuzzy Balls" emblazoned on them and a boss who tortures him by playing loud motivational recordings into his art studio.
One of the popular designs is a t-shirt with Foxy Lady written onto it at the beginning of the film we see a masked man attack a woman wearing the foxy lady t-shirt. As the film progresses we learn the significance of this and why Michael is currently in a psychiatric ward.

Irresistible (2006)

Susan Sarandon plays artist Sophie Hartley




Irresistible on IMDB

Sophie Hartley is convinced that someone is trying to steal her children, her husband: her life. Forced to prove her sanity, Sophie fights back and makes a discovery more shocking than her worst fear.

Sophie Hartley is a successful illustrator. A deadline looms and Sophie is terrified of failure and the pressure to reveal a secret from her past.

To make matters worse, things aren't going well with her husband Craig. When Sophie becomes convinced that she's being stalked by one of Craig's co-workers - a beautiful, highly competent assistant, Mara Toufiey - no one believes her.

Sophie's life begins to fall apart. She feels she's being watched, followed, copied. Things go missing in the house - her daughters' toys, family photographs, even her favourite dress...

Sophie tries to fend off paranoia, but it is clear to her that Mara is trying to steal her husband, her daughters, her life.

In the cat and mouse game of obsession that ensues, Sophie crosses the boundaries of acceptable behaviour. Mara takes out a court order against her. Now Sophie is forced to become a stalker.
