In response to Lang Thompson's interesting question, I think of "Stage Fright," where a flashback illustrating a character's version of certain events turns out to be a lie, and possibly "Beyond a Reasonable Doubt" (I don't remember if in this movie you actually see anything untrue, but there are a number of destabilizing plot twists). Also, perhaps, "Diabolique," "Vertigo," and a fascinating movie called "Mark of the Vampire" where supernatural doings are revealed to have been an elaborate theatrical hoax. In these last three films, we don't see anything that is literally false, but are strongly encouraged to interpret events in a misleading way. By the way, speaking of literary prototypes, my favorite unreliable narrator is Charles Kinbote in Nabokov's "Pale Fire."
