I've noticed these kinds of movies get real deep into a character. But they also display the external disparity between what's said verbally to other characters, and what truths the protagonist tells the audience through narration.
"Leon Morin, Priest" is a good example.

"Leon Morin, Priest" is a good example. is an excellent film that has narration. To be clear, the reason why most narration doesn't work in movies is that narration is a literary device. Its intended for novels. Movies are a visual art. Movies are intended to show, not tell. So its rare the narration that works in film. But every once in a while one creeps in that works. Forest Gump is another one that works okay.

Is To Kill a Mockingbird narrated throughout? It's been a long time...

Murder, My Sweet (1944)
"She was a charming middle-aged lady with a face like a bucket of mud. I gave her a drink. She was a gal who'd take a drink, if she had to knock you down to get the bottle."

The FBI story and Spirit of St. Louis both with James Stewart are well done.

I want to say that Bogart’s character in the Barefoot Contessa narrates throughout that film.
