Other movies about the developmentally disabled?
Besides "I am Sam" I can't think of any other movies about developmentally disabled people (maybe "Crossroads")

also there is what's eating gilbert grape that also stars Juliette Lewis
'You had me at Hello'
Pumpkin, with Christina Ricci
shareLike Normal People (TV) is similar to this movie (personally I think it's better). Unfortunately, it's not available on video.
shareThere is also Niagra, Niagra with Robin Tunney who suffers from Tourrets (sp?) and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0119780/
shareanother one is "Whats eating Gilbert Grape" which has Lenanrdo Dicaprio and Juliette Lewis in it, and also Johnny Depp.
Michelle L. K.
"Patch Adams" with Robin Williams... I'm not sure if that's considered one but I think it is, good movie aswell!

I think there is a movie called Charlie, based on the short story of the same name. It was also made into a book called Flowers for Algernon, many may have read it in Jr. High english.

Benny And Joon. with Johnny Depp in it.
shareForrest Gump comes to mind. How did that one slip by everybody?
shareProfoundly Normal (TV) Stars Kristie Ally
Follow the stars home (TV) Stars Kimberly Williams-Paisley (Great movie)
Audrey's Rain (TV), Jean Smart, Although the movie isn't about the disabled sister, she does have alot to do with her sister life, or lack there of.
About Sarah (TV), this has Kelly Martin and Mary Steegbarn (I think that is her last name) Also a good movie.
This is all I can remember right now, If I remember anymore I will be sure to post them.
Wait Until Dark which has Audrey Hepburn play a blind person
shareI've never seen the film but Judy Garland made a film called A Child Is Waiting which had people who were Retarded and Down Syndrome.
shareI remember this movie of lifetime I don't remember the name. The people live in the sticks and had a down syndome daughter name Brenda Kay...It's a good movie. I'm now mad at myself because I remember the name of the movie.
As there is Blind Witness, the woman is blind, and she witnesses her husband murder and wants to catch the guy who did it.
