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

I don't know if anyone mentioned "Benny and Joon" on here, but that is another good love story...and Johnny Depp is in it.

Did anyone mention the movie Beloved, its with Oprah and thandie Newton. There are some...intense scenes to say the lease but its a really good movie

There was also that made for tv movie Riding The Bus With My Sister with Rosie O'Donnell in it. There was a really good one with Alfre Woodard and Loretta Devine called Funny Valentines.

Both great movies, imo.
