stammering in films


I just wanted to know if any of you know of any other films that feature stammering/stuttering? Michael rapaport had a stammer in this and the only other film i can remember a stammer in is pearl harbour. I ask this because i have one and i find it so interesting to watch others with stammers, although it is so rare to see.

cheers if anyone can help.

That's a unique thought. Of Mice and Men when Lenny speaks to George. John Malkovich and Gary Sinise.

Nah Bubba had big gums, he didn't stammer...

Not a film but check out Ronnie Barker's 'Arkwright' in British UK sitcom Open All Hours.

Comedic stammering at it's very finest.

for some reason they always put in a man that stutters in all black case movies. 4 big ones that come to mind are:

Glory
Harlem Nights
New Jack City
Do the right thing

if you know about a good NFL running back that stutters and is becoming a role model is Darren Sproles. he plays here in san diego. he had a heck of a year last year

I know this is three years late, but as someone who like the OP, has dealt with having a stammer, it resonated with me...Another display of it in a movie is John Glenn's wife in "All the Right Stuff"...It is well documented that the real Annie Glenn was in fact a stutter and she devoted significant personal time to helping others with the same speech impediment.

Totally unrelated, but John's support of his wife always makes me smile.
