The Other Sister is a movie I havent seen, but I heard it was critisied for being to untrue to mentally ill. Great theme song though from Savage Garden, got more famous than the movie

I haven't seen many of the films listed but if you use imdb to cross reference the titles you might find some gems.

I would recommend Rainman. It has Dustin Hoffman playing an autistic man. As someone who grew up with autistic family, I can tell you that he did a perfect job portraying autism. It is very moving.
