I've noticed A LOT of my favorite movies, from when I was growing up and in college, are really Aspie-ish.

I'll pitch in two:

Gattaca
The Point

If you haven't seen either of these, you really should. They are very moving, in portraying characters who are different but not less.

Anyone else have some to add?

Edward Scissorhands. There have even been essays written about the parallels between Edward's life and the life of people on the spectrum, and there was also a thread here in General Autism Discussion about that very topic not too long ago.

Gattaca is a great film, but I fear it may soon turn into reality.

Adam and Mozart and the Whale are obviously Aspie films. Literally.
