As Good As It Gets is actually about a guy with OCD and Asperger's despite what many might notice at first. My mom pulled me in to watch it last night and i couldn't finish that very night considering it's very dramatic and hard to swallow plot wise, but Jack Nicholson does an awesome job as his uber-pessimistic character, and so far i highly recommend the movie. Anyone else spot a really unexpected good aspie or something-like-an-aspie flick? (and these don't count of course: rain man and temple grandin. not becuase they're not good but because i want something different obviously)

No, he just has OCD. They never actually say he has AS and in the year the movie was made, 1997, very few people even knew what AS was.
