I think there was a thread like that a while ago, but I can't find it.

Vitus - A swiss movie about a piano prodigy, who is also fascinated with flying and stock market. His parents see him as a concert pianist, but he is not sure...
Good family movie (there is only mild reference to sex, which this protagonist calls "voluntary exchange of DNA" - since my youngest is already past her maturation day at school, we all laughed at it.)

Please feel free to add to the list

Oh, Ania, help me our here can't remember the full title...
August... something. About two young musicians who fall in love in a night and the parents seperate them. The young woman becomes pregnant, is separated from son at birth and the baby goes to an orphanage. The boy is an incredible natural musician who is driven to find his parents.......

My girls and I watched it while DH was out of town and we all loved it.

Will have to watch Vitus...

I think it was called Searching for Bobby Fisher - excellent movie and a true story.

What about "Becoming Jane"? It's about Jane Austen.

And "A Beautiful Mind".
