This is not a "GT" movie, but I've been intrigued since Grinity first mentioned it....I just ordered Twelve Angry Men for fun, and hope to watch it before my next IEP meeting. If things go terrible, I can have my own little inside laughter to counter balance the crying. I'm optimistic at this point though. Optimistic but cautious....learned my lesson last year.

With Grinity's comment and the need for PM, I'm anxious to watch Vitus. I'm a little behind in my movie viewing list--lots of good ones out these days.

My DD9 and I watched Vitus he other night. We both adored it and DD is still talking about how great it was to see a film about kids "like us." Thanks for the recommendation!

How about "21"
I saw it on the long haul flight this summer and again with family last night.

Billy Elliot, about a working class kid who wants to take ballet.
Blast from the Past, not about gtness, but the dad and kid are clearly eg/pg, and consequently the family is a little outcast from their neighbors...also just a funny one to watch.
And of course, Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer!

Definitely "21"--my older sons loved the book and the movie.

We all really liked Charlie Bartlett, who is a gifted kid in my mind (reminds me of Harold & Maude, one of my old favorites).
