Awakenings (1990)

Cast: Robert De Niro (Leonard Lowe), Robin Williams (Dr. Malcolm Sayer), Julie Kavner (Eleanor Costello), Ruth Nelson (Mrs. Lowe), John Heard (Dr. Kaufman)
For complete cast, see IMDb's Awakenings page.

This wonderful movie, based on a true story about a doctor who makes a lot of progress fighting an illness that everyone else had given up on fighting, will move you. I can't imagine anyone not feeling for the patients in Awakenings. The fact that it is all based on a true story makes it that much more inspiring. I'm so glad that they managed to get this film made, since it's not the standard drama. This story is wonderful and the cast and director do a wonderful job getting the message across. I highly recommend Awakenings.
