These movies feature characters who have autistic spectrum traits….not necessarily Aspergers.

A movie with a subtle focus on Aspergers is “Punch-Drunk Love”. Terrific movie. Adam Sandler actually gives a great, emotional performance. Great direction from Paul Thomas Anderson.
Notice the references to Sandler’s sense of perception with things like lights being blown out, use of colors (even in the opening credits), and an inexplicable tune (among other sounds) constantly playing.

Other than Adam and Mozart and the Whale which are indeed very accurate on portraying characters with Asperger’s Syndrome that you have already seen, I recommend you to watch My Name is Khan, Mary and Max and Ben X.
I believe you can watch My Name is Khan online for free by this link, it’s not the best quality picture but it’s in fact free anyway, just ignore and close those annoying pop up advertisements.

@Rosie-doll Too and @Tony Summers, I have to remind you that these films do not feature any characters with Asperger’s, the main leading actors in these movies portray low functioning individuals with an intellectual disability. Although Rain Man is on the autistic spectrum and is considered a savant, he is also low functioning and intellectually challenged.
Next time have some common sense and less ignorance of the question that has been asked before you naively post anything that I and other loyal Y!A members with Asperger’s consider insulting and fallacious.
