"The Doctor" with William Hurt and Christine Lahti

Christine Lahti is the same actress that played Dr. Woodruff in "Gross Anatomy." In this movie, she plays a doctor's (William Hurt's) wife.

Very good movie which touches on many issues; most notably, a physician' who experiences medicine from a patient's perspective....Good movie.

Lorenzo's Oil, a touching film.

Here's an exerpt from a review:
Based on the real-life case of the Odones family, the story concerns 5-year-old Lorenzo, suffering mightily from an apparently incurable and degenerative brain illness called A.L.D. His parents, an economist (Nick Nolte) and a linguist (Susan Sarandon), refuse to accept the received wisdom that there is no hope, and set about learning biochemistry to pursue a cure on their own.

Gross Anatomy was awesome! PATCH ADAMS IS THE SHIZZZZZZZZZZNIT! It is my favorite movie of all time! He is my hero. My friend actually met him in DC and he is supposedly really cool!
