_(Sorry, I don’t typically ask questions like this, but oh well)_  
My father is visiting, and one “family thing” we usually do is watch movies together.

Although we watch a variety of movies, his favorite “category” is _quality_ movies based on true stories. Also, since he is in the medical field [whisper]paramedic and male nurse[/whisper] he has a greater appreciation for movies which touch on that field.

Some great examples of movies he likes are:

- Patch Adams
- Awakenings
- Something the lord made
- Ceder House Rules
- The King’s Speech

Does anyone know any movies **with a similar mood** that he might like?
