I know Children of a Lesser God, and Mr. Holland's Opus, and one or two others. But anybody else got some names of movies with deaf people or about deaf culture?

You try IMdb.com?

Do a keyword search for "deaf".

There are so many movies that has deaf people in it and far few from it, There's few that are revolved around deaf culture.

VamPyroX has gave you an excellent suggestion - Search it up on imdb.com and you will get lists of movies that contains deaf people or regarding to deaf culture.

There's one that comes to my mind - "Love is never silent". I'd recommend this one.

Love Is Never Silent (1985) (TV) - Plot summary

Keep in mind, the results of the keyword search varies on what is typed in. Some movies have better use of keywords than other movie. For instance, one movie might have a 30 second scene of a deaf guy running in, signs out a bad word, then runs off. Yet, they add "deaf" as one of the keywords in the movie. Was it really a deaf-related movie? Not really.

Whatever results you get, read the synopsis to get a better idea of whether the movie is really deaf-related or not.
