TV Shows and Movies involving Sign Language

GraysonPeddie · 05-27-2006, 09:25 PM

Hi. I've enjoyed watching Mr. Holland's Opus in Encore, and I'm wondering if there's any TV shows and movies involving sign language?

My favorite part about the movie is the music where Mr. Holland sings a dedicated song to Cole and I really like the way how Mr. Holland signs "beautiful" with his left hand, right, left, right, and then signed "boy" but at the end of the sign, he signed "Cole" instead of the sign for "boy."

It'd be cool watching movies and TV shows involving sign language...

Have you seen "Children of a Lesser God"? This movie has some deaf actors and actresses in it. Lots of sign languages in the movie.

By the way, welcome to alldeaf.com

I've never seen that one. I went into Circuit City website, found the video I'm looking for, and it's available in DVD, so I will buy it.

Because I have my 32" Magnavox HDTV, this gives me the advantage that I can watch the movie in widescreen.

I'll be getting Mr. Holland's Opus for birthday (November 23rd). I'd be glad to watch it in widescreen.

And thank you for welcoming me to the forum!
