One of the best movies I've seen in a very long time, I thought it worth sharing this write up on the The Diving Bell And The Butterfly. If you have a Netflix account, I would definitely add this to your list and make it priority watching:
In The Diving Bell And The Butterfly, director Julian Schnabel creates a cinema of daring and imagination, even if his lead character cannot move a single muscle in his entire body, with the exception of his left eye. Critic After Dark Noel Vera reviews.
Le Scaphandre et le papillon (The Diving Bell and the Butterfly) is based on a book by Jean-Dominique Bauby (Jean-Do, as friends call him) who suffered a stroke, fell into a coma for 20 days, and woke up with a rare condition, “locked-in syndrome.” He could think, smell, hear (faintly), see, but he couldn’t move a single muscle in his entire body with one exception - his left eye.

By the way, if you're more of the reading type, the movie is based on the original book of the same name: The Diving Bell and the Butterfly (Vintage International) (Vintage International)
