I know a few:
Forest Gump (sort of, with his legs)
Wait Until Dark (blind)
I'm not really interested in movies with people who have mental disabilities right now. And if the person with a physical disability dies at the end of the movie, I'd like a heads up.

A really good one is "The Miracle Worker", a movie based on Helen Keller, a woman who was both blind and deaf. This movie was remade, though I hear that both are really, really good.
