Other good ones for Spinal Chord Injuries (not quads, but paras, though they 
deal with familiar issues of denial/acceptance):
 - Passion Fish
 - The Waterdance
 - Coming Home (Vietnam vet)
 - Born on the Fourth of July (also Vietnam vet) 

The Spanish movie 'The Sea Within' is Quad-specific and deals with 
right-to-die, based on a true story.  Poignant, but I thought kind of a downer.

I like "The Bone Collector" with Denzel Washington and Queen Latifa as his PCA, 
despite its ridiculously innaccurate portrayal of life as a quad (he's very 
dextrous with a mouse, but never leaves his bed).

Don't like to reveal surprise endings, but "Million Dollar Baby" bugged me.

I recommend 
"The Diving Bell and the Butterfly"

In 1995, author and Elle magazine editor Jean-Dominique Bauby suffered a stroke 
that put him in a coma; he awakened mute and completely paralyzed
