Muderball

If it's at a theatre near you, go see Murderball, the documentry about quadrapalegic wheelchair rugby, and more specifically the rivalry between Canada and the United States in the sport. Or add it to your Nteflix queue when it comes out on DVD. It's just that entertaining. My favorite point in the film is when a former motorcross enthusiast who was injured in a motorcross accident gets to take one of the quad rugby wheelcharis (themselves quite the work of engineering) for a spin and immediately wants to start bumping in to other people and things, much to the protests of the nurses at the rehabilitation center. He was so stoked about the idea of being able compete in something motorcross-like again that they could barely get him out of the chair at the end of the team's visit. Lot's of movies claim to be toughing; that sequence truly is.
