Coma recovery movies

Besides Regarding Henry, can anyone think of any other good coma recovering movies, where a character recovers, and has to do some serious reajusting? Real dramatic type stuff.

"Hard to Kill"

A touching story about a cop, Mason Storm, who is gunned down at home. A helpful and compassionate nurse, played by Kelly Lebrock, nurses Mason back to health. His son meanwhile is growing up thinking his father is dead. Mason begins the long road to recovery, redemption, and reunion with his son.

Lol. That's been my favorite Seagal movie, the past few years. When I was younger, it was Out for Justice.

I was going to mention this movie.

It's a close 2nd to "Under Siege".

I only saw it once a long time ago, but didn't Awakenings deal with comas, in a way?

I do think Steven Siegal's coma recovery in Hard To Kill is the most impressive of any of the ones named so far.

I thought Mel Gibson was frozen in "Forever Young".

No matter what, it still doesn't help with that ending.
