Cube.

It's an awesome sci-fi movie with an autistic idiot-savant.

You definitely need to see it.

The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo - all those movies... the Swedish ones, anyway.

The main Character Lisbeth Salander... possibly has Asperger's. There is about one or two lines in the last film at her court hearing about that possibility, but nothing is definite. It's talked about in the books, extensively.

Heart She's amazing... writer Stieg Larsson stated in interviews that he based the character of Lisbeth Salander on what he imagined Pippi Longstocking might have been like as an adult.

Not a movie but how about a series?

Sheldon Cooper - The Big Bang Theory Yes
Humankind Dodgy (a total misnomer)

The character from Drive doesn't seem to have asperger's. He seems just an introverted and enigmatic guy. AND I think the storyline sucked big time. It was really without substance. I hate this kind of movies.
Some movies that come to my mind: Being There, The Bothersome Man and Cube.

RE: Movie with autistic characters
Oh, goody! I can mention my beloved ReGenesis again. One of the main characters, Bob Melnikov, has Asperger's and both the writers and the actor do a great job of portraying him. It's not at all exaggerated, oversimplified or turned into a caricature, as way too often happens Yes
