4. Life is Beautiful (1997)

Directed by Roberto Benigni, Life is Beautiful is another emotional roller-coaster of a film. The Italian classic takes inspiration from Rubino Romeo Salmoni’s book and Benigni’s father’s life. During World War II, an Italian Jewish bookshop owner’s (Guido) life changes when he is taken to a concentration camp with his young son. Heartbreakingly, Guido begins to amuse his son by making him believe the capture is a game. Sure to bring tears to one’s eyes.
