Life is Beautiful (1998)

Directed by
Roberto Benigni

Guido Orefice (Robert Benigni) is an Italian Jew who has a wonderful romance with Dora, aided by his brilliant, mad-cap sense of humour, they soon marry and have a son, Giosué (Giorgio Cantarini).

On his son's 5th birthday his sense of humour is tested to the limits when they are both captured and imprisoned in a Nazi concentration camp. Guido tries to shield his young son from the terrors that surrounds them, by telling him that it is all a big game in which the winner will recieve a real tank.

Roberto Benigni's comedy drama won the Oscars for Best Foreign Film and Best Actor, and truely deserved each one. An absolutely fantastic film.
