Has anyone watched this movie called 'Life is Beautiful' by Roberto Benigni? I think it's one of the best foreign films I've ever seen. What d' YOU think of it?

Any other recommendations of movies similar to this? Those sad, but good ones?

I agree with you, and not only because I'm Italian :-)
"Life is beautiful" sometimes has some pauses while the story is rolling and sometimes moments of high poetry.
At the end, what mainly remains, is a great suggestion: life is fantasy!

Yes I've watched it. My teacher showed it to us and we had to write a movie review of it. The movie was great, funny but also touching at the same time. I rarely watch foreigh films but I really love this one.

i agree, very heart-wrenching...have you seen "Like Water for Chocolate" (Mexico) ? An emotional one for myself. and on a much darker level, there's "Samaritan Girl" a Korean flick. No innocent scenes here but the sacrifice the father (a cop) must go through to insure his daughter's freedom is truly unique. Don't attempt to watch this if you can't stomach young female prostitutes

i think it was one of the best movies ever written
it carries many extremes of the human condition...
at the same time conveys the most extreme emotions as you watch it
joyous and tragic

yes, i most certainly have. it's a good movie, very moving and it says no matter what happens life is still great.
we are so in need of a little positivism these days
