The 30 day Movie Challenge - Day 5

Day 5 - Your favorite drama movie.

Man, that one is hard. There's so many great dramas out there. I'll go with Life is Beautiful (La Vita e bella), by Roberto Benigni. If you haven't seen it, you absolutely have too. It's a film taking place during WWII and it's a story of a family being deported and the father does his best to hide the truth of the camps from his son. It's hilarious and heartbreaking. Seriously, It's brilliant. There was a time it was on French TV about once a year, I knew it by heart, and yet, I was still crying my eyes off.
Now, I want to watch it again.

Not seen it, but it sounds good, if possibly a little harrowing too.

It's absolutely awesome. You do need a solid box of tissues, but really, this is an amazing story and a great father-son relationship.
