The 9 Best Tearjerkers

LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL

Don't let the subtitles deter you from this Italian film—the language of love is universal. Guido, played by Roberto Benigni, wins the heart of his soul mate, played by Roberto's real-life wife, Nicoletta Braschi. But when the film jumps ahead five years, the family is torn apart by a Nazi concentration camp. To protect his young son, Guido makes up a game with a bittersweet ending that will have you buried in tissues.
