This seems to be one of those threads where you're confronted with something you wrote a year ago and left with the question as to why, exactly, you wrote it.
Anyway, I can sort of agree that
La Vita e' Bella still wins on my list as far as overall content - it's an absolutely beautiful film with nothing detracting from it. And, to respond to Shad's original question, it is the film about the holocaust but it's really more about the life of an Italian family.
Today I have quite a few more favorites. A few examples would be
Amélie, Cinema Paradiso,
Persuasion,
The Darjeeling Limited,
The Emperor's Club and
Fight Club (which I have to qualify by saying that I love the message of the film but not the film itself, exactly).
And apologies for all the foreign titles. I'm not trying to be pretentious, I promise.
