My Left Foot (1989)

Imagine being a prisoner of your own body, unable to make any movements except to move your left foot．The main character in My Left Foot, based on the real story of cerebral palsy (大腦性麻痹) sufferer Christy Brown, can barely move his mouth to speak, but by controlling his left foot, he’s able to express himself as an artist and poet．For his moving performance of Brown, Daniel Lewis won his first Academy Award for best actor．

Shine (1996)

Do you have a talent you’re afraid to share with the world? David Helfgott seemed meant from childhood to be “one of the truly great pianists,” but the pressures of performing (and pleasing his father) resulted in a complete breakdown．Ten years in a mental institution didn’t weaken Helfgott’s musical gift: When he was rediscovered, he was playing concertos in a bar．Shine received s even Oscar nominations (提名), and Geoffrey Rush won best actor for his performance of Helfgott．Life Is Beautiful (1997)

Nothing’s more powerful than the love between a parent and a child．In this heartbreaking Italian film, a father (Roberto Benigni) makes an unbelievable sacrifice for his 4-year-old son: trapped in a Nazi concentration camp in 1945, the Jewish man convinces his boy that they are playing a complicated game．He manages to spare him the horror of the terrible war, and even in his final moments of life, keeps his son smiling and hopeful．Benigni won the best actor Oscar．

Stand and Deliver (1988)
