Everyone should watch and enjoy Life is Beautiful.

And then everyone should have a nice rest period to let their feelings recover before considering rewatching. Minimum a decade, no maximum.

Also, watch it with subtitles! The original audio really helps make the movie.

Agreed! I'll usually choose an audio dub over the original audio, but for "Life is Beautiful", the original Italian is so incredibly expressive, it's worth the subtitles to me.

The lead actor does speak English, and if I recall correctly, he did record the English audio dub. But I feel like it still loses some of the impact of original Italian performance.
