| 1 | * Guido crashing Dora's wedding on the back of a horse that has been painted green and daubed with anti-Semitic graffiti before sweeping Dora onto the horse, trotting off and knocking an ostrich egg onto the head of the jilted groom. |
| 2 | ** Guido's sheer gall in courting Dora. Orchestrating the events of their date to look serendipitous, picking her up in her fiance's car and driving off with her long before she realises, stealing a government inspector's sash to get into her workplace ''just to ask her to the opera''. |
| 3 | * Dora boarding the train bound for the concentration camp because Guido and Giosué are on it, despite the officer telling her to go home. This woman didn't just willingly walk into hell to be with her family, she ''demanded'' to be let in. |
| 4 | * Guido improvising his 'translation' of the German guard's instructions. |
| 5 | * The [[TankGoodness tank]]. |
| 6 | * In making this film, Roberto Benigni pulled off an artistic challenge that Creator/CharlieChaplin would not have dared and Creator/JerryLewis [[Film/TheDayTheClownCried chickened out of doing]]. Namely, he created a sensitive comedy about UsefulNotes/TheHolocaust and for his efforts, he won three Academy Awards for it. |
| 7 | ** His acceptance speech for Best Actor at the 1998 Academy Awards: |
