Anything Like This?


A Better Life was an excellent movie and I really recommend it to everyone!
Does anyone else know any other movies that are closely to this one? Something that's about people from poor countries trying to make a better life for themselves?

Better Life reminded me a lot of the Italian classic Bicycle Thieves. a truly great film about poor people trying to survive.

Biutiful had a subplot about people from third world countries trying to make it in Spain.

Dirty Pretty Things

Paraiso Travel

This was very similar to The Bicycle Thief, an old B/W Italian film. I suspect the story was ripped off to some extent, it's VERY similar until they get the truck back.
