Which is what I like. I want to see it.
'Forbidden Games' has to most tear jerking ending I've ever seen. I break down on that one.
'Bicycle Thief' I haven't seen in a while but I remember loving it.
Both are top ten world classics. I just love movies like them.
Along the same lines, if you haven't seen, 'Pather Pachali' is a top five world classic. Best movie I've ever seen.
And the movie 'Yeelan', a 1987 Mali film, is a very special film. It pulls you into its reality in kind of a hypnotic transforming way. It is the only film I know with certain transformational powers.
Other movies that pound on my head are: the film about the trucks and nitro g., 'Jules and Jim', which I saw only once, 'Miracle in Milan', and Fellini's 'Variety Lights'.

  'Yeelan' is not easy to find. Last time I checked, the rights are owned by a French company. It was available for sale from a company in California but it was about 95 bucks.
  I looked for two years and found a copy in a nearby library and I got it.
  'Pather Pachali sound similar to what you recommended. It's simple tale is so full of metaphysical significance regarding the idea of karma. From the great director S. Ray.
  I remembered after I posted that I was so affected by the ending of 'Forbidden Games' that I had given my now 9 year old son, the name "Michel" as a middle name, after the way the little girl called the boy in the film.
