Hope and Glory (WWII blitz told from a child's perspective)
Schindler's List (also WWII, though a less optimist aspect of it)
A Passage to India
Goodbye Mr Chips (either the original 1939 film with Robert Donat or the recent TV adaptation with Martin Clunes - definitely NOT the musical remake with Peter O'Toole which was pretty awful) - all adaptations of Hilton's novel.
