If you don't mind PostScript output, you can try the command "\psovalbox" 
in the "pstricks" package as in

	\begin{center}
	  \psovalbox{%
   	    \parbox{0.5\textwidth}{%
  	      \begin{itemize}
   	      \item The first item
   	      \item The second item
   	      \item The third and last item
   	      \end{itemize}}}
	\end{center}

Also, if by an ovalbox you don't mean an actual ellipse, but only a frame 
with rounded corners, you can try the command "\ovalbox" in the "fancybox" 
package as in

	\begin{center}
  	  \cornersize{5}
  	  \ovalbox{%
    	    \parbox{0.5\textwidth}{%
      	      \begin{itemize}
      	      \item The first item
     	      \item The second item
     	      \item The third and last item
             \end{itemize}}}
        \end{center}
