The obvious and logical start for such a course would be Chaplin's the
Immigrant. See http://www-scf.usc.edu/~frankfur/theimmigrant.htm. I'd also
think Coppola's The Godfather might also be useful.

Subject: Immigrants in film
A friend is putting together a course on the American immigrant experience.
He would like to include five or six films released by Hollywood that
explore the subject. Any suggestions?
