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?


One you surely have by now:

    America, America... Elia Kazan's story

And:
Sections of Godfather I and 2

The Jazz Singer  ("the old country' lingers as young Jackie tries to
assimilate)

I may be a bit off on the title, but ...    Bread and Roses

North   (or, Norte)

American Sweetheart     (the story of a daughter forced to leave her
    European caretakers to rejoin her parents, newly immigrated in America)

A Tree Grows in Brooklyn   (does this Irish immigrant family's experience
    'count' as "The Immigrant Experience"?)
