I am looking for films that thematize the experience of exile and
immigration in the United States.  The films might range from Chaplin's The
Immigrant and Hester Street to such films as El Norte, Stranger than
Paradise, Masala, and Dead Again.  I have collected quite a number of
titles but feel there must be more!  Any suggestions (particularly of
lesser known gems) are welcome.  Many thanks in advance.
