[@NellieKAdaba]

Thanks

[@HappyCynic]

E.T should have been on this list.

[@1kbmahan]

that should be number 1 omg

[@eec589]

this is a username Bravo.

[@aussieman3021]

This is about movies which feature the main character going from one country to another on Earth, not extra-terrestrials.

[@HappyCynic]

AussieMan America is a country, and there is a good chance that E.T lived in a country back on his home planet.

[@aussieman3021]

+eldospinks But it is not on Earth, or are you really trying to be funny.

[@Chikadulce10]

Under The Same Moon!!!!! Should have totally been included!! It's a Mexican-American film about a boy in Mexico whose mother left for Los Angeles and after his grandma died had to travel to Los Angeles to find his mom. It's one of my favorite films, really beautiful 😊

[@NellieKAdaba]

Great movie.

[@alexsan76]

You're right

[@InsaneMnky]

One of the most inspiring stories is that of Dr. Alfredo Quiñones-Hinojosa. He originally came to the United States illegally when he was 19. He worked several jobs, including one where he almost died. He saved up his money and took English lessons and eventually got to medical school. Now he is one of the top Neurosurgeons at Johns Hopkins Hospital

[@ruzzelladrian907]

Thank you WatchMojo !!! You have no idea I spent years trying to figure out what movie I watched back in 2004, and here it is on the number #1 spot: In America.

[@GreatfulGert]

I'm an American-born man who supports DT. I enjoyed the video.

[@H4WK6969]

Swedes will love this

[@AndreasNicklasson]

I'm a Swede and I downvoted.

[@StandWatie1862]

SWEDEN YES!

[@jjs8426]

Andre Caillot fuck Sweden

[@abelpf]

Local Toast yeah, sure kkkkkkkkkkk

[@abcdefg2174]

Good ol' Swedistan

[@stillupsetaboutrobbstark3455]

I remember watching In America as a young child and couldn't remember a lot of the details except for the scene where the girls go trick or treating in their apartment and they become friends with Mateo. That always struck me as very beautiful and I'm glad that y'all reminded me of this great film.

[@rickysandoval6766]

My parents came from Mexico legally and no they were not rich my dad came to America with 5 other siblings when he was young and my mom came with some relatives when she was a teenager we know a good amount of people that are illegal some are even related to us but we still think that immigrants should be vetted properly and have background checks done especially in a war torn country that is an enemy to America I greatly respect people who came here illegally worked hard and eventually became citizens. P.S. How the fuck is Scarface an inspiring immigration movie?

[@fobbitguy]

I thought the same thing about scarface. Wtf?

[@arghedon]

Next please a top10 tragic,depressing,frustrating immigration movies,like "Wounded knee"," Not without my daughter",etc.

[@Nafplio19]

Can we get a Top 10 list about building walls next?

[@ddlyify]

The Avalon Trilogy is so moving. Reminds me of my family.

[@IvanTheDraggo]

There is minor issue in the discription - it says #6 is "Scarface" but realy is "Brooklyn"

[@BRUH-xw3ku]

So WatchMojo has created a new genre now.

[@DarthLobitou]

Best part is, no matter how many haters show their asses in the comment section, whenever this kind of video highlighting the importance of diversity and forward thinking comes out, there'll always be more likes than dislikes, even if it's by a small margin. It's sad there are so many bigots, racists and overall dumbasses who found the election of an equally racist bigot as an excuse to celebrate, but that small margin of people, even in such a trivial thing as a KZbin video, still gives me hope.

[@anjamitic3066]

Moscow on the Hudson maybe should have been on this list...but this list is great! Always love your videos...

[@adagiobreeze8493]

You left out so many good, less controversial ones like Frozen River and Maria Full of Grace

[@Xangelwriter13X]

Under the Same Moon is a really good film that accurately depicts the struggles of Mexican immigrants

[@deadpoolshelby4]

#6 in the information says "Scarface" as opposed to "Brooklyn"

[@adoramae5436]

Okay, before people go off about this being related to the controversy in American and call WatchMojo leftist propaganda, please remember the Channel is Canada based.

[@pantherscast9618]

list in the description is wrong, number 6 isn't scarface. ANYWAY , WHERE IS SCARFACE ?

[@jessel4life]

Did anyone ever stop to think that this video has nothing to do with politics and this is just another extremely specific movie genre list video so that WatchMojo can continue to churn out their high volume of daily videos?

[@benchambers1305]

The Emigrants/The New Land, directed by Jan Troell not being mentioned on this list is criminal.

[@belladie4110]

"La misma luna" should have been here

[@XdDubs]

Im crying. That movie.

[@luzvinosorio400]

This was a great compilation.. All are great and memorable movies. For me "a better life" is so real and deep about What our latin communities lives in USA. Demian Bichir gives a realistic perfomance!!

[@jessel4life]

The Namesake is AMAZING. A multi generation immigration story.

[@jaimonjohn2516]

If someone made a Schwarzenegger biopic it could the greatest immigration movie ever

[@DoubleJEspejwan6]

Where the hell was Far and Away?

[@anarcho-bidenism6471]

00:03 From the northern highlands, to the western islands. From the hills of Kerry to the streets of free derry!

[@thenewjord50]

why put scarface on the timestamp but dont mentioned it wtf

[@viniciusferreira5540]

Great list! Now do the top 10 Inspiring Ilegal Immigration Movies.

[@imanolover]

the timestamp says Scarface, but the video has The Godfather Part II

[@ipodisdead9020]

I knew The Immigrant had to be on this list! One of my personal faves.

[@sharkymcshark3392]

So watchmojo makes a simple list of the top 10 movies about immigration, and the entire comment section is screaming about globalists, Trump, Syria and Jews? Is there something I'm missing here?

[@sarah9572]

Sharky McShark I was about to ask the same

[@baverfjant]

Edgelords live in comment sections, other than their mom's basement. Their life is 95% talking shit in comment sections about topics they have a surface-level understanding of.

[@jaspersmommy1347]

"In America" was a wonderful film. I can see why it was #1

[@Xcom34]

watchmojo where's scarface ? it's not even an honorable mention. You put it on the list at 6 but it's something completely different.

[@okshorty2876]

Who her clicked because of Brooklyn.

[@josueluna7532]

When people don't know the difference between illegal and legal immigrants

[@candice_ecidnac]

There's a mistake in the time stamps. You have #6 listed as Scarface when in the video it's actually Brooklyn. The other numbers are correct.

[@softpastelmochi]

A Better Life is an amazing movie!

[@whitebeads1]

Others too, though more heavy with social realism -- "Sophie's Choice," (okay, that was entirely tragic) and "Moscow on the Hudson" (we love and miss you, Robin Williams) -- and magical realism "Bagdad Café" (though I can't remember if the German character stayed when she came back)

[@Kris000kras000]

Why so much hate on this video.

[@paulines581]

Thank you. Overseas is a good place to figure your own problems out but for how long is the question?

[@JC-pf5uu]

How can FAR AND AWAY not be in this list???

[@TheHollowSpectre]

I clicked because I was curious to see how much hate this video would get. I wanted to be surprised I really did but people just had to hate, how sad :(

[@adagiobreeze8493]

I feel like 2 days, one night should make the list

[@josearturogarza5114]

An American Tail. Fievel Mousekwitz..Somewhere out there?

[@richmahogany1]

They have been getting way too political lately. I've been watching them for years and they've pretty much run out of ideas. Also I've recently subscribed to about 8 other Top10 channels. Plus I've always hated the way the dude says "genre." Yep...I think that's gonna be it. WatchMojo, a sincere thank you for all the years.

[@MegaEwalsh]

That pronunciation of Eilis for brooklyn is a crime against the Irish language

[@tylerjcronk]

Do Top 10 winners of Americas Got Talent

[@alexsan76]

You should watch " I hate love or "odio el amor" on spanish really really good. About a American girl really pretty with a guy Mexican who cant hear at all. Is a really beautiful movie

[@scottbarkley496]

THE LAST SAMURAI should be number 1

[@Melicioel7]

lol He didn't save anyone (despite his whiteness?). In fact they saved him

[@meant4hell]

Is no one gonna mention that on the time stamps in the description, it says Scarface or no. 6 and yet there's no Scarface in the whole list?

[@DELMQR1]

the timestamps are wrong

[@connorw2k]

Video says #6 is Brooklyn. Time stamp says #6 is Scarface. That isn't even an honest mistake. That's a dumb mistake.

[@ClassG7]

Brooklyn was not even in the h.m. but was the thumbnail.

[@iBlewupthemoon98]

(grabs popcorn) Don't mind me.

[@Tombriderx]

watchmojo is so far left, it's actually insane.

[@theflyingdutchman167]

Tombriderx you make a video about movies adressing the topic immigration and suddenly you are far left. Yes this is at the exact same level as Stalin. I am willing to bet that it is not WatchMojo who is far left but you who are far right

[@idorine70]

Coming to America Erick should be on this list.

[@agustinamaro2445]

Where's under the same moon that movie was sad especially at the end

[@thejenmath]

You know the narrator hasn't seen the film when she doesn't pronounce the character's name correctly.

[@atx_angel6535]

i like Hispanic imigration movies I even once i watched a Spanish movie but I didn't understand a. single word

[@lilgaming2293]

you should watch "under the same moon"

[@rango-konk]

*Do a segment on India*..*love you.*

[@Noobyguy_101]

I feel like "Under the same moon" should have been on this list

[@vb2388]

Werner Herzog's Stroszek better be here..

[@kostajovanovic3711]

You are expecting to much

[@kostajovanovic3711]

Wow, they put a Fassbinder film!?!?

[@ketzakov3291]

Nice RH pic you got there.

[@vb2388]

Kosta Jovanovic Fassbender* well they did mention Klaus Kinski in the"top 10 actors who are difficult to work with"...

[@vb2388]

u u thanks 😊

[@julianhall1866]

how come it go so many hate on here and i knew brooklyn was gonna be on here

[@bluebunny6594]

did anyone realize in the description that #6 was scarface and not Brooklyn?

[@ruebenarreola4548]

What about "The Terminal" with Tom Hanks? 😭

[@JaDangerz]

Does An American Tail count since Fievel and his family immigrated from Russia to the U.S?

[@LOOMING_WRAITH_OF_BAD_OMEN]

I just knew this video was going to trigger everyone once I saw "immigration" in the title. The internet was a mistake.

[@brettquimby3274]

These movies do little more than show the sentiment of certain segments of the nations they came from in their respective time periods. Ultimately, they don't really influence the attitude of the general public on immigration and they have no way of knowing what the future trends or sources of immigration will be.

[@loszhor]

I think you meant depressing immigration movies.

[@GreenArrowHunter]

The original Superman 1978 movie should be on the list.

[@aussieman3021]

Not about extra-terrestrials.

[@linkbiff1054]

Obviously these people have never heard of Jan Troell's The Emigrants/The New Land from the early 70s.

[@PikaTheProsperous]

I am not a fan of Trump, but stop pretending you care about immigration.

[@darryljack6612]

PikaTheProsperous maybe they do

[@jayazathoth8530]

Local Toast No, she supports immigrants who want to settle in her country, she never said she wanted to open her actual home to complete strangers. I guess the miscommunication arises because rightwingers are cretins who don't listen or think things through. I am still surprised at times by how slow you lot are.

[@stephen2624]

I wonder what young Americans today think about the Great Famine (1845-1852) that killed over a million Irish people? I don't know how my ancestors chose to stay and survived and there was good chance they wouldn't have, so I (and many others) would never exist.

[@bvigil1888]

brooklyn?? where the hell is scarface???

[@JesusARamos-df5ec]

listen all ignorant and non-ignorant people, we all have our roots in immigration, wether it be from the 1700's and so on, unless you are a native American descent. It's very wrong to be xenophobic because clearly if you have a mind that works, you know that you aren't a native American. We are all immigrant descendants wether it be from native/Latin America, Europe, Asia, Africa, etc. Our descendants came for a reason which could range from religious freedom to opportunities. SO WE HAVE TO LEARN HOW TO GET ALONG!

[@pCriistopher]

Fearless & The Chinese Connection.

[@eifelitorn]

#6 is Scarface in your description, not Brooklyn

[@aussieman3021]

They should change that.

[@brandyloutherback9288]

Do top 10 Depressing Immigration Movies, I have a feeling The Immigrant will show up.

[@evolution1447]

This video is going to piss off trump voters and It's going to be glorious!!!

[@pfannkuchesindgeil5348]

Elias .Marin Yes because everyone opposed to illegal immigration is a DT supporter.

[@liamhumel8026]

Pfannkuchesindgeil Bitch read the comments

[@pfannkuchesindgeil5348]

Liam Humel Some don't mean all

[@nosuchthing8]

Elias .Marin lol

[@evolution1447]

Sorry deagleninja, I'm not american, neither do I live in the US. He's factually speaking not my president. Nice try though, I'll give you a C- for trying.

[@Antasma1]

This should be inspirations for legal immigration and not, "we don't care if they count as criminals," immigration.

[@medela1995]

wrong list in description

[@animock3051]

Top 10 portrayals of gangsters

[@vinaymadhugiri3]

The Hundred Foot Journey should be here!!!

[@xallykat13x]

Sitting reading people comments about politics yet no ones realized #6 says scarface on the timestamps. hahha

[@cameronthomas8805]

I going to be honest, I only came for the the cancerous comments

[@jabawack81]

Me too

[@レッド-h1i]

Full of racists.

[@motleybyron4997]

you mean like this one.... LIBERALS...they LOVE to share...OTHER PEOPLE'S money..."hey homeless dude...SLEEP on the sidewalk...can't you see the Mexicans who need jobs???" "Hey black American moms...can't you see we want ILLEGAL Mexican women taking care of our kids...how DARE YOU complain...here's some more welfare and food stamps...now STFU!"

[@cathy-pz2to]

The comments section is the only part of this that makes sense.

[@Anon9729X]

As long as your LEGAL in the country.

[@ender4101]

Oh yeah, those movies are gonna inspire mexicans to immigrate to the U.S. so much

[@randomdefender1532]

94 Dislikes are either Trump supporters or Native Americans

[@aussieman3021]

Donald Trump is basically a selfish prick who is only going to use his stint as president to make sure everything goes his way without giving a shit of anyone.

[@eec589]

randomdefender Good one. LMAO

[@kingusernamelxixthemagnificent]

Don't mind me. I am just looking for that Dancer in the Dark moment.

[@candice_ecidnac]

I love (read: hate) how you overpronounce the ever loving shit out of French names like Audrey Tautou and Marion Cotillard but stumble through Spanish name Demián Bichir, and for Chiwetel Ejiofor you spit his name out like it's aluminum foil touching your metal fillings. I'm not sure if I'm glad or not that you didn't even attempt Irish name Saoirse Ronan.

[@joeysmother7535]

Anyone notice it says scarface in the timestamps lmao

[@benkata]

Utvandrarna / Nybyggarna should be on this list!

[@friidrottskarlsson3878]

Agree, and I am Swedish

[@Potrimpo]

would have preferred Men In Black and either Superman (1978) or Man Of Steel.

[@aussieman3021]

No extra-terrestrial movies count in this video.

[@Elias-ik1ur]

Scarface? #6? i don't see it!, just a film Brooklyn.

[@ashugart]

Scarface is the greatest immigration movie!

[@65894132]

For the movie Brooklyn, it's Eilis, pronounced like ALE-ISH. Watch the movie and you hear it within the first 5 minutes!!!! It's cringing hearing you butcher such a beautiful name!
