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 😊
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.
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
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?
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.
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?
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.
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!!
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 RUclips video, still gives me hope.
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.
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?
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.
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.
I love how people are saying it's propaganda. I mean, none of these films make immigration seem like this amazing and easy idea. Its not propaganda if its reflecting the complexity of an issue. I get that its a divisive subject but the fact you need to overreact about a films contents just reflects your own irrationalities. .
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)
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.
Cmon. You put the Godfather on here but not Scarface? Scarface is inspiring to even American citizens. I would totally take snorting cocaine and being a millionaire.
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.
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.
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!"
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
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 :(
u know guys there are immigrants who had good lives back at home and came here for a better education . gosh get over it not all immigrants are death poor quit the stereotype
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!
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
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.
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!
Watch some of these movies for yourself!
Dirty Pretty Things amzn.to/2n1izqF

E.T should have been on this list.
that should be number 1 omg
this is a username Bravo.
This is about movies which feature the main character going from one country to another on Earth, not extra-terrestrials.
AussieMan America is a country, and there is a good chance that E.T lived in a country back on his home planet.
+eldospinks But it is not on Earth, or are you really trying to be funny.
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 😊
Great movie.
You're right

Swedes will love this
I'm a Swede and I downvoted.
SWEDEN YES!
Andre Caillot fuck Sweden
Local Toast yeah, sure kkkkkkkkkkk
Good ol' Swedistan
I'm an American-born man who supports DT.
I enjoyed the video.
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?
I thought the same thing about scarface. Wtf?
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.
Moscow on the Hudson maybe should have been on this list...but this list is great! Always love your videos...
There is minor issue in the discription - it says #6 is "Scarface" but realy is "Brooklyn"
Can we get a Top 10 list about building walls next?
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?
Sharky McShark I was about to ask the same
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.
The Avalon Trilogy is so moving. Reminds me of my family.
Next please a top10 tragic,depressing,frustrating immigration movies,like "Wounded knee"," Not without my daughter",etc.
The Emigrants/The New Land, directed by Jan Troell not being mentioned on this list is criminal.
So WatchMojo has created a new genre now.
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!!
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.

#6 in the information says "Scarface" as opposed to "Brooklyn"
I am not a fan of Trump, but stop pretending you care about immigration.
PikaTheProsperous maybe they do
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.
You left out so many good, less controversial ones like Frozen River and Maria Full of Grace
Great list!
Now do the top 10 Inspiring Ilegal Immigration Movies.
"La misma luna" should have been here
Im crying. That movie.
When people don't know the difference between illegal and legal immigrants
I knew The Immigrant had to be on this list! One of my personal faves.
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?
Under the Same Moon is a really good film that accurately depicts the struggles of Mexican immigrants
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.
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.
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.

The Namesake is AMAZING. A multi generation immigration story.
If someone made a Schwarzenegger biopic it could the greatest immigration movie ever
list in the description is wrong, number 6 isn't scarface. ANYWAY , WHERE IS SCARFACE ?
00:03 From the northern highlands, to the western islands. From the hills of Kerry to the streets of free derry!
I feel like 2 days, one night should make the list
the timestamp says Scarface, but the video has The Godfather Part II
*Do a segment on India*..*love you.*
I love how people are saying it's propaganda. I mean, none of these films make immigration seem like this amazing and easy idea. Its not propaganda if its reflecting the complexity of an issue. I get that its a divisive subject but the fact you need to overreact about a films contents just reflects your own irrationalities. .
Brooklyn was not even in the h.m. but was the thumbnail.
Where the hell was Far and Away?
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)
That pronunciation of Eilis for brooklyn is a crime against the Irish language
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.
An American Tail. Fievel Mousekwitz..Somewhere out there?
Cmon. You put the Godfather on here but not Scarface? Scarface is inspiring to even American citizens. I would totally take snorting cocaine and being a millionaire.
i like Hispanic imigration movies I even once i watched a Spanish movie but I didn't understand a. single word
Where's under the same moon that movie was sad especially at the end
I think you meant depressing immigration movies.
Werner Herzog's Stroszek better be here..
You are expecting to much
Wow, they put a Fassbinder film!?!?
Nice RH pic you got there.
Kosta Jovanovic Fassbender*
well they did mention Klaus Kinski in the"top 10 actors who are difficult to work with"...
u u thanks 😊
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.
"In America" was a wonderful film. I can see why it was #1
I just knew this video was going to trigger everyone once I saw "immigration" in the title.
The internet was a mistake.
94 Dislikes are either Trump supporters or Native Americans
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.
randomdefender Good one. LMAO
(looks at title)(focuses on one word..) immigration, TRIGGERED!!!
😂
I going to be honest, I only came for the the cancerous comments
Me too
Full of racists.
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!"
The comments section is the only part of this that makes sense.
This should be inspirations for legal immigration and not, "we don't care if they count as criminals," immigration.
Sitting reading people comments about politics yet no ones realized #6 says scarface on the timestamps. hahha
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.
How can FAR AND AWAY not be in this list???
Thank you. Overseas is a good place to figure your own problems out but for how long is the question?
why put scarface on the timestamp but dont mentioned it wtf
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
Who her clicked because of Brooklyn.
#6 is Scarface in your description, not Brooklyn
They should change that.
(grabs popcorn)
Don't mind me.
A Better Life is an amazing movie!
Top 10 portrayals of gangsters
Video says #6 is Brooklyn. Time stamp says #6 is Scarface. That isn't even an honest mistake. That's a dumb mistake.
What about "The Terminal" with Tom Hanks? 😭
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 :(
Do Top 10 winners of Americas Got Talent
Description said #6 was Scarface - someone's a joker at WM ;)
You know the narrator hasn't seen the film when she doesn't pronounce the character's name correctly.
I feel like "Under the same moon" should have been on this list
u know guys there are immigrants who had good lives back at home and came here for a better education . gosh get over it not all immigrants are death poor quit the stereotype
Fearless & The Chinese Connection.
did anyone realize in the description that #6 was scarface and not Brooklyn?
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!
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?
Coming to America Erick should be on this list.
watchmojo is so far left, it's actually insane.
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
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.
Anyone notice it says scarface in the timestamps lmao
the timestamps are wrong
Wait so Scarface is "inspiring" but Gangs of New York can't crack the top 10? I love both movies but only one of those two is inspiring haha
Oh yeah, those movies are gonna inspire mexicans to immigrate to the U.S. so much
i can already tell that this comment section's going to be cancer
you should watch "under the same moon"
THE LAST SAMURAI should be number 1
lol He didn't save anyone (despite his whiteness?). In fact they saved him
brooklyn?? where the hell is scarface???
Do top 10 Depressing Immigration Movies, I have a feeling The Immigrant will show up.
Don't mind me.
I am just looking for that Dancer in the Dark moment.
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!
The original Superman 1978 movie should be on the list.
Not about extra-terrestrials.
Obviously these people have never heard of Jan Troell's The Emigrants/The New Land from the early 70s.
Utvandrarna / Nybyggarna should be on this list!
Agree, and I am Swedish
wrong list in description
