Fav Immigrant Flix

As ya’ll know, Jaynet is a hot lady with a heart (and vocal chords) of gold.  And she’s something else too:

An immigrant!

In honor of her fellow new-Americans, she’s put together a list of her fav. movies about immigrants:

west-side-story_l-1

West Side Story (1961) - Not only is there singing and dancing, there’s also a beautiful love story about some white guy and a puerto rican chick!  Goes to show that America doesn’t always treat its immigrants as kindly as it does a scantily clad yellow diva!

02

In America (2003) - A tearjerker about an Irish family who moves to the slums of NYC, only to befriend a reclusive African artist.  It makes us remember that us immigrants need to stick 2gether!  We need each other to lean on, esp. if we’re poor or have AIDS.

Coming to America (1988) - Jaynet always loves a good black flick, and this one starred Eddie Murphy when he was still *fine*.  See?  Not all immigrants are po’!

american_tail_an_1986_685x385

An American Tail (1986) - The cutest little immigrant mouse and his cute little family and lots of mean cats!  At least he meets one nice cat…

rushhour3

Rush Hour (1998) - The only Chinese person people seem to adore as much as they adore Jaynet is Jackie Chan.  We only wish he’d have sung some karaoke!  Jaynet’s heard him sing, and it’s PRICELESS.
