Today's movies mark the opening of Ellis Island and the birthdays of Butch Hartman and Isaac Asimov.

Which of today's movies would you watch?







In America (2002) is about a family from
Ireland that recently immigrated to America and
struggles to find their way in New York City.
Ellis Island, the famed New York City immigration
center, opened January 1, 1892, and so January
is a good month to watch movies about immigration.
