I'm writing a paper comparing a piece of literature and a movie with a smimilar theme of "the American Dream". I'm thinking about using "Death of a Salesman" for the book but I can't think of a movie... Suggestions?

"Of Mice and Men"
The book portrays the American dream better than the movie, but the movie still shows the idea of the American Dream.

The movie "Far and Away" (1992) is about Irish immigrants and you might be able to use it...It has Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman in it...I had to watch it in my freshman American History class a few years back. It's a pretty good movie...
