This sparked a memory of a movie I've looked for in the past with no luck. I'm not sure if this is the right place (I asked on /r/tipofmytongue once, and got nowhere), but given it's at least tangentially related, I thought I'd give it a shot. And hey, if someone recognizes it, then we have 11 films about the immigrant experience.
Edit: It was Molly's Pilgrim - the "fishes" scene is at about 2:50, and thus ends a 30+ year long mystery for me.
I can't remember what it's called (obviously), but what I do remember was:
I will add Moscow on the Hudson although I have never watched it as an adult.
I was surprised by this film as a young teen because of an unexpected Robin Williams sex scene. I should revisit it.
As the line between films and TV series is blurring, I would add Flight of the Concords to the list.
