How about "Joy Luck Club" of Amy Tam and "Forrest Gump"?

How about these....
This boy's life, Basketball Diaries,
American Beauty,
The Aviator, Plath, The Pianist, ......

but I don't know what exactly you're looking for...

Thanks, both of you :)

I don't know exactly what I'm looking for too... you know, PK made some vague comments like, "you can think about how Ray (the Indian director) is different from hollywood ones..."
As I need to hand in the thesis in these few days, I may not have the time to further "think" what he wants me to add...
