"Coming to America" is a hilarious 1980s rom-com that has stood the test of time. The film follows an African prince named Akeem (Eddie Murphy) who travels to Queens, New York, to find a wife. Akeem's best friend, Semmi (Arsenio Hall), also joins the prince on his quest, and the two wind up in some very side-splitting scenarios. The film got a sequel in 2021, which is also definitely worth giving a watch after viewing this classic comedy film.
