Line 225:
=== [[Film]] ===
* Most of the people in [[Casablanca]]; the place was a gathering spot of People Without A Country.
* [[Laurel and Hardy]] made their last movie in France, with a supporting cast of French actors. The movie has been distributed in English under several titles, including "Utopia" and "Atoll K." One of the characters in the movie is a stateless refugee without a passport, whom no country will accept. When Stan and Ollie start their own nation on an obscure island, they are forced to accept this man as an immigrant because they lack the resources to deport him and there's no country they can deport him too. As the movie ends, he gets eaten by a lion: the fade-out gag in the very last Laurel & Hardy film.
* ''[[The Terminal]]'' is a [[Tom Hanks]] film about a man being detained at JFK airport because while he was in flight his home country fell to a civil war and effectively ceased to exist. He can't leave the airport to go to New York, and he can't fly home, since his country technically doesn't exist anymore. So he starts living in the airport terminal, making friends with various workers, and developing feelings for a flight attendant named Amelia. [[Very Loosely Based on a True Story]] about a guy who was stuck in a French airport for ''18 years''.
