Pre-Great Depression, Great Depression, post-Great Depression in film.

I ain't got no home, I'm just a-roamin' 'round, Just a wandrin' worker, I go from town to town. And the police make it hard wherever I may go And I ain't got no home in this world anymore.

My brothers and my sisters are stranded on this road, A hot and dusty road that a million feet have trod; Rich man took my home and drove me from my door And I ain't got no home in this world anymore.

Was a-farmin' on the shares, and always I was poor; My crops I lay into the banker's store. My wife took down and died upon the cabin floor, And I ain't got no home in this world anymore.

I mined in your mines and I gathered in your corn I been working, mister, since the day I was born Now I worry all the time like I never did before 'Cause I ain't got no home in this world anymore

Now as I look around, it's mighty plain to see This world is such a great and a funny place to be; Oh, the gamblin' man is rich an' the workin' man is poor, And I ain't got no home in this world anymore.

I Ain't Got No Home" by Woody Guthrie

500 filmes mais engraçados da América (AFI)

In September of 2015, I began volunteering at a retirement home where my girlfriend works. She is an activity director and had showed me the very professional theater the facility has for the residents. I was intrigued at the idea of being able to use the theater myself, and soon suggested that I show classic films to the folks. I had recently re-engaged my self with Amazon, and one of my scores was the new Blu ray boxed set released for the 70th anniversary of Citizen Kane. This would be the perfect venue to watch it; back on the big screen! Other than a handful of films and the Universal Monster movies, I never had considered myself a Classic-Movie guy. But since I've started showing the films to the audience that saw them when they were released in the 30s/40s/50s, learning about them and collecting them has become my main obsession!

Anyway, here's my (ever expanding) list of classic DVDs & Blu rays...and a few Laserdiscs, too :)
