Any chance we might be able to show a couple movies, maybe one each of two nights, at the late-April get-together in Portland?
Like, what would it take to get some electric out there to power a TV & DVD/VHS player? A miracle?

if you don't know Tony Gatliff movies, they are a must see if you have a travelling bone. They are about Roma people (gypsies), so if you like to Roama... I like bad puns.

And back in the land of cheeseburgers, I like the movie "You can count on me" a lot. It's not about travelling per say, but one of the main characters is a traveller and the essence of what that means is captured really well.

Days of Heaven by Terrance Malik is beautifully shot but terribly slow moving, like everything Malick does on both counts.Its
about agracultural workers circa 1920, and starts out with a freight hopping sequence.

I just saw "The Art of TraveL" (fiction)ok, but not great.
