Seeking perspective in riding the tough economic times? Starting today and through Sunday, the American Cinematheque's Aero Theatre will feature Brother, Can You Spare a Dime? Great Films of the Great Depression, a series "designed to showcase the funniest, scariest and most romantic movies of an era a little too close to our own for comfort," writes Mike Winder at Blogging LA. Bonus: the series is free if you bring your EDD checks.cropped photo Dorothea Lange via Google Images
