And I wouldn't call "The Grapes of Wrath" homeless, either; the Joad Family always had some place to go, even in the Great Depression.
Great films about homelessness
My first thought is the nearly-silent South Korean film 3-Iron. The protagonist breaks into peoples' homes when they're on vacation, crashes their for a couple of days, then moves on to another house. It's not really about "life on the streets," and the guy is clearly homelesss by choice, but it's a phenominal film.

I have only seen it once but it had excellent acting performances by both the late Robin Williams and Jeff Bridges.

Not sure if it is exactly homelessness per say, but Into the Wild (2007) could be considered. He abandons conventional life for life in the wild.
+1 for "3-Iron"
Grave of the Fireflies?
Trains, Planes and Automobiles
Little Red Wagon
"Dark Days" also - if you mean documentaries

In the UK Cathy Come Home was a famous play by Ken Loach which you can get on dvd. I know it's not a film but it was very influential in it's time. It gave impetus to the setting up of Shelter one of the UK's leading charities for the homeless

Thanks guys. Only ONE of those movies mentioned is here at the library, and it's an animation. I guess I prefer to see real humans, although I did love the animation film, "Persepolis" and have been told to get "Walking Life" which I have downloaded...
