Expecting Rain

How many movies can we come up with that contain a Dylan song? I'll guess we can get over 100 pretty easily and relatively quickly.

For fun, let's also include any movie that mentions him by name or shows a picture of him or any kind of Dylan poster or Dylan album cover.

Let's get some of the obvious ones out of the way...
1. Don't Look Back
2. Pat Garrett & Billy The Kid
3. The Last Waltz
4. Renaldo & Clara
5. Masked & Anonymous
6. I'm Not There
7. No Direction Home

And I'll add three more...

8. High Fidelity (Most of the Time, also Blonde On Blonde album is shown along with the great quote from the Jack Black character: "You don't have it? That is perverse. Don't tell anyone you don't own Blonde On Blonde")

9. The Ballad of Jack and Rose (Boots of Spanish Leather, Shooting Star, One More Cup of Coffee - if you haven't seen it, pretty good movie with Daniel Day Lewis)

10. Almost Famous (no Dylan on the soundtrack but Blonde on Blonde is one of the albums shown when the kid is flipping through the records his sister left him and Dylan is mentioned at least twice..."She almost died last night while you were with (pause) Bob Dylan!").

Let’s keep it to no more than 3 per post and keep the numbering going so that we have a running tally (next one is #11). And try to include the song or reference along with the movie name. We’ll save covers of Dylan songs for when we run out of originals.

11. Wonder Boys ("Things Have Changed")

SirDogg, you ruined it, that's no fun!

Has anyone seen, or know anybody who has seen, this Paradise Cove film? Was it even released?

^ Yeah, has anyone seen it?

I've actually not even seen Heart of Fire

Jerry Maguire

Best to keep it that way

for those who don't view SirDogg's spoiler:

Forest Gump

Lucky You

> - are we counting Bob covers?

Natural Born Killers - (You Belong to Me) http://grooveshark.com/#!/s/You+Belong+ ... fk1e?src=5

Feeling Minnesota - (Ring of Fire)

In the first Alvin and the Chipmonks movie there was a poster of the Time out of Mind album cover on the wall of one of the rooms; there was however no Dylan covers offered up by the rodent vocal trio.

What about movies that are named for Bob songs?

Just Like A Woman - UK cross-dressing comedy with Julie Walters
Simple Twist of Fate - Steve Martin in semi-serious role
The Mighty Quinn - awful Denzel Washington (I think) vehicle

I watched a movie which had "Thunder On The Mountain" in it but I have forgotten what it was called!

The Big Lebowski with Jeff Bridges. He's a big fan of Bob and in the opening scene "The Man in Me" is playing. Pretty funny movie.

- how did you miss All Along the Watchtower?

True Blood- second season - Beyond Here Lies Nothing

Californication, first season...If You See Her, Say Hello. There was also a cover of Not Dark Yet in season 3.

Friends, season 8 - Sign on the Window.

The People Speak ~ "Do Re Mi"

Here's one you might not know about:

There's a really great indie film called 'The Ballad Of Jack & Rose'

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0357110/

Its written and directed by Rebecca Miller, who is married to Daniel Day-Lewis.

I can totally recommend it. DDL puts in a really cool acting job (as ever) as Jack and it has a hearfelt message too, perfect eco-message for the time we are living through. I thoroughly enjoyed watching it.

The soundtrack really complements the film, and has 'Boots of Spanish Leather', 'Shooting Star' and 'One More Cup Of Coffee' by our man.

You can't buy the soundtrack cos they never released one, but this might help you imagine it:
