Hello,

I did try to compile Bob Dylan filmography before. and try to do it
again. But since I didn't see all of the movies, the list could be
wrong. and I believe that people on this list knows it more than this. 
So please post (or send me) additions and corrections.

  Sources of the filmography are

 - rec.music.dylan FAQ by John Howell   http://www.punkhart.com/dylan/
 - All Movie Guide                      http://allmovie.com/
 - Intenet Movie Deta Base              http://us.imdb.com/Name?Dylan,+Bob
 - Paul Williams' book                  _Performing Artist 1974-1986_
 - a lots of posts on this mailing-list/newsgroup.
 (and thanks for everyone sent me email. )
