This new page collects song performances from regular Dylan albums on VHS video and DVD included in films in the1990s (I'm ignoring any editing or talking over them). I would be grateful for any additional information on these items and other material to place here. Films are listed by date of original appearance (in theatres or on TV), not when the VHS video or DVD came out, often some years later. For the audio soundtrack albums on which these songs often also appear, see International Album Releases (Various Artists Compilations). Uncredited pictures are from amazon.com or amazon.co.uk.
For a full Dylan filmography, see "Expecting Rain"
or "TV Talkin'"
. For informed discussion of all Bob's screen appearances, see C.P. Lee's
well-received book "Like A Bullet Of Light ".
All scans that aren't credited are from my own collection or amazon.com.
If you have any entries to add to the list or additions/corrections to
existing entries, please let me know!
Please note I cannot value your Dylan rarities -
see the Mission page for reasons why. Contact the
dealers on my Trading page for assistance!

This early film by Michael Moore includes The Times They Are A-Changin'
from the album of the same name, however I now know it's sung by Michael
Moore, not Bob.
The editions shown are from 2004, released after the success of Michael
Moore's films Bowling For Columbine and Fahrenheit 9/11. There
is no UK VHS release. For the 2004 audio soundtrack album to Michael Moore's later film Fahrenheit 9/11, which includes a Dylan song, see International Album Releases (Various Artists Compilations). (The song isn't in the film itself, so it isn't listed in these pages.) Thanks to Jack from Canada for information. |
