Bob Dylan turns 76 today and we’re ranking Dylan’s 10 best film performances, dating back half a century to 1967. The key word is “performances,” which encompass acting work, concert films, and documentaries. It’s often hard to know when Dylan is acting and when he’s being himself (whoever that is), but whenever the iconic singer-songwriter appears on film, one thing’s for certain: you’re watching a performance.
Bob Dylan’s ‘Don’t Look Back’ Gets Deluxe Treatment With New Blu-ray Set
For this reason, we’re lumping everything together, ranking the films based on the depth and richness of performance. It was hard not to include the televised 1965 press conference in San Francisco, which sees Dylan effortlessly (and hilariously) shoot down reporters’ attempts to have him label himself, but we limited this list to feature-length films. Don’t look for Todd Haynes’ “I’m Not There” or any...

There are board game movies no one asked for, and sequels to remakes of B-movies that no one asked for, and adaptations of silly TV shows that no one asked for. So why not a film adaptation of a classic rock album by one of music’s greatest singer-songwriters?
Brazil-based production company Rt Features announced today that it has snapped up the movie rights to Bob Dylan’s 1975 double platinum album Blood on the Tracks. Company execs Rodrigo Teixeira and Fernando Loureiro plan to produce an English-language feature based on the influential album, which includes seminal songs like ”Tangled Up in Blue,...

The best albums tell stories. Not always in a strictly narrative sense — unless we’re talking about something like The Wall — but, through whatever means, deal with a recurring set of ideas, concepts, conflicts, and the time in which they were recorded. Name a truly great collection of tunes; there’s probably something “else” going on there.
So I don’t remotely question the motives detailed in Variety‘s story, those being plans to craft a feature film based on Bob Dylan‘s 1975 classic Blood on the Tracks. An (often scolding) ten-song experience about love, commitment, and hatred for someone close to you, Tracks is also widely, widely cited as a public expurgation of marital strains with the songwriter’s then-wife, Sara Dylan. (Who’s also the obvious inspiration behind his great love song, “Sara,” and probably some bootleg recordings my brain can’t think of right now.) Songs such...
