Gere's section was my favorite, contrary to most critics and viewers. Nothing beats Blancett's final moments on screen though.
I ask this for my edification, not as a challenge or anything.....why was the Gere section your favorite?
Hey, that was fun. thanks Lila.
I ran through it pretty fast and got 39 of 'em. I could have maybe figured out a couple more, but I decided to quit.
How do you figure out the correct answers, though? There were some that were really bugging me because I had no idea at all what they could be.
I googled film title quiz and ended up at a website that had the answers posted. Were you the only one who took it?

The Gere section really veers away from the "story" of Dylan the most. After the motorcycle accident, when he "retired" up to Woodstock, the music that came out of that period had a much more Americana feel to it, heavily laden with frontier and biblical imagery.
I liked how Haynes used this as a jumping-off point to take Dylan out of time and place him in the setting of his own music and writing. Almost everything in this section seems to be symbolic, and borrows stylistically from the films of Sam Peckinpah (Dylan actually had a small role in his Pat Garrett & Billy the Kid) and from Robert Altman's McCabe & Mrs. Miller.
All the costumes and make-up in the town/funeral scenes are so striking, and I find this incarnation is the one I keep coming back to for further insight, even if Gere as a performer doesn't move me as much as Blanchett or Ledger.

YLB, how incredible was DeNiro in Taxi Driver, Raging Bull and Mean Streets? I think people sometimes forget how awesome this guy was.
My pants just traveled a little.
And YLB, did you ever go into detail on Cape Fear? I think it's one of the more underrated Marty films.
GAF, don't you mean this?:
i'll admit it: i will probably see the sisterhood of the travelling pants 2. i saw the first one. and i'm not afraid of the teasing i'll get for posting this
