Uncle Bob did indeed make movies, and his first - a sort of "fly on the wall" 
documentary filmed by D A Pennebaker on his 1965 UK tour - was called "Don't 
Look Back". Its worth a watch (but then I'm a big Bob fan) just for the act he 
adopts all the way through. Pennebaker also filmed on the 1966 tour (an 
unreleased but often bootlegged film called "Eat the Document" featuring John 
Lennon among others). Dylan's last foray in the film industry was a damn-awful 
film called "Hearts of Fire" in about 1985, in which he plays (wait for it...) 
and ageing rock start. Bloody awful stuff!

Hope this helps
Mike
