Note: this index is taken from the DVD version of the film, which is on reserve in 100 Jones Hall and also available via various distibuted media centers on campus (see "How to see the Film Again" for details).  You can use this index to take notes while you watch the film and also to locate specific scenes on the DVD, which may be helpful if you decide to write your third essay on "Lone Star."  The titles refer to key moments within each scene.  A few key song titles are given as well.
