"I" is ingenious

"Unlike any film in recent memory, this tragic, romantic elegy is an ingenious feat:  magisterial in its vision, bare-bones in its telling, contrasting a singular vision of gay life in America set against the complexity of falling in love."
-- Gabriel Shanks, Mixed Reviews

"J" is jamboree

Jack sang "Water Walkin' Jesus" accompanied by Ennis' coffeepot drumming — an impromptu mountain jamboree.

"L" is label

"Unfortunately people are very quick in life to label something that they're uncomfortable with.  [Brokeback Mountain] transcends a label.  It's a story of two human beings that are in love; get over the fact that it's two men.  That's the point....  If you can't understand it, just don't go see the movie."
-- Heath Ledger as quoted by The Associated Press

Lureen seduced Jack with (among other things) her pert mammaries.

In the story, Jack was a bundle of nerves when meeting Alma.

"O" is occasional

"From its first moments, it becomes clear that what is spoken aloud in Brokeback Mountain is far less important than what goes unsaid.  It is a meditative film, unhurried in its storytelling, confident enough in its own abilities to indulge in gorgeous scenery and the occasional joke."

When Ennis realized that he couldn't have a relationship with anyone other than Jack, Cassie was out of the picture.

Ennis ransacked the closet looking for a presentable shirt to wear on his "fishin' trip" with Jack.
