Dead Man

One of my favorite movies of all time.

That was one of the first Netflix films I got in the mail. Ghost Dog made me want to watch Jarmusch's other stuff.

Down By Law is also a great one by Jarmusch, starring John Lurie (Fishing with John/Painting with John), Roberto Beningi (Life is Beautiful/The Tiger and the Snow) and Tom Waits (Tom Waits).

It was Beningi's first English film and he barely spoke english. His mistakes lead to some beautiful poetry from his character.

It is a sad and beautiful world.

His later work hasn't been as great as his early work, imo, but The Dead Don't Die was pretty funny.
