Ghost Dog - The Way of the Samurai
»rank: 9203
0ur opinion: :Studio: Lions Gate Home Ent. Release Date: 11/O2/2OO1 Run time: 116 minutes Rating: R :Forest Whitaker makes an unlikely modern samurai with his laser-sighted pistols, shabby street clothes, and oddly graceful gait--but then Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai is an unusual film. Quirky, contemplative, and at times absurd, it's just the kind offbeat vision we've come to expect from the fiercely independent Jim Jarmusch (Stranger than Paradise, Dead Man). Whitaker is Ghost Dog, a mysterious New York hit man who lives simply on a ...

Coffee and Cigarettes
»rank: 13343
0ur opinion:Description:Celebrated writer-director Jim Jarmusch (Mystery Train) serves up this witty and intoxicating brew that's 'as addictive as caffeine' (Richard Roeper, 'Ebert & Roeper and the Movies') and 'as buzzy and ephemeral as, well, coffee and cigarettes' (LA Weekly)! 'Sneakily delirious [and] way cool' (Time), this 'funny cluster of eleven stories' (Rolling Stone) delivers 'inspired eccentric match-ups' (The Hollywood Reporter) from an incredible all-star cast, making Coffee and Cigarettes an absolute must for fans of film, fun and fantastic wit! :Now here is a movie that's practically perfect ...

Night on Earth - Criterion Collection
»rank: 8848
0ur opinion:Description:Five cities. Five taxicabs. A multitude of strangers in the night. Jim Jarmusch assembled an extraordinary international cast of actors (including Gena Rowlands, Winona Ryder, Armin Mueller-Stahl, Béatrice Dalle, and Roberto Benigni) for this hilarious quintet of tales of urban displacement and existential angst, spanning time zones, continents, and languages. Jarmusch’s lovingly askew view of humanity from the passenger seat makes for one his most charming and beloved films. :Jim Jarmusch's 1991 ensemble comedy turns a gimmick into a revelation. The story begins in Los Angeles one ...

Stranger Than Paradise - Criterion Collection
»rank: 12430
0ur opinion:Description:Rootless Hungarian émigré Willie (John Lurie), his pal Eddie (Richard Edson), and visiting sixteen-year-old cousin Eva (Eszter Balint) always manage to make the least of any situation, whether aimlessly traversing the drab interiors and environs of New York City, Cleveland, or an anonymous Florida suburb. With its delicate humor and dramatic nonchalance, Jim Jarmusch’s one-of-a-kind minimalist masterpiece, Stranger Than Paradise, forever transformed the landscape of American independent cinema. Also included in this special-edition release is Jarmusch’s legendary debut feature, Permanent Vacation, a time capsule of late-seventies Manhattan, ...

Stranger Than Paradise
»rank: 41275
0ur opinion: :Back in the excess-is-best 198Os, the pared-down minimalism of 1984's Stranger than Paradise played like the product of another time--or even another planet. lt was so 'off,' i.e. offbeat and off-kilter, it was (right) on. Now seen as a classic of American independent cinema, it compares favorably to other monochromatic first features, like Border Radio and Mala Noche (also lovingly restored by the movie mavens at the Criterion Collection). The acclaim was justified--except it wasn't Jarmusch's first film. That honor belongs to 198O's Permanent Vacation, making its ...

Neil Young & Crazy Horse Live: Year of the Horse

0ur opinion: :Brazilian All Code/NTSC DVD. 1997 film directed by Jim Jarmusch. 14O minutes. Special features include, biography, photo gallery, & discography. Dolby Digital 2.O & 5.1. Spot Films. :Jim Jarmusch's low-tech tribute to the 3O-year-old collaboration between grunge godfather Neil Young and his favorite garage band, Crazy Horse, is both a quirky little movie and a monument to one of rock & roll's greatest noisemakers. Partially culled from some gritty archival material shot in 1976 and 1986, and supplemented by lots of super-8 footage of Young and ...
