Dead Man was kind of odd but had a very poetic feel to it. I never saw Broken Flowers, which I heard was more mainstream.

Don’t give up on Jarmusch after just Broken Flowers and Dead Man. Dead Man is one of his more, well, difficult films (though I really liked Broken Flowers). Try Down By Law, a classic film starring Roberto Benigni and Tom Waits, or Ghost Dog, with Forest Whitaker (and an amazing soundtrack by RZA of the Wu-Tang Clan). Coffee and Cigarettes is fun because of the cast, but not all that memorable.

Although it certainly worked in the context of the film. The interplay between Murray and that kid he is studying is classic.

I’m really, really hoping that Wes Anderson finds his groove again.

2. Dr. Peter Venkman — Ghostbusters 2
3. Raliegh St. Claire — The Royal Tenenbaums
4. Herman Blume — Rushmore
5. Don Johnston — Broken Flowers

I thought Lost in Translation was by far a better film than Broken Flowers, but I think I like the Don Johnston character more.

I can’t exactly say why. It might just be due to my general aversion to late 70′s/80′s culture in general.

I probably like him the most in Groundhog Day. He was convincing along the broadest spectrum of states of mind you can imagine. That was one of the great comedic performances, maybe the best since Peter Sellers in Dr. Strangelove.

I liked him in Broken Flowers but I wasn’t too hot on the movie. After watching that and Dead Man I’ve come to the conclusion that I just don’t get Jarmusch, though I did like Neil Young’s soundtrack work in Dead Man.

He was funny in What About Bob? and The Man Who Knew Too Little, but neither performance was particularly impressive. They were both kind of one-note.

I don’t remember much of him from The Royal Tennenbaums, but I seem to remember liking him.
