On the subject of Jarmusch, don't overlook Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai.
GREAT movie. Not a typical Jarmusch movie either, although RZA doing the soundtrack isn't a huge stretch.

Want to see soon. . .
That's true. Just saw Cloverfield. Interesting take on a monster movie.
I saw a really bad movie last night; Buy the Ticket, Take the Ride: Hunter S. Thompson on Film. It made me appreciate Born Into This as the very first rate documentary it is.
How can you make a dull, lifeless movie about someone like Hunter Thompson, for chrissakes?! It's a mystery to me, but they've done it.
Though if you ever have a chance to see the first 10 minutes of Buy the Ticket for free on cable somewhere, it's worth watching just to see how clearly wacko Gary Busey is.

I knew he was a nut when he lit the cigar with a lighter
instead of a wooden match about 50 seconds into the first vid.

Okay,

I watched "Key Largo" the other night, I love that movie.
yes, yes, and yes.
did I mention yes?
Wow, I feel like a dick for not knowing about this film maker, Frederick Wiseman. All of those look like really great documentaries. I can see I'll be dropping some dough on that site.Just finished watching Titicut Follies, a 1967 fly-on-the-wall documentary of the Massachusetts Correctional Institution at Bridgewater, a institute for the criminally insane. An intense and sad film and highly recommended (by me, so take it with a grain of salt).
It's not just you.I never got this Daniel Day Lewis. I guess that it is just me.
Other than that though, he's the equivelant of Kevin Costner. Ok actor I guess, but nothing that really stands out to me.
Even though I;m not much of a DDL fan, I would not compare him to Kevin Costner, who I find is a painfully cardboard version of a real human....
There are a couple rules that are in force at my house. One is that I do nto watch any movies with Kevin Costner in them. My wife has been kind enough to not force the issue.
