Top 10 Jim Jarmusch Films

A black and white avenue in the most dismal downtown; an unemployed man; seeking nothing; not even his own destiny; people walking; they don’t even matter; a samurai living in America living the samurai dream; a French sandwich man, three men bursting out of jail wandering in the forest, again going nowhere, a man staring at the wall all the time, two men drinking coffee and smoking, talking about things that don’t matter, a small inn in the middle of nowhere, a Chinese couple seeking nothing, a man roaming in the streets as he aimlessly inspects the city ruins, he’s on vacation, a desperate man looking for a job in a dark dark town of hate and sweat, people doing absolutely nothing, people at their most idle situation, people as they never even existed, Jim Jarmusch & cinema!

(Note: This list is provided before the release of Jim's upcoming film The Limits Of Control)
