Controversial

Alot of people been saying that. They're dumb and wrong but it's not an unpopular take.

Porco Rosso

Repulsion and Macbeth

I've seen three Jarmusch movies and that's the only one I didn't hate outright.

Legitimately might have the best performances from both leo and pitt

Dead Man? A top ten western ever

He famously stole that one. Not sure I can stomach another tbh.

Famously stole it from who? I've been obsessed with it for decades and never heard that

Flowers of St Francis the best Rossellini

Diary Of A Country Priest the best Bresson

Miracle In Milan the best De Sica

Strangers On A Train might be the best Hitchcock

Throne Of Blood best Kurosawa

Vivre Sa Vie best Godard

Stroszek best Herzog

Bitter Tears Of Petra best Fassbinder

Serious Man best Coens

The Hole best Tsai Ming Liang

Speed Racer best Wachowski sis

Furiosa best George Miller

You can confirm these details elsewhere so don't knock me that I'm citing a reply on a blogpost

In the late 80s he was supposed to direct a Western written by Rudy Wurlitzer (writer of Pat Garrett & Billy the Kid) called Zebulon. Zebulon was about a mountain man who got a bullet embedded in his heart and is referred to as a "dead man" by his Indian friend as he goes on an episodic journey encountering various characters in the American West until he goes to the spirit world. Outside of the mountain man element does that sound familiar? After they had some creative differences, Jarmusch cannibalized Wurlitzer's script and used it for the creation of Dead Man, essentially ensuring that Zebulon could never get made in its current form and not giving Wurlitzer an ounce of credit. Director Alex Cox tried to persuade Wurlitzer to take legal action but Wurlitzer had become something of a passive Buddhist and let it go, rewriting his script into the novel The Drop Edge of Yonder. This is not the first time Jarmusch has been accused of outright theft (see Broken Flowers). Having read Zebulon it has a far superior script to Dead Man. More sad and elegaic like Pat Garrett & Billy the Kid. Dead Man can't help but pale in comparison.

I almost thought I had confused it for his theft of Broken Flowers for a second

Interesting and unfortunate if true but still don't think this is a "famous" fact. and Wurlitzer definitely wouldn't have hired Neil Young to play an all time great score, struck that same tone, cast those actors or make them deliver those lines in that way. Also Dead Man s***s on Pat Garret & Billy The Kid from a great height. Easily Jarmusch best film just watch it

Impeccable writing and interesting historical background

Speaking of Pat Garrett & Billy the Kid, underrated in Peckinpah filmog or the ballad of cable hogue

Inherent Vice for PTA

Bro made ten proto-mumblecore joints until someone else wrote him a genre film

Sergeant Rutledge for John Ford
Extreme Prejudice for Walter Hill
Heroes Shed No Tears for John Woo
Texasville for Peter Bogdanovich
The Rain People for FFC
The Last Boy Scout for Tony Scott

Wolf of Wallstreet

You've only seen 3

Which ones anyway

Pilgrimage another Ford contender

Now that's a good one but I'm biased

And if I was wrong you'd say "you're wrong"

Only the modern stuff start to finish. OLLA, TDDD, Paterson

Seen bits and pieces of Ghost Dog and one of those proto-mumblecore joints
