Robby Muller shooting a visual adaptation of Tom Waits' Rain Dogs that was written and directed by Jim Jarmusch and acted brilliantly by Waits, John Lurie, and Roberto Bengini. there's no way to not love it, i'm sorry.

this was the first Jarmusch film for me and I loved it. yes it's sort of vague at times but the black/white cinematography is beautiful. just beautiful. Tom Waits is great here too. def very eclectic very, very good. I cant wait to watch more of his films. also: "I screama you screama we all screama for ice creama"

Down by Law (1986) – Second movie by Jim Jarmusch that I have seen after instantly falling in love with his ‘Stranger than Paradise’ and I have to say that Jarmusch is a director who knows what cinema is all about & a master of minimalism. His movies remind you of work of Finnish director Aki Kaurismaki. An amazing tragicomedy with sound performances, atmospheric contemporary Black & White wonder. Highly Recommended!

This film is long in the beginning, long in the middle, and long in the end. I loved every minute of it. My face was hurting by the end from smiling so much, which has only happened to me (I think) while watching Chungking Express and Punch-Drunk Love. I am very pleased to have had the opportunity to see it, and on a 35mm projection. Savvy

Down By Law is rich with the cozy charm and existential atmosphere that is signature Jarmush. However, when our meandering anti-heroes close the storybook, it feels contrived instead of inspired like it did in Stranger Than Paradise.

Amateurish initial beginning (like some reviewers on here have rightly pointed out) but as it progresses, becomes more and more enjoyable. Laughed many times, with even more memorable moments.

Such a joy. There was more than one moment that I laughed until my stomach hurt. I have really been in the need of a comedy with replay value and something a bit deeper to it. A great blind buy and just overall a great cinematic experience and also lesson in filmmaking.

I really should re-watch this, because it was without a doubt one of the (surprisingly) nicest cinematic experiences I've had.

Instantly one of my favorites of all time... It's "Rain Dogs" as an absurdist New Orleans slice of cool... 'I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream!'
