Stranger than Paradise or Down by Law?


I've just watched them both for the first time within a week of each other and I think I like Down by Law more.

They're both great movies, but Down By Law was an even more depressing atmosphere than the lower Manhattan, inner city industrial Cleveland, and abandoned Florida is Stranger Than Paradise. But John Lurie did a great job playing the same kind of very self-centered character he did in the first one.

I have to go with Stranger than Paradise. I like the dynamic between Willie / Eva / Eddie more, there's more humor (for me), plus Eva 
