    It was cool to see Bill Murray in his Hot Ones episode being asked what his best movie was. Doesn’t give a crowd-pleasing answer, he just immediately says Broken Flowers. I felt the same way as soon as it cut to credits, and I still do, 20 years later. It’s perfect.

    I love the movie Broken Flowers (2005), where Don (Bill Murray) visits four of his old girlfriends to piece together whether one of them may have had a son by him 20 years earlier. Don discovers a little more about himself, and them, than he was ready for.

    Happy Birthday Jim Jarmusch. 73 today. Broken Flowers is perhaps my favourite film of his. I watched it shortly after my beloved Grandfather passed away and really touched me about its pursuit of loss, grief and passing #filmsky #moviesky #cinema boxd.it/8zF0Lx

    In the Jim Jarmusch film BROKEN FLOWERS (2005), Bill Murray’s character flies around the country, reconnecting with ex-girlfriends. Except every airport he flies in and out of is clearly just Newark International

    Broken Flowers is solid Jarmusch, but Murray might be a bit too dry, surprisingly. Caught by the Tides is such a sad movie set against China’s modernization. Shin Godzilla was a lot better this time around. Hilarious satire! Wolf Children is the first Hosoda film I’ve liked somehow. He did it!

    Seconding Life Aquatic, it is amazing! Additionally, [Broken Flowers](https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/308-broken-flowers) is also really good, that is if you like Jim Jarmusch movies. If you do, you should also check out [Coffee & Cigarettes](https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/68540-coffee-and-cigarettes), there is only one skit with Murray but the rest of it is also fantastic.

    Cool. I still need to catch up on that one, at least now I have something to look forward to, apparently. I've seen every Jarmusch film until Broken Flowers when they came out. Most of those more than once. But I have not yet seen all of the ones after that one, and none of these more than once.

    Kind of was wasn’t a date but we went and saw Broken Flowers a Cannes Grand Prix film by Jim Jarmusch that was about a sad man confronting his former ‘terrible’ lovers, one of whom might be the mother of a secret child. It was awful and I’ve never been more conscious of eating kettle chips.

    Anyway, all this talk of Blake has made me want to see Dead Man again. I'm reminded, in turn, of one of the more famous visitors to the coffee shop, Mulatu Astatke, king of Ethiojazz, who did the sound track for the Jarmusch movie Broken Flowers. Very cool music.

    “They are telling us that ‘woke’ is a negative thing,” continued Jarmusch, an indie filmmaker known for such works as “Coffee and Cigarettes,” “Stranger Than Paradise” and “Broken Flowers.” “I would just like to say it’s time we wake the fuck up!”

    I watched "Broken Flowers" several years ago. Recently, I watched "Paterson" on Amazon. Something of a slice of life film. Some may consider it too slowly paced but I thought it was first-rate. A bus driver who writes poetry. Scenes on bus clever. "The Limits of Control" on my watch list.

    I'm especially fond of The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou, and (dark horse pick) Broken Flowers. I also love the casting story for St. Vincent, which isn't the best Bill film but it's sweet.

  • Dayv (scary version) @dayv.wtfBluesky · Oct 7, 2023

    Gonna get you to watch Broken Flowers, it's a Bill Murray pic AND a slowly paced Jim Jarmusch film. I consider it a precursor to Lost in Translation, in that he's playing a similar sorta out of touch older middle aged guy with a lot of privilege and not much meaningful human connection. Perfect 4U

    I agree with Bill Murray that Broken Flowers is the best he's ever been in anything. It really feels like the kind of movie he was trying to get to make in the 80's but he had to wait for Jim Jarmusch to come into his life.

    Not Jim Jarmusch's best film - that is probably still Down by Law, or Mystery Train, or Night on Earth, or Ghost Dog, or Paterson - but Broken Flowers really does remain my favourite. I couldn't stop laughing when I saw it at the cinema, now it is still very funny but simultaneously just very sad.

    ... to capture another film or story for the list. For example: I loved the film Paterson, and watched Broken Flowers as I was working my way through Bill Murray movies I hadn't seen, realized Jim Jarmusch flicks might hold interest for me, watched Ghost Dog, and now I'm reading Hagakure.
