Stranger than Paradise is definitely good. I have a soft spot in my heart for the "We all scream for ice cream!" scene from Down by Law big-time -- I haven't seen it since it came out, and I still grin uncontrollably when I think about it. So I'd probably get Down by Law first. Stranger than Paradise is very worth watching and most think it's the better film(by far, for some), but I guess it didn't burn itself into me as much, though I was wowed by it too.

I haven't seen Ghost Dog. Or any of his other films. I definitely would like to catch them sometime though.
