I don't know what
I wouldn't mind being transported into one of Jim Jarmusch’s early films. His characters all have this certain je ne sais quoi...an eerie and awkward charm maybe, that seems so very stylish when combined with the director's fantastic camerawork and deep blues-y soundtracks. Take Jarmusch’s most favored actor (and composer) John Lurie for example—he isn’t particularly attractive what with his strange nose and bizarre pout, and yet he emanates this cool vibe just by the way he cocks his head and walks with his jacket slung over his shoulder. It’s fabulous.
John Lurie in Stranger than Paradise
Chris Parker in Permanent Vacation
Masatoshi Nagase and Yuki Kudo in Mystery Train
And my favorite three--Tom Waits, John Lurie and Roberto Benigni in Down by Law

*John Lurie* bahm bahm... my heart beats hard...
in general, i'm not a waits fan. actually, as a rule, i'm not. but down by law was just so good. and, yeah, lurie in stranger than paradise is cooler than cool, but i'm not really sure why.
A lot of women can find guys attractive not for the way they look as much as the way they carry themselves.
