Stranger than Paradise vs. Down by Law

I saw Down by Law recently and I really liked the meditative pace and the sheer quirkiness of some of the film's better moments.

I was wondering if anyone knows how Stranger than Paradise compares to it and if you would recommend it.

I think that if you liked "Down By Law", then you will definately like "Stranger Than Paradise". It has a similar pacing, deadpan humor and quirky (for lack of a better word) characters.

They are very similar in feel and tone, although I find Down By Law to be a bit more accessable.
