I can talk for hours about any and all Jarmusch, but Broken Flowers is absolutely the right choice. Accessible, has a narrative, has humor, humans, and emotions. And of course, Bill Murray.
I am so torn. On one hand, I completely agree with you and I love the movie and think it could get people interested in indie films if they aren't already. On the other, I think that La Haine is a very important political and social film to watch.
That's kind of why I want to avoid La Haine. Don't get me wrong, it's an extremely important film to see, but I think Broken Flowers is better for this, especially when we can view a film that opens the door to "plot is not important"-- which Jarmusch is the master of, but still have an intriguing narrative. It's something so totally unique to indie cinema because it would never work in the mainstream.
I can agree with that, I'll change my vote to Broken Flowers because I think there are other topics where we'll have a chance to watch La Haine. Also, something for the future but somehow r/truefilm has a "theater" where they occasionally have movie screenings, I wonder if we could fix something like that.

-That would be pretty kick ass.
