Tribute to the film, "Bagdad Cafe."

My wife and I recently went to visit the location where the 1987 film "Bagdad Cafe" was filmed. I have loved the film since I first saw it. I put together photos taken that day with stills from the film to make this little tribute.

I LOVE this movie! There's a certain feel to it that has me watching it over and over again. We stopped by the cafe on our Route 66 to Tombstone trip. I definitely want to stop by again. I didn't notice the camper trailer still there. I know the motel part was already gone. When did you visit?

@synholiday We visited about two years ago. The motel rooms were pretty run down, but still there, as were a couple of old trailers, similar to the one in the film.

It's only about a 40 minute drive from where we live and we do hope to visit it again soon.

ok i need some question :

1: is this movie funny???

2:is it based in bagdad or is it just screwing with are mines?

3:is it in australia?

4:why is this movie in a comedy section when you guys are saying this is a sad movie!!?

[BobStone1907]

1. The movie has wit, and moments of drama and sadness . . . just like life.

2. It takes place at a small restaurant/motel not far from Bagdad, California, off of I-40, east of Barstow, CA.

3. See previous answer.

4. The film ends on an uplifting and life affirming note, after all the emotion and drama.

I loved this film. I just happened upon one day years ago and was so taken in. might you be able to post the whole thing??

[BobStone1907]

You want me to post the whole film?! My use of the images and song are already a modest copyright infringement. Posting the film in its entirety would be far worse. No thanks.

Near the top of the list of my favorite movies. Never been to the Sidewinder, but have been through the area a few times; back-packed from coast to coast in '76! So cool that you went; I would love to go there, too. This film really captures the spirit of the road, though the story takes place in one location.
