Summary: life is good
Review: This is a beautiful film. It sets a mood, brings you inside, and by the end, you remember that life might be kind of weird and brutal at times, but it's in your control to make it magical and beautiful.

Summary: German Edition Available on Laserdisc (20 m. longer)!
Review: The added scenes are not sub-titled in English, but need not be, and they're great. The Laserdisc version is well-worth the effort, if you can find it. Available at Scarecrow Video in Seattle (along with the subtitled PAL version (not dubbed) version of "Un Homme ey Une Femme" by Claude Lelouche.

Summary: Please encourage the reissuing of this film! It's magic.
Review: I could watch Bagdad Cafe over and over again. I can't take my eyes off of it. The people, the place, the music, the story. It's magic. It's different from anything I've ever seen. I understand it is not currently available. How can we encourage reissuing of it? I foolishly loaned my copy and it hasn't come back.

Summary: This is the desert.
Review: I grew up near Newberry (now Newberry Springs, according to credits) and this captures the desert isolation and beauty perfectly. (My parents had a motel, but not as bleak as this one.) Earlier reviews have done this movie justice, I won't duplicate their good efforts. I have one negative: I think it would have been better without the overblown muscial ending--somehow that was jarring to the whole feel of the movie, it was gilding the lily. We GOT it, don't pound it in. But oh well, I loved it anyway, in spite of that.

Summary: The best movie ever made!
Review: When I was a freshman at the University of Oklahoma I was in an intro film class. I wasn't sure what I wanted to do with my life until our film teacher showed us this film. I have never been so captivated by a film as I was by this one. After I saw this film I knew that filmmaking is what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. Thank you Percy Adlon.

Summary: Perfect movie to see
Review: I'd like to applause to those who anticipated to make this movie. I've never seen any movie like this which is so touching. I couldn't take my eyes off the screen while I was watching the movie. The actors' characteristic acts, beautiful long shots, the sudden changes of the atmospheres in each scene by light changes and so on. If you're tired of seeing some cheep hollywood action movies and looking for something different. I mean if you're thinking of watching a movie not only with youe eyes without thinking but also with your mind. This is it! You will never regret to see this movie!

Summary: A True Masterpiece
Review: Superb characters notwithstanding, the draw of the movie is its sublime sense of desolation--and realism. How lovely to see such rich and tender relationships develop out of seemingly nothing, in the middle of nowhere. What I loved most about Bagdad Cafe when I saw it God knows how many years ago was the idea that the world spins on a dime--that no matter who you are or where you live, the potential for someone (or something) to appear in your life virtually out of nowhere and change it for the better is always waiting deliciously in the shadows of each and every one of our lives. Rent this video, enjoy every minute of it, then buy it to watch over and over again. It is a truly wonderful film.

Summary: Pure magic.
Review: "Bagdad Cafe" is full of so much magic missing in all of our everyday lives. The funny part of it is, our magic is right in front of our eyes. But sometimes it takes someone else to point it out to us. This movie is full of simple discoveries that change your whole world for the better, if you let it.

Summary: Avoid like the plague
Review: I don't know what you all were thinking (except that person who liked the fact that s/he was "weird")-this movie was terrible. What a waste of time. Do not even consider wasting hard earned money (or even free time!) on such a pit.

Summary: Only took a few minutes to draw me in...
Review: I saw this movie today for the first time-it was wonderful! I am proud that the word used most to describe me is weird. This movie is weird, yet it made me laugh, cry and taught me some serious lessons on tolerance, acceptance and friendship. I can't wait to see it again and will "plug it in" anytime I need a lift!
