Bagdad Cafe | 1988
German tourist Jasmin (Marianne Sagebrecht) brings a touch of magic to the humble roadside stopoff of harassed Brenda (CCH Pounder) in Percy Adlon's whimsical fantasy.
The cafe was the Sidewinder Cafe, now – unsurprisingly renamed the Bagdad Cafe – on the famed old Route 66, between the east and west off-ramps of I-40, Newberry Springs, east of Barstow, on Highway 40, California.
It's every bit as friendly and eccentric as it seems on screen. Don't forget to sign the visitors’ book.
