Lightdeossk Captivating movie !
Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
Suman Roberson It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.
Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

spam-gregmalone I simply had to register on this site and weigh in on this film. Even though Bagdad Cafe was released a long time ago (late 80's), and I'd never heard of it before recently, for some reason it came across my vision from two different sources in the last week. These two sources "oozed" about how great a film it is. I went online and read lots of similar reviews, including the NYTimes, Rotten Tomatoes, and many more. Nearly all oozed with praise for this film.So I watched it. Yes, nice photography. That's where it stopped for me. The rest is about cardboard characters walking through a thinly written script with poorly transitioned plot evolutions, ... I don't get it. It's so-called "charm" is OK, I guess, but hardly worth the gushing reviews I've read.I love movies. Watch many. Many types. I don't see what all the fuss is about on Bagdad Cafe. Curious.
scscott45 I never saw the TV series of the same name; just the movie. I really don't know how they made a series out of it, as the movie was perfect just the way it was made. It is simply a charming, warmhearted, funny little story that was totally enjoyable, and I have remembered it all these years after seeing it. I looked it up on the net just on a whim tonight, and got enthusiastic and lonesome for it all over again, so I just ordered a copy of it online from overstock.com. I can't wait to show this movie to my daughter; I'm certain she will love it as much as I do. I was glad to discover that it has other fans as well. If you've never seen the movie version, do yourself a favor and check it out!
karian333 I loved the movie Bagdad Cafe with CCH Pounder and really liked the little I saw of the TV series with Jean Stapleton and Whoopi Goldberg. I would love to have those original TV episodes. I think there were 15 episodes. Does anyone know where I could get them? I read where there was one full season and part of a second season. There were 13 episodes shown here in the States and I saw on one website that there were 2 more shown in England. If anyone knows where I might be able to locate these 15 episodes, I would be very grateful. The theme song for the TV series was the same as in the movie. It was very haunting and very beautiful.
