The Stranger (Seattle, WA)

They all work at a surreal restaurant that sports a giant Salvador Dalí clock and makes its waitstaff wear uniforms made of silver lamé. It's got, dare I say, A Fish Called Wanda vibes, but without the English slapstick comedy.

A unique movie. When it seems that Hollywood can't come up with an original idea, something like this comes along. It is silly and brilliant.

I'm not sure what to say...it's just utter, utter shite. Sorry but holy crap it's horrendous. I can't even be bothered to explain why, just take my word for it, I'm doing you a favour.

An charmingly odd romantic comedy with fantastic performances and quirky dialogue ("I thought that rabbit was eating your head!"). Combining intruigue, romance and comedy, this film succeeds best when it satirizes the trendy NYC restaurant scene. Also, there are several in-jokes peppered throughout the production which will please fans of the various cast members (and, of course, David Bowie - who looks more comfortable here than in any previous roles). Track this one down - it's a lost gem.

Flat in some areas, funny in others, yet surprisingly out of date 90's film that looks worse than a 70's out of date movie! Worth a look all the same.
