Diner is a movie that gets it right. This is how guys and their buddies grow up. Talking BS in our favorite greasy spoon, getting mad over a sandwich and cruising the night away with the car top down. God, how I miss those days.
I grew up on Long Island where late night diner culture is rampant. The diner depicted in this scene was spot on. You hear the clicking sound of dishes in the background. The entrance to the kitchen with customers sitting on the long table was so realistic.
The movie executive insist that Levinson cut this scene because he couldn't understand the point of it. Levinson said the sandwich scene IS the whole point of the movie.
They referenced this scene in Stranger Things when Dr. Owens (Paul Reiser) says he can't possibly eat his whole sandwich and tries to give some to Hopper. At the end of season two. It is CLEARLY a roast beef sandwich. I nearly fell off my chair with happiness.
@@jakeichord Yes! Also another Movie about Friendship was The Lords Of Flatbush from 1974 that Henry Winkler, Sylvester Stallone and Perry King would do before Happy Days, Rocky & Rambo as well as Miniseries like I'll Take Manhattan and The Last Convertible. Richard Gere got fired as Butchey and Henry Winkler replaced him and he went to the UK to play Danny Zuko in Grease in 1973. Olivia Newton-John saw it not knowing how much it would change her life. May she rest in peace.
I still see things I didn’t before which is what I love about this film - just now, I caught Kevin Bacon saying ‘I do’ off-camera and Stern gives him a look. Always missed that because of Guttenberg’s great rant.
According to a documentary on the film, Pauline Kael also gave a rave review at a time when MGM wasn't even sure they were going to release it and shamed them about this film they had collecting dust on their shelf.
The conversation about the sandwich - I had that same conversation a thousand times with my ex. She'd never ask or even admit she'd want what was on my plate, just pester me.
Then Eddie does exactly the same thing as Modell when he says he doesn't want the sandwich any more! Genius, I read somewhere a lot of it was improvised, just the guys hanging out in the diner. Movies have changed a lot. Idris Elba made a comment on his hot wings episode that movies have changed since reality tv took a lot of the people looking for emotional engagement with what we watch. "All is true", the Shakespeare movie was a standout.
I don’t own any credit cards… so how do I watch a movie I’ve never seen but heard about for a third of my hard working life? But thanks for letting me see tiny snippets!
I don't think we ever find out what Modell's first name is. He's just Modell. You can see he gets some kind of sadistic satisfaction out of agitating Eddie when he's eating, and you can see it works every time.
I think that one time or another we've been in situations where someone has "leeched" off of us and they don't think they are doing anything wrong. I once yelled at My Cousin or doing that going so far as to say "If you ain't got no money keep your broke @ss home!" She never did it with anyone else, just me, and I got very angry about it, and then I was made to feel that I was the bad guy. She was so bad at money management that's why she was always broke. Because I was so generous in the past, they were surprised that I said "No!" and not feel guilty. As for the Fries & Gravy it was a classic with the Old School Degrassi. When I read the book about Shane McKay's Character, he would play Basketball with Snake, Luke, & BLT. They would go for Fries & Gravy but they would never invite him.
That was actually Billy's (the guy back from college, played by Timothy Daly) threat to the annoying guy in the jail (where they all ended up after Fenwick ran amok in the creche). When I first saw this movie, that line had me laughing my ass off. You may be thinking of the scene where Boogie knocks down Tank, and Fenwick says, "smile of the week!" (or some such thing) At least I haven't seen this movie as many times as "Methan" saw "The Sweet Smell of Success." (I don't have every line memorized.)
I'm more a religious seducer...park on a lonely dirt road...Say Baby do you believe in the Hereafter ?? The hereafter ?? Yeah...if you ain't here after what I'm here after you'll be standing here after I'm gone.
By today's standards, Eddie would have said to Modell "Don't you have any Money to eat, and if you don't why do you go out, another thing too I am sick of you leeching off of me, enough is enough, you know I'm getting Married and I'm really going to have to watch The Dollars."
I started watching this movie last night and when I got to this scene it became clear to me that this whole film was going to be dull and uniformly unfunny. Maybe it's my millennial sensibility, but I can't understand why anyone would like this.
Erik Derek - Your "millennial sensibility"? You lack sensibility if you can't figure out why this is a funny movie. I suppose you don't hang out with friends and have goofy conversations and look for stuff to do because you're bored. This is what this movie is all about. Some people appreciate comedy that does not come out and beat you over the head (metaphorically speaking). You probably think the same way about The Big Lebowski, which is possibly the funniest movie ever made. Tell me you understand why people like The Big Lebowski, and I will be assured that there is still hope for you.
I dated a man who revealed he hated this movie...I dumped him.
A wise decision. I cannot fathom how anyone can hate this movie.
Ingrid............. I love this movie.
I completely understand why. For some men it's not easy to have a mirror show them how silly their behavior can really be.
I didn’t understand it. It was just dudes bickering the whole time.
My in-laws grew up in this world. Forest Park. Great great stories. Great people. Baltimore’s best.

you know that and i know that. it's lost on many people.
If you wanted to know where Seinfeld came from... you just found it.
Swingers has some of that feel too.
or clerks or reservoir dogs
Yes, has this Jewish humor. Paul Reiser and Steve Gutenberg are Jewish as is the director Barry Levinson
It's just New York Jewish humor. When Harry Met Sally also has the same style.
This is nothing like Seinfeld

ketchup bottles turned end on end. guy eating sugar...smoking...
The movie was the most underrated movie of it's time ! It's pure genius ! Epic cast ! Seriously not too many movies had this caliber of actors in it.
Nobody messes with a man's roast beef sandwich. Also adore that line "Fuck or fight." One of my favorite films right here.
The movie executive insist that Levinson cut this scene because he couldn't understand the point of it. Levinson said the sandwich scene IS the whole point of the movie.
Yes it is.
By also is the last scene.
The bouquet tells all.
@@ingriddubbel8468 - That bouquet landing was a great touch. (for those who haven't seen the movie, I will say no more)
Every time I see this scene in the movie, I have to pause it cuz I'm laughing too hard.
@@MkeKen67 That music note landing right when the bouquet lands brings a smile to my face

I didn't remember it from season 2 but saw it when he's with El in the diner .
@@dfangirl72 It's when he gives Hopper the birth certificate making Hopper her dad.
YES! YES! YES! Thanks for posting this. My wife had no idea why I got so happy while watching that ST scene. It simply HAS to be a Diner reference...
I always order gravy fries ever since i first watched this film hahaha
One cannot truly call oneself a man until he has seen Diner and can appreciate all its greatness.
I watch it almost every year around Xmas time. It's a x-mas movie, you know.
@@jakeichord Never thought of it. Hey, if Die Hard is a Christmas movie, then so is Diner.
@@jakeichord Yes! Also another Movie about Friendship was The Lords Of Flatbush from 1974 that Henry Winkler, Sylvester Stallone and Perry King would do before Happy Days, Rocky & Rambo as well as Miniseries like I'll Take Manhattan and The Last Convertible.

Watched this for the first time last nite, it was absolutely fantastic.
I still see things I didn’t before which is what I love about this film - just now, I caught Kevin Bacon saying ‘I do’ off-camera and Stern gives him a look. Always missed that because of Guttenberg’s great rant.
"You know what your problem is? You don't chew your food................................"
This scene is perfect.
Agreed.
Guttenberg grew up on Long Island, so he knew diner talk.
Siskel and Ebert more or less saved this great movie from obscurity.
According to a documentary on the film, Pauline Kael also gave a rave review at a time when MGM wasn't even sure they were going to release it and shamed them about this film they had collecting dust on their shelf.
Some people don't know a great thing when they have it.
Underrated film, probably the best film of the year,
No way in hell is this a better movie than Blade Runner, First Blood, or Conan the Barbarian.
1982 was great year in film.
you have roast beef in your heart
Yeah, and remember how Double J in Saturday Night Fever teased Tony for liking White Castle Burgers.
He was only criticizing him about how he ate.
And what's wrong with that?
Popcorn scene rocks!
The conversation about the sandwich - I had that same conversation a thousand times with my ex. She'd never ask or even admit she'd want what was on my plate, just pester me.
ROGER2095 did you or she break with you

One of my favorite scenes in the movie. Thanks for uploading it.
This movie is in my top 10 of all time.
I'm gonna eat the sandwitch, don't ask if I'm gonna eat the sandwitch.
There is no more late night diner culture since they close at 10 now
d i n e r w a v e
I love this movie!
Just love this scene 🥪🤣
Diner is a great .movie.
The way I grew up in the 50’s
*I* WANT THAT BLOODY SANDWICH!!!!!!!!!
2 good 2 ever be 4 gotten.
Great Flick Love the Diner scenes! ...Tinmen is good too another Barry Levinson offering
love tinmen
Tin Men makes an awesome second movie in the Baltimore trilogy. Lots of great conversations in that one, too.
Awesome movie.
You KNOW he wants it.
I don’t own any credit cards… so how do I watch a movie I’ve never seen but heard about for a third of my hard working life? But thanks for letting me see tiny snippets!
You notice they're all wearing ties..
we need to get back there
Sure could go for some fries 'n' gravy 'bout now..
You’re on my uh...list.
Great stuff this is good stuff😂
I don't think we ever find out what Modell's first name is. He's just Modell.
You can see he gets some kind of sadistic satisfaction out of agitating Eddie when he's eating, and you can see it works every time.
Before I die, I will name a pet Model
She'll be 12...
And he'll be in jail...
Does any know what the movie is playing in the scene in the television station when Billy and Barbara are talking in the booth?
The Journey (1959) ttp://www.imdb.com/title/tt0052950/?ref_=nv_sr_7
Don't touch my records!
same waitress as in the movie Tin Men!
1:57
Great conversation
Lol.🤣 Its just a sandwich
Daniel stern 🥰🙈
What about Johnnie Ray?
Which movie
Modell left the diner determined to get exclusive rights on the xenomorph.
🎯
What's the name of this movie
Where is Mickey Rouke in this movie 🎥
David lindhagen from crazy stupid love 🤦♂️🤣🤪
Sandwich sabotage
Guttenberg reminds me a bit of that seth rogen here
Who ARE these People?
Name of Diner?
funny
This is Tarantino, before Tarantino.😆
Is there a 59 cadillac in this
Yes. Bagel has a 59 Cadillac convertible...it's in one scene @ the middle of the movie
Days when Steve Guttenberg looks like Steve we all know and love to watch.Today he look like Kevin Spacey which is totally weird!!
I think that one time or another we've been in situations where someone has "leeched" off of us and they don't think they are doing anything wrong.

where the alien?
Never had fries and gravy. Didnt know it was a thing. And im 38
It's a Baltimore specialty.
Here in Canada, fries and gravy are popular. I never have my fries any other way! Yum!
@@donnaleach8119 it sounds good.
So odd to see that people used to dress up to go everywhere.
What is this movie?
Diner
最近食わないわね
this scene was in stranger things .he and El are sitting at diner he asks for club sandwich .
I miss the scene with the fight outside. I'll hit you so hard I'll kill your whole family" . God that's a great line.
That was actually Billy's (the guy back from college, played by Timothy Daly) threat to the annoying guy in the jail (where they all ended up after Fenwick ran amok in the creche). When I first saw this movie, that line had me laughing my ass off.

Young Clark Kent.
The
End
this scene's like - oh, btw, did we mention....MICKEY ROURKE?
Sinatras better.... :(
I kind of think so.
As far as popularity he is, but vocally Mathis is number 1
Presley
Bobby Darin
By today's standards, Eddie would have said to Modell "Don't you have any Money to eat, and if you don't why do you go out, another thing too I am sick of you leeching off of me, enough is enough, you know I'm getting Married and I'm really going to have to watch The Dollars."
Tried watching this movie twice. Confirmed, it sucked. My wife was shocked to hear it was supposed to be a comedy. Good actors later on , but…wow!
Why are you here?
I didn't care for it either. It's too Jewish. I couldn't relate to it.
I started watching this movie last night and when I got to this scene it became clear to me that this whole film was going to be dull and uniformly unfunny. Maybe it's my millennial sensibility, but I can't understand why anyone would like this.
Erik Beck how old are you?
Then stick to the usual unfunny fucking 1990s to 2000s fucking bollocks then.
Yeah, there's no CGI battle scenes in it.
Erik Derek - Your "millennial sensibility"? You lack sensibility if you can't figure out why this is a funny movie.
