I almost forgot- probably my favorite: a quirky gem of an English language German-made film called Bagdad Cafe (1987), set & filmed in the Mojave Desert
of CA at a real* remote truck stop, with a few actors you know but maybe don't think of in comedy, Jack Palance & CCH Pounder. A mix actually of comedy
-drama, but funny & super original. (*Newberry Springs, CA)

Here's the gist of it from Wiki-
German tourist Jasmin Munchgstettner (Marianne Sägebrecht) argues with her husband after car trouble strands them along a dusty highway in the American Southwest. Fuming, she storms off and travels by foot to the nearest outpost of civilization -- the Bagdad Café. Upon arriving, she butts heads with the owner (CCH Pounder), but they soon forge an unlikely friendship. What begins as a few days' respite becomes a prolonged stay as Jasmine finds her niche within this eccentric truck-stop community.
