It's a Jim Jarmusch film, so it's not for everyone, but it's fun viewing. As with some Jarmusch films, Mystery Train is a series of vignettes- in this case involving the employees and guests of a rundown hotel in Memphis. If you expect this film to go anywhere, you will be disappointed. Just turn it on and watch.

TCM is airing this film at 3:45 AM tonight err tomorrow, whatever.

A blast from the past. Haven't seen or heard this name in years, a long time. I saw Stranger in Paradise and Down By Law in the 80s, then nothing from him, even on video. I will record Mystery Train, thanks for the heads up.

Enjoyed it. Very unusual.
