Diner is a 1982 American comedy-drama written and directed by Barry Levinson. The film is Levinson's screen directing debut, and the first of Levinson's four "Baltimore Films" set in his hometown during the 1940s, '50s, and '60s: Diner (1982), Tin Men (1987), Avalon (1990), and Liberty Heights (1999).
Plot
Set in the northwest section of Baltimore, Maryland, during the last week of 1959, Diner tells the story of a circle of male friends–now in their early twenties–who reunite for the wedding of one of their group. The title refers to the Hilltop Diner that was located at Reisterstown Road and Rogers Avenue, Baltimore, their late-night hangout. However, the Hilltop had been converted into a liquor store, so the location in the film is in the Canton section of Baltimore. An element of the story includes the Baltimore Colts winning the 1959 NFL Championship Game. The semi-autobiographical film explores the changing relationships among these friends as they become adults through what is mostly a series of vignettes rather than a traditional narrative. Levinson encouraged improvisation among his cast to capture realistic camaraderie.
The film that launched successful careers for Kevin Bacon, Ellen Barkin, Paul Reiser, Mickey Rourke and more! It's a lively, poignant tale of friends trying to recapture their lost innocence in 1959 Baltimore.

Sometimes you have to listen with your heart... One Saturday night, midway through an impromptu concert, she notices a customer she hasn't seen before with a look of complete disinterest on his face.

You might have seen one out in Minnesota Or maybe down by the sea in Sarasota. They were made back in Worcester, Mass. Of aluminum, bakelite and glass Like a locomotive, they were streamlined And the blueprints were drawn up from a dream of mine Slap 'em up, put 'em on the train Out to Michigan, up to Maine You may find a diner down in Georgia or Carolina, Off the twenty by the Piggly Wiggly In the country out of Waynesboro When it's getting late and rainy out in New York State You hang a louie off the throughway And you go and grab yourself a cheeseburger At a Little Gem Diner, off six-niner Diner my shiny, shiny love In the night you're all I'm thinking of Diner my shiny, shiny love The cruiser pulls in where the troopers always stop As we dine over the chrome and formica table top The cashier she always squints By the gum and the bowl of mints She's tapping her toe To the Dean Martin on the consolette Booth service and a cigarette We're loving it so Side of fries a dollar Or the haddock plate two ninety-five A rootbeer float, a Pepsi And be sure to save some room for some apple pie Better make it a-la-mode Diner my shiny, shiny love In the night you're all I'm thinking of Diner my shiny, shiny love Dean Martin, God rest his soul Talkin' to me from the cereal bowl There's a couple from the Show-Me State Knockin' back a little meatloaf plate Diner my shiny, shiny love Diner my shiny, shiny love Diner my shiny, shiny, shiny love Chicken and biscuits
