If you live in Los Angeles, you may have seen the Quality Cafe once or twice -- and if you own a television, you've probably seen it hundreds of times. Seriously, the same place has been featured in a ton of TV shows and movies:
Gary Sinise investigated a crime that was committed inside the Quality Cafe in an episode of CSI NEW YORK even though Los Angeles is a little outside a New York cop's jurisdiction:
The Quality Cafe doesn't even function as a real diner anymore. It stopped serving meals in 2006, but it's been doing pretty well for itself as a film location over the past few decades, as demonstrated bythis two-and-a-half-minute mashup video of different scenes shot there. For example, here's Hilary Swank taking some advice and/or exposition from Morgan Freeman in MILLION DOLLAR BABY:
Here's Morgan Freeman talking to Gwyneth Paltrow about Brad Pitt in Se7en:
And here's Brad Pitt discussing some serious stuff with ... Vince Vaughn in Mr. and Mrs. Smith:
Meanwhile, here are Scarlett Johansson and Thora Birch making fun of Steve Buscemi's face in GHOST WORLD:
And here's Tom Hanks looking exasperated in the same booth in Catch Me if You Can:
How about a bleached Nicolas Cage staring at a lady in Gone in 60 Seconds? Sure thing, we got that, too:
