I never saw it but I heard it was a brilliant movie.... I think it came out in the early '80's... but Reiser and Bacon weren't unknowns... Reiser was in Beverly Hills Cop and Bacon was in Footloose...

i believe beverly hills came out a couple of years after diner. same thing with footloose. at the time of diner, these guys were fairly new actors. other newcomers in diner were steve guttenberg, ...

When was Diner released? I thought it was '84?
