Miracle Mile

When Harry lands on the road from the moving van.

Before he lands on the ground, his glasses are already on the road and broken.

When Harry returns to the diner, after the phone call in the phone ball.

There's an reflection of the boom on the window.

When Harry gets everyone intention in the diner.

On the phone in the booth when Chip told Harry the code to nuclear war, he said that the code was, "Thor Arthur 66ZZD.

" In the diner when Landa asked Harry to repeat the conversation, he said the code was, "Thor Arthur 66"DD"Z".

That waitress at the restaurant tells Harry that Julie is in the 351 building on Fuller, but Harry goes to 535 S Curson.

When Harry places the unconscious Julie in some random shopping cart you can clearly see that a pillow had been strategically placed to make the actress' back comfy.

When he pulls her out again at the end of the ride you can see more pillows had been placed under her rear so as to make a totally comfy little nest.

This film has a B movie vibe and a very contrived premise, but even as I was puzzling over questionable character motivations early on, its brisk pace and my wondering what was really going kept me interested. As the film plays out it goes to some pretty dark places which I loved about it, and I have to say, I didn't see that fantastic ending coming.

Major pacing (and logic) problems. The end of the world is minutes away, but the hero (and heroine) spend lots of time running hither and yon, and worse, frequently stop dead for lengthy baby talk heart-to-hearts.

Enjoyed it greatly! It's a sort of period piece, with dated production sensibilities.

...at least for this wizened ol' film buff, "Miracle Mile" seems to be woefully under-seen by IMDbers, which is a shame.

This gut wrenching, horrific story sort of sneaks up on you, due to writer & director Steve De Jarnatt. It starts out pretty lighthearted, the tale of a 30 year old jazz musician, Harry Washello (Anthony Edwards), who believes that he may have finally found true love with diner waitress Julie Peters (Mare Winningham).

OK. So maybe this movie isn't exactly all that realistic.

There's so much going on here behind the plot. This isn't just a film about the end of the world.

Was it all a dream?What's so great about this movie is the most logical explanation for what occurs is that Harry is simply having a nightmare.

This movie divides reviewers so much, signalling it as one to watch. I thought it was friggen great.
