  Which was itself (very loosely) based on the real-life story of the guy who lived in Charles de Gaulle airport for many years: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mehran_Karimi_Nasseri https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mehran_Karimi_Nasseri I saw him there once in 2005.

    he lived there almost 18 years - incredible

      What about this 18 stay in an airport is incredible? Incredibly sad perhaps. From reading the Wikipedia he seemed to be quite stubborn as both Belgium and France offered residency, but for whatever reason he wanted to go to Britain?

        as in "too extraordinary and improbable to be believed". Incredible that he was allowed to go along like this so long

        More than that, he refused to acknowledge his legal name when he was granted access. It's quite a strange story.

  Great movie! "Medicine for goat" is one of my favorite movie quotes (seems I have a thing for goats hm). To the extent that I eventually booked a stay at the Ramada Inn that has a central role in the film. The hotel was fine, and the movie reference gilded the stay. </Personal anecdotes>
