Great food scenes in movies...

[upsidedownwalrus]

I love that film so very much

It's probably one of my top two of all time along with the Truman Show

Quite similar films in many ways. So funny, yet so deep along with it...

 

[upsidedownwalrus]

It's such a ridiculous misrepresentation of India it's untrue

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

I've never got these claims like it's impossible to eat 50 eggs. I'm pretty sure I could manage it.

I saw it proved impossible on a TV show with scientists and stuff. Something to do with the size of a human stomach and something to do with lots of eggs at once.

Same with that John Candy steak eating thing. Impossible.

 

[DaveCinzano]

As good as Cool Hand Luke is, it is beaten ten to the dozen by Ai No Corrida (In The Realm Of The Senses) in the egg-related stakes.

 

[AnnO'Neemus]

I immediately thought of When Harry Met Sally and 9 1/2 Weeks.

Silence of the Lambs, stir fried brain.

 

[AnnO'Neemus]

And what was that funny film where there are two guys who are meat salesmen... ah, here it is:

Grilled: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0409043/

I defy anyone to watch that and not be salivating over the thought of a steak by the time the credits roll. I had to go straight from the cinema to a steakhouse.

 

[joustmaster]

i watched W at the weekend. He eats through out the film.
like wise uncle rico in napoleon dynamite

 

[Melinda]

Rusty eats his way through Oceans 12.

Alive!

 

[Voley]

"Hamburgers! The cornerstone of any nutritious breakfast!"

 

[Clair De Lune]

The scene in Withnail and I where you see the old woman in the greasy spoon spill egg yolk out of her sarnie as she bites it, it revolts me every time but the whole scene is so authentic.

Pulp fiction- five dollar shake

 

[Voley]

There's the Royale With Cheese discussion at the beginning of Pulp Fiction, too. He's a bit obsessed by hamburgers, is Tarantino.

 

[upsidedownwalrus]

Another Ghostbusters bit - where Egon Spengler uses his 'twinkie' (some kind of cake) to demonstrate the levels of supernatural activity

and the chicken sitting on a brick roasting!!




'What is it??'
'Matter!'
'FORK it!!!'

 

[Clair De Lune]

Pan's labyrinth - the food temptation test

Pan's labyrinth - the food temptation test

 

[upsidedownwalrus]

I know it isn't a movie, but the 'antigravity chopsticks' scene in Red Dwarf's 'Legion'.

 

[Clair De Lune]

'FORK it!!!'

You've got soup! Why haven't I got soup?

Coffee!

Why can't you drink coffee out of a cup like a normal human being?

Why can't you wash up occasionally like a normal human being?

Not even the wankers on the site would drink that. That's worse than meths.
Nonsense. This is a far superior drink to meths. The wankers don't drink it because they can't afford it.
Got any more?
No. I have nothing.
Liar. What's in your toolbox.
Nothing.
Liar. You've got antifreeze.
You bloody fool. You should never mix your drinks.

 

[chazegee]

Is it called the blow out, when some disenfranchised French men try and eat themselves to death.

 

[ebay sex moomin]

Does 2 girls 1 cup count as a movie?

er, the closing scene of Pink Flamingoes... mmm, dog poo! nice n' fresh, the way nature intended

 

[dylans]

The scene in The Cook, The Thief where Miranda Richardson asks the cook how he sets the prices for food. The cook explains that he charges a high price for anything black. Caviar, Blackberries etc, because black reminds people of death.

 

[Juice Terry]

Three classic Charlie Chaplin scenes. Two from Gold Rush, the first when he does the bread rolls on forks dance and the other later on when he's starving in the cabin and reduced to eating his boot (apparantly made out of licorace for the scene).

Then there's the genius bit in Modern Times when he's forced to be the guinea pig and try out the automatic lunch feeder that will allow the workers to carry on working while they eat.

 

[upsidedownwalrus]

Another Indy bit, Raiders this time, the poisoned date or plum on the table, indy chucks it in the air and is about to catch it in his mouth, but the other guy catches it in mid air and points to the dea monkey...

 

[Flashman]

The bit in W.S.H (Weird Shit Happens*)when yer man eats a live bairn squid.

Kids eating ice cream - Jurassic Park.










*Anyone remember that? BBC 2 Weird Night c1994, there was W.S.H and the X Files ep with the fire chap (Irish lawyer from BSG) and the Fortean Review of the Year etc. It's on Youtube anyway.

 

[Ozric]

How 'bout some more beans, Mr. Taggart?

Falling Down - "I just want Breakfast"

[Maggot]

Silence of the Lambs, stir fried brain.

That was actually in the sequel - Hannibal

 

[The Groke]

This thread is making me hungry.

 

[geekpenguin]

The scene in One Fine Day where Michelle Pfeiffer takes the kids to Serendipity3 for ice cream. I have since been to Serendipity3 and had a sundae there and can attest to their greatness

One that was good but a tad weird was that ep (yeah, it's TV not a movie, but same principle) from Tales of the Unexpected where the woman kills her husband with a leg of lamb, then she invites to cops to dinner and they eat the evidence...
