Movie you associate with eating most

Il buono, Il bruto e il cattivo

And, of course, there is a great "eating scene" (although not realted to meals) in When Harry met Sally. It´s all about the salad

I haven't really ever associated Moonstruck with eating,although the steak Loretta made for Ronny looked good if it were more cooked through!(especially with mushrooms and onions). More along the lines for me are the smells of the food.An Italian kitchen always smells good for some reason-I equate it with all the yummy stuff my grandma cooked for us when she was alive. Even when nothing was cooking,it smelled like there was,(if that makes any sense?!)

Some other food/cooking/eating movies I've enjoyed:

Soul Food: the dinner scenes made me hungry for fried chicken,mac-n-cheese,greens,etc. Can't watch it on an empty stomach!

What's Eating Gilbert Grape: the birthday cake scene,and anytime the mother chowed down,I ran to the fridge!

Disorderlies: The old-school Fat Boys movie from the 80's. They actually raid a refrigerator filled with cakes,and have no regrets!

Hush: There's a scene where the mother-in-law bakes a huge cherry cheesecake for her daughter-in-law. Looks so delicious,even though it is laced with poison.

"In time you'll drop dead and I'll come to your funeral in a red dress!"
Moonstruck

Yummy, yummy and a million times yummy! I had never seen the fried egg in the middle of bread thing either until I went to Greece to visit my family and my aunt cooked it for me. I tried to make it once I got back to the states, but for some reason, it doesnt taste the same.

this is going to sound really stupid.

the scene in Hook where the lost boys and robin williams have to imagine what food is there. before all the paint and whatnot is in their bowls, and there's just this huge feast. that's the food scene that gets to me. or at least it did when i was a child. now it doesn't look quite so appetising. does anyone else get that?

Babette's Feast...I'm hungry now just thinking about it.

Though Moonstruck isn't a 'foodie' film and doesn't focus on the culinary arts and gustatory pleasures in the way that many of the other films cited do (e.g. Babette's Feast, Big Night, Mostly Martha), I do agree that that the brief shot of the Egg in a Bird's Nest does leave an impression and a craving. Another film that is not strictly a foodie film but has a couple of tantalizing food shots is Amadeus.

In Amadeus my three favorite food scenes are: (1) at the very opening when Salieri's servants try to coax him from his locked room by dipping pastries into cream and eating them loudly; (2) the scene at the Archbishop's palace where Salieri first meets Mozart and Salieri samples a gooey chocolate from a sumptuous table of desserts; and (3) the scene where Constanze secretly visits Salieri to plead for a tutoring post for her husband and Salieri entertains her with sugared chestnuts called "Nipples of Venus." This last dish unfortunately was made up for the film; according to the director's commentary, they were made entirely from marzipan. However, Constanze and Salieri seem to enjoy the dessert so much that I have seen various web sites which attempt to emulate the dish with real chestnuts, sugar, and brandy.

i had to make that fried egg in the slice of italion bread when i first saw this movie it looked so good and it was.

not a movie but......the sopranos totally makes me want to eat. there's food in so many scenes, it all looks great.
