Movie you associate with eating most


Like most people that visit this site, I just finished watching Moonstruck again and it prompted me to go to IMDB to see what kinds of topics were being discussed.

I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one that is borderline obsessed with the eating scenes of the movie. Everything looks so good, especially the bread with egg in the middle.

I started thinking about other movies that had memorable scenes involving food. (Some might be a bit obscure)

Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (the scene where they enter at the beginning and start tearing into the candy)
Fatso (Dom DeLuise dunking a piece of bread in sauce at his cousin's wake)
The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes' Smarter Brother (Gene Wilder eats and entire box of rich chocolates to hide the fact he knocked them to the floor)
Monty Pythons the Meaning of Life (Man literally explodes from eating one mint too much)

And for honorable mention, two Little Rascals episodes (don't know titles), the first dealing with Valentines Day and Spanky switching out a cheese sandwich and cream puff with sliced and liquid soap that Alfalfa eats, and an episode that they go camping and forget to bring food, but Spanky and Scotty have the thickest jelly sandwiches I have ever seen!

Boy, I must have too much time on my hands! I'd be interested to hear scenes that anyone else recalls,

Soul Food! The ending of that movie ALWAYS makes me hungry!

Like others on this thread, Big Night was the obvious first choice for me, but a couple of other somewhat forgotten movies that were not mentioned yet that have spoken to the foodie in me are 1986's very funny Heartburn with Meryl Streep and Jack Nicholson, and 2000's Woman on Top with Penelope Cruz as a Brazilian Chef

Big Night and after reading everyone else's posts; Goodfellas. Too bad Maury never got to get danish for Belle at the diner.

"Eat, Drink, Man, Woman"
"Big Night"
"The Godfather"
"Tortilla Soup"
"Soul Food"
"Chocolat" and, my favorite:
"Like Water for Chocolate" one of the most beautiful films ever made.

The movie "Michael" with John Travolta and Andie McDowell where they go to a restaurant and order all the various flavors of pie.

"Waitress" -- again for the pies! Yummy

Eat Pray Love - when she's in Italy. YUMMY!

Two movies immediately occur to me:

Under the Tuscan Sun - the movie that added visiting Tuscany and taking lessons in Italian cooking to my bucket list, and;

Fried Green Tomatoes - Southern soul/comfort food at its best. The food fight scene was pretty funny too :)

If you can't be a good example, then you'll just have to be a horrible warning

Under the Tuscan Sun
Soul Food
Eat Pray Love

The only thing needed for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing.
