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,

I tend to fixate on eating scenes anyway… but especially when it comes to Italian food.

Babette's Feast!

I did it for me. I liked it. I was good at it. And... I was... really... I was alive.

"Chocolat"
The Hundred Foot Journey"

I could be a morning person if morning happened at noon.

Kramer vs. Kramer is another movie that causes me to all of a sudden crave french toast!

Several people have mentioned Big Night which is the first movie that came to my mind when I saw the OP's topic. I love Stanley Tucci in that film!

Another that comes to mind is Diner from 1982. There are several food scenes in the diner (obviously): French fries with gravy, the roast beef sandwich discussion between Steve Guttenberg and Paul Riser (hilarious), and lastly, Tank eating every menu item on the left side of the menu (including the fried chicken dinner). :)
