Movie meals and snacks I would like to sink my teeth into

- The dîner français from BABETTE'S FEAST - Bring on the caille en sarcophage. And don't forget that bottle of Clôs Vougeot.
- Big pancake from UNKLE BUCK - It looks so fluffy. It looks so flat. It's a breakfast conundrum. Pass the syrup!
- Bill Murray' Tip-Top Café pig out in GROUNDHOG DAY - To be able to eat all that good stuff and not gain an once because everyday is the same old suicide-inducing day? I'm SO getting a piece of that one!
- EAT, DRINK, MAN, WOMAN: father's Chinese Sunday dinner - Just watching the father prepare the meal makes me slobber all over my chopsticks.
- ROBOCOP'S baby formula - If eating half a cup of mashed veal roast and sweet potato is all I have to do to get my hands on some hot MAN-BOT, then I guess that's what I'll have to do!
- GOODFELLAS' Italian meal, prison-style - I can't even slice garlic without thinking about it.
- ROSEMARY'S BABY overcooked meat and mystery pastry (not that I would really want to eat this, but watching Ruth Gordon inhale that cake just cracks me up so much)
Great list! There's also a certain somebody's (not to give anything away) chocolate pig-out in Chocolat. Mmmmmm.... Chocolate...
Oh yes CHOCOLAT! I'd also love to taste those shrimp with cocoa sauce they serve towards the end. Sounds soooo good... *dribbles on her keyboard*
Antonio Salieri's sweets, truffles and Nipples of Venus in AMADEUS
A slice from Sal's, hold the extra cheese, in DO THE RIGHT THING.
The 9 1/2 WEEKS all you can eat buffet.
Everything but risotto and spaghetti in BIG Night, especially the timpano.
Everlasting Gobstoppers from WILLY WONKA & THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY followed by a three course meal piece of gum (once they work out the bugs.)
Lobster and some drawn butter in SPLASH.
mmmm, boot. THE GOLD RUSH.
I know that there are some places that don't even serve toast or that allow snails to sneak onto a woman's plate but I know where we can get four whole fried chickens, dry white toast and a coke. I've been to places where you can get monkey brains, drink a glassful of eggs or eat fifty eggs. But what I'm really looking for is something to go with fava beans and a nice chianti. So I've reserved us a table in TOM JONES.
It's wafer thin....
How can this list even exist without the gigantic meal from Big Night?
Agreed. Loved BIG NIGHT from top to bottom. Even the looong egg-making sequence at the end looks good.
I can think of a few dishes from Like Water for Chocolate that get my mouth a-waterin'!
Tom Jones certainly is an interesting contender...
Great list! I caught Eat, Drink on the big screen about a decade ago, and those dishes looked even yummier projected large!
Shalom, y'all!

I never saw Tome Jones (shame!), can you describe what scene you're thinking about?
It is the mother of all lust-for-food = lust-for-sex scenes. Fruit is one of the goodies devoured.
As a bonus, the film is an incredibly fun adaptation of the English episodic novel.
Shalom, y'all!

My friend has it on DVD, I'll be sure to check it out. Thanks !
GOODFELLAS' Italian meal, prison-style - I can't even slice garlic without thinking about it.
Heh heh, totally. I tried to do that once, with the garlic. I hurt myself.
