Isn’t it in Fellini’s Roma where the young man walks through the piazza and there is a huge terrace restaurant where everyone is eating spaghetti? And The Big Chill with the mayo on Wonder bread. “You haven’t even touched your food.” (Touches food.) “There. Creosote from Monty Python’s The Meaning of Life.

The movie is meh, but that scene is great. And I feel like Marie Antoinette should be in here somewhere for all those decadent pastries, but I can only really remember seeing them, not an actual scene. The butter scene in The Women, when Meg Ryan dips an entire stick of butter into sugar and eats it just like that. Baking a solo cupcake and the total destruction of the massive heart cookie at the bridal shower in Bridesmaids.

In Waitress, the making of all the different pies with fantastic names like “Bad Baby Pie.” Forgetting Sarah Marshall and the massive bowls of cereal he eats throughout the film when he’s alone. Must Love Dogs and arguing with the butcher over ordering a single chicken breast. The turkey disaster scene in A Christmas Story. Meryl Streep chopping all those onions as Julia in Julie and Julia.Įdward Scissorhands when he tries to eat peas with his hands. The scene from A Christmas Story when Ralphie’s little brother eats his mashed potatoes like a little piggy. The diner scene in Groundhog Day when Bill Murray stuffs a large slice of cake in his mouth, looks at Andie MacDowell, and says, “What?”Ī Christmas Story and the Chinese Christmas dinner. The Silence of the Lambs, the scene in which he says he’ll have the guy’s liver with a nice chianti. The scene in Like Water for Chocolate when everyone starts falling in love-oh, and the scene with the farts. The chocolate tasting scene in Romantics Anonymous. The completely silent last scene in Big Night and the making of humble eggs.Īnimal House, when John Belushi says, “Guess what I am!” and puts mashed potatoes in his mouth and then blasts them out by smacking his hands against both sides of his face. Kevin Kline eating Michael Palin’s fish in A Fish Called Wanda. No other movie food scene has evoked as much emotion for me. It reminds me of Taiwan and how much I miss the food there. The most memorable scene for me is the opening sequence in Eat Drink Man Woman.

All that’s left is to pour yourself some bubbly, settle down, and raise a glass with us. (Mind you, we said “memorable,” not “award-winning,” though some of them are that, too.) No need to ever again wonder what next to put in your Netflix queue. Without further ado, here are all the most memorable food scenes in movies we could muster. More than anything, though, you’re the sort of souls who, like us, appreciate the countless everyday ways in which food intersects life. Not just in terms of their numbers and diversity, but in what they revealed about you. In fact, we gotta say, your responses astounded us. In the spirit of Oscars week, we tapped into your collective movie memories, requesting the most memorable moments in film that pertain to food. We’re talking touching, witty, outrageous, or otherwise unforgettable food-minded moments. That one scene in, well, you get the idea. Every single scene with Meryl Streep-and Stanley Tucci, too-in Julie & Julia.

For those food scenes in movies that you just can’t get out of your mind. Not just for any moving pictures, though. The Oscars tend to make us sorta nostalgic. But we find them just as heartening and, at times, hilarious as we did then.
