Dinner from a movie: The $125 gift card from Geisha House

As posted Monday, I'm looking for the best and/or worst food movies and/or scenes. The best answer gets a $125 gift card from Geisha House.

There's about 30 comments so far and there's some great ones, including some "Huh?" surprises like "Uncle Buck" and "Rocky."

However, how could no one have mentioned "Beetlejuice"? (Other than the fact that I forgot it, too. Thanks, Sunita.) To jar our memories, then:

I'm taking entries through the weekend, with the winner to come Monday.

Gotta go with the restaurant scene in 'Defending Your Life'. Having that kind of freedom to eat what I want and however much I want would indeed be heaven. Albert Brooks is hilarious in how embarassed he is by Meryl Streep slurping the noodles. Here's the YouTube URL: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=igiJy7Yw_Zw

How about the scene in The Blues Brothers when they go to the snooty French Restaurant, Chez Paul?

The guys slurping 1971 Dom Perignon. Ackroyd tossing whole shrimp into Belushi's mouth. Pee Wee Herman's cameo as a waiter.

So many memorable quotes: Waiter - aghast - "Wrong glass, sir!" Ackroyd, mouth full, motions 'fill it up anyway'.

Belushi "How much for zee leetle girl? The women -- how much for the women. I want to buy them. Sell them to me!"

"THE FRESHMAN" contains a smorgasbord of Don Brando blended with a pinch of Ferris Broderick to give a spicy criminal finale while preserving the exotic flavor of truth and justice.

tampopo (food and sex and death and life)-the ramen master scene is one of the best scenes about food period...
indiana jones
eat drink man woman (ang lee amazingness)
stephen chows "god of cookery" kung fu cooking flick.

I like "Eat, Drink, Man, Woman" where the grandfather makes the fancy lunch for the grandaughter to take to school. So delicious and such a wonderful expression of how the Chinese express their love.

- The stacked bob: This is very popular hair cut for girls and it works on all hair types. The style is layered to make a partial wedge in the back and expose the nape of the neck.
