Lady and the tramp with the spaghetti. So cute.
I would have to say since i'm watching Julie & Julia so favorite food from a movie scene is Julie's (amy) beef bourguignon!
AMAZING!
AND favorite food moment is, hmm. why not i'm already on the subject of meryl streep and Julie & Julia, I guess in the beginning when julia and Paul are in the french resturant and she eats the fish and has Paul try it by eating off of her fork. romantic and mouth watering!!
One of my favorites has got to be the scene in Benny and Joon where Johnny Depp plays with his food- making the rolls feet on forks and having them dance, then the great bit where he switches the plates around on the customers (slowly at first, then faster and faster 'til he's virtually juggling plates of food).
Fabulous.
I'd have to say unveiling the Timpano in Big Night.
I said it once and I'll say it again 'Bride Wars'!

I love the scene in Goodfellas when Paulie (Paul Sorvino)is in jail preparing a spaghetti dinner. He is sitting at a table slicing garlic with a razor.
Oh gosh, hard to decide, but I would have to say the ever-classic scene in When Harry Met Sally..."I'll have what she's having...." gotta love it!
My favorite is in Julie and Julia.....I'm not sure I can pick just one!! I loved all the food in that movie!!
Just about every single scene in Willy Wonka. I've seen that movie about a hundred times and it's still exciting. Imagine candy buttercups in an open field?!
All of the food scenes from "The Devil Wears Prada"... but especially when the steak gets thrown in the sink- how nuts is that?!?
The scene in Coraline, when she is at the other mothers house and there is the "gravy train" and the cake appears and then the milk shake chandelier comes down-how awesome would that be?!
I love the diner scene in "When Harry Met Sally" ... you know the one ;)
I love the gopher scene in Oh, Brother Where Art Thou. I think its hilarious.
My favorite food-in-movie scene is the in the movie "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" when they visit Willy Wonka's chocolate factory, and there are chocolate rivers, edible candy canes, edible mushrooms, gum balls etc everywhere! I absolutely loved that movie and still do. Can't watch it without curling up with a box of candy!

My favorite food in movie scene is in the Little Mermaid where the chef is trying to get Sebastian into the meal :)
My absolute favorite food in a movie scene, is from the film "Hook," featuring Robin Williams. If you remember, Peter (Williams) and the other lost boys sit down to have a meal, but there is no food on the table, that is, until they all believe there is food on the table. Eventually the food begins to appear, and a massive food fight takes place. The food itself looks like a mix between superman ice cream and play-dough, and I always thought it would just be so fun to eat!
Good Will Hunting when Minnie and Matt kiss with their mouths full of burgers.
Like Water for Chocolate. I love the time that she spends cooking and baking and also how the people that eat her dishes react to the food. A wonderful food movie.
I love all the restaurant scenes in When Harry Met Sally because she thinks she's low maintenance but she's really high maintenance and customizes everything on the menu. But the best scene is at the diner ... "I'll have what she's having." Classic.
Oh, that movie with Catherine Zeta-Jones as a chef, I don't know why the name of the movie escapes me...the scene where they cook together with her niece at breakfast. Sad and happy movie. My favorite sweet is still traditional shortbread made with powdered sugar not granulated. The best, just melt in your mouth! HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!!!
definitely all the chocolate making in chocolat...
Well, my favorite is technically a series of moments in the movie When Harry Met Sally. There are several instances in the movie where Sally orders food and it takes about 2 minutes each time because her order is always complicated and "on the side" is a big thing for her. It culminates at the end of the movie when Harry and Sally are talking about their wedding cake, how beautiful it is, and that the chocolate sauce is "on the side" because you don't want the coconut to get mushy!
Mine is from Matilda! I like the part where they were at a restaurant eating lunch and the mother triggered a chain reaction of chaos and a cake landed perfectly on Matilda's plate while another one landed on her brother's head. Also.. when the little boy was forced to eat cake. Let him eat cake!
I think its a tossup between the dogs eating the turkey in "a chrismas story" or i adore the scene in Julie and Julia where Julia Child is shown the fish in the pan and she just goes "butter" lol
I am so a butter freak like that lol
