Well for starters , how about the dining scene in Tom Jones?

Another dining scene, tho I do not know if it is top 10 worthy is the
first dinner in a movie called "The Last Supper"

The eating scene in Tom Jones wins hands down, followed by, in no particular
order:
Babette's Feast.
Lamb and cherries in Le Boucher.
Eat Drink Man Woman (cooking, anyway)
The meal from hell in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom
The perpetually interrupted dinner in Discreet Charm of the Bourgeosie
The diner scene in When Harry Met Sally
My Dinner with Andre (of course)
The glass of lemonade in Lawrence of Arabia (does that count?)
....having a hard time picking a tenth.

"Eating Raoul" and "Babette's Feast" and "Hello Dolly" and
"Ratatouille" - mostly the kitchen scenes with the rats.
But yes, Tom Jones is the best. Also good is Barbra Streisand in "On
a Clear Day You Can See Forever" but all she really does is drink one
glass of wine and chew on her pearls>

Good call! But I think my number 10 might be the seduction dinner with Omar
Sharif in Funny Girl.

Apart from the Tome Jones scene that everyone will mention

two of my favourites are
Ron Moody when he is famished and ends up at a banquet in the movie
the 12 Chairs
Blues Brothers where they threaten the maitre D that they will eat
there every night etc (throwing prawns at Belushi like he is a
seal )
Dirty rotten scoundrels with Ruprecht and the lady "why is there a
cork on his fork "? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7P5qJAI9BIc
Stripes cooking the Aunt jemima way http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-hOhhgrM3bs

So now Gaza is crossposting to the cooking group too. Is there no
group sacred?

A favorite dining scene of mine was from The Birdcage. And Fargo
probably had more eating scenes or references to eating than any other
movie I've ever seen.

I haven't seen the movie, but wasn't there at least one infamous
restaurant scene in "Shampoo"? (surprised no one has mentioned it yet)

How about "Pulp Fiction".

Setup with the discussion about a hamburger with cheese in the car, then
the eat scene in the apartment of the guy's Hawaiian burger & shake, and
the conversation....

Here's a link to jog your memory if you watched it...

Some guy in a silent mooie eats his shoelaces as if they were
spaghetti. The same guy is force fed by an automated feeding machine
in another of his mooies. His mooies were funny. Almost as funny as
"mooie".

Monty Python's The Meaning of Life, Terry Jones and Terry Gilliam
(1983). Is there anyone who hasn't already guessed which scene I've
chosen from this movie? It is, naturally, the one in which the grossly
overweight Mr. Creosote (Terry Jones) eats himself to death in a very
formal and rather snobbish restaurant. After consuming a huge amount
of food and literally inflating with each successive course, he is
reluctantly tempted by the waiter (John Cleese) to consume one last
tidbit. This proves too much for Mr. Creosote, who explodes
(literally), showering the restaurant and other diners with half-
digested French cuisine, a sort of culinary version of John Hurt
giving birth in Alien. Python sketches are always gloriously silly,
but that silliness is generally used to make a point. The point here
seems to be not just the gluttony of one person, but the fanatical
addiction to consumerism—and the vulnerability to incessant
inducements to comsume more, more, more—of Western culture. The scene
is an illustration of suicide by overconsumption. Whether you find it
funny or offensive, once you've seen it, you are not likely to forget
it anytime soon.

I just watched the Mr. Creosote sketch on Youtube. I think it might be

"91/2 Weeks" comes to mind....also, Nureyev's "Valentino". There's an

suicide when Rudy died.
The Tango following his leaping onto a dining table laden with dishes

"Home fo the Holkidays" has a great Tanksgiving dinner scene.

I wondered how long it would take before someone mentioned Mr. Creosote.

A real classic comes at breakfast, when Cagney squishes a grapefruit on
Mae Clark's face in "The Public Enemy" (1931).

Well somebody has to mention young Michael perforating Sollozzo and

A memorable, in that I couldn't forget it even if I wanted, is the
final scene in The Cook, the Thief, His Wife, and Her Lover.

How about in _Rocky Horror Picture Show_ when Dr. Frankenfurter carved
the meatloaf?

LOL That was my first thought.

But on a more serious note..... I would suggest "Babette's Feast".

I vote for the restaurant scene in "Splash" where Madison, the mermaid
(Daryl Hannah), is showing Tom Hanks how her people eat lobster.

And the movie was "Meaning of Life" by Monty Python. It won a Cannes film

Was it the movie "Shampoo" where someone got a little something special
under the table in a restaurant one evening?

I changed the title so that I don't look like a troll.


How about when the lead character got hungry in O Lucky Man! ?
