Some films are still woefully unmatched:
1. Citizen Kane (US) - Cain 5, Napa, CA - Justin, Justification, Paso Robles, CA - Baco Noir, Henry Pelham 2. The Rules of the Game (FRANCE) - Cabernet Franc, Peller Estates Reserve - 1945 1st-growth Bdx, perhaps? Though come to thing of it its' more a Burgundy type of film. -Chateau Haut Brion 3. 8 ½ (ITALY) -Kracher Nummer 8 und Nummer 9 - Pinot Gris- Hillebrand Estates Harvest 4. Battleship Potemkin (USSR) - Surely only vodka, the cheaper the better, would do for Eisenstein's proletarian masterpiece. 5. Singin' in the Rain (US) - O'Connor Pinot Noir - Trius Brute 2002 6. The Godfather (parts I, II, III) (US) -Niebaum-Coppola Rubicon Proprietary Red Wine 1986 -Niebaum-Coppola Edizione Pennino Zinfandel Estate 1993 7. 2001: A Space Odyssey (US) -Luna Merlot 2001 Magnum. It's a long trip, you'll need a big bottle. 8. Wild Strawberries (SWEDEN) -1990 Bollinger R D 9. The Bicycle Thief (ITALY) - Salice Salentino -Chianti 10. Annie Hall (US) -Braunstein 2002 Oxhoft Chardonnay. To go with the lobster. 11. Delicatessen (FRANCE) 12. Metropolis (GERMANY) - A 1990 Tete de Cuvee Champagne, the choice of many who ushered in the 21st Century. 13. Big Night (US) -Leonetti Cellar Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve 1998 - Gaja Barbaresco 14. Vatel (FRANCE) -This movie was made in France in 2000. So pretty much take your pick: Lafite, Haut Brion, Lafleur, Margaux 15. On the Waterfront (US) -Cold, cheap beer. Stanley Kowalski wouldn't have it any other way. 16. Casablanca (US) - Krug or Bollinger, served with ennui. 17. Like Water for Chocolate (MEXICO) - Monte Xanic Chardonnay. 18. Amadeus (US) -Hogl Loibner Vision Riesling 2003 Smaragd. 19. Lawrence of Arabia (US) - Karl Lawrence Cabernet - Herbal tea. 20. The Cook, The Thief, His Wife and Her Lover (FRANCE/BELGIUM) - Sauternes. To go with the profiteroles. Georgina likes profiteroles. -Feiler-Artinger Welschriesling Ruster Ausbruch 1999 21. The Grapes of Wrath (US) -Thunderbird or Mad Dog 20/20. Tough wines. - Tough, indeed. But with quality showing through a rough exterior. Pick your favorite under-$20 CalCab, I'll go with the '95 or '96 BV Rutherford (the dust is appropriate, too) 22. Ugetsu Monogatari (JAPAN) -Nakada Shuzo Yoroko No Izumi (Daiginjo)N.V. 23. Ben-Hur (US) - Falesco Vitiano 24. My Dinner with Andre (US) - They'd need a wine to contemplate. Cos D'Estournel, perhaps? 25. Un Chien Andalou (FRANCE) -What kind of wine pairs with eyeballs? - Absinthe with an LSD chaser. -Elephant 26. Ribelli Per Caso (Rebels by Chance, ITALY) -Fattoria Galardi Terra di Lavoro 2001. I think it might be the best Italian wine from 2001, the year this movie was made. 27. Seven Samurai (JAPAN) -Shinkame Shuzo Shinkame Funakuchi (Junmaishu) N.V. - Plenty of (hot) sake. 28. Vertigo (US) - Warrabilla Parola's Reserve Durif 02. At 17.5%, it will give anybody vertigo. -Noon's Solaire can be even stronger. - Given the setting (SF), and the period, a mid-century Inglenook or BV Cabernet. 29. Babettes Feast (DENMARK) - 1983 Yquem. 30. Pieces of April (US) -Williams Selyem Pinot Noir 1999 Mendocino -Panther Creek Pinot Noir 1999 Shea Vineyard (both to go with the turkey) 31. Whale Rider (NEW ZEALAND) -Kim Crawford 2004 Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 32. L'Avventura (ITALY) 33. Soylent Green (US) -It's a cracker, but it's also people.....: Heitz Cabernet Sauvignon Martha's Vineyard 1973. 34. Tampopo (JAPAN) -Kirin beer - Green tea, please. Make it gyokuro. 35. Belle du Jour (FRANCE) -Blue Nun 36. Who is Killing the Great Chefs of Europe? ( US) - Chateau Margaux 1948 and Chateau D'Quem 1929. Needs to be the most indulgent. 37. The Sound of Music (US) -Erwin Sabathi Poharnig Sauvignon Blanc 2003 -Tscheppe Pinot Gris Reserve 2002 -Wenzel Am Fusse Des Berges Ruster Ausbruch 2001 (the name means "at the foot of the hills") 38. The 400 Blows (FRANCE) 39. The Silence of the Lambs (US) -Terrabianca Chianti Classico Riserva Croce 1991 -Amarone 40. Babe (AUSTRALIA) - Henschke Hill of Grace (often abbreviated HOG) - Turkey Flat Shiraz 02. -Goats Do Roam 2003 Goat-Roti 41. Raise the Red Lantern (CHINA) - Chinese rice wine. -Red Diamond 2002 Chardonnay 42. Amelie (FRANCE) - Beujoulais Villages, light fruity, yet serious enough for real consumption. -Jaunegg Muri Chardonnay. To pair with the roast chicken the old man cooks. 43. Eat Drink Man Woman (TAIWAN) - Black tea. 44. Picnic at Hanging Rock (AUSTRALIA) - Hanging Rock Heathcote Shiraz 1990. 45. Chocolat (US) -Heiss Acacia-Barrique Beerenauslese Sauvignon Blanc - Banyuls -Bonny Doon Cardinal Zin 46. The Story of Boys and Girls (La Storia de Ragazzi ed di Raggazze, ITALY) 47. Psycho (US) -Johann Donabaum Spitzer Point Gruner Veltliner Smaragd 2002. Because they say Gruner Veltliner goes with anything, and I couldn't think of anything to go with this film. 48. Eating Raoul (US) -Kistler Chardonnay 49. Don's Party (AUSTRALIA) -Something Australian and tacky. Yellowtail should do the trick. Or Australian Sparkling Shiraz (better still if it says Burgundy on the label) 50. Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (US) -Wenzel SAZ Ruster Ausbruch 2001. The sweetness, and the gold ticket. - A rare Australian Muscat or Tokay. Goes well with chocolate. 51. Apocolypse Now -Bonny Doon Heart of Darkness www.winemonger.com |

Here's the sad truth: I have both a B.F.A. and an M.F.A. in film. (ouch!) Emily |

This calls for a wine _made_ by Andre (Tchelischeff, of course). Personally I'd choose the 1970 George de Latour Private Reserve Cabernet, but wouldn't reject the 1968. Tom S |

Trying to fill in the blanks:
I think Laurel Glen Reds would be good for Battleship Potemkin, though it could work for On the Waterfront or Grapes of Wrath, too. (USSR) 12. Metropolis (GERMANY) I think there's a Rheinhessen winemaker called Lang? 25. Un Chien Andalou (FRANCE) Bonny Doon has a new wine called Exquisite Corpse 32. L'Avventura (ITALY) I prefer BlowUp or Red Desert. But I'd choose a rather modern-styled Italian wine, how about a Supertuscan? 38. The 400 Blows (FRANCE) A young French wine, I'd go for something a bit delicate but with a core of strength- a 2000 Bourgogne from a good maker (Chevillon, Lafarge, Bachelet, etc) I've never seen Delicatessen or The Story of Boys and Girls, sadly Dale Dale Williams Drop "damnspam" to reply |
