Popcorn, a cosy couch, and a chilly carbonated drink. These are most of our favourite companions when we watch a movie. But what transpires when meals are the focus of a movie? Cinematic magic.
Food frequently transforms an ordinary scenario into an extraordinary one, whether it's an actor sharing a piece of spaghetti or a fantastic feast in the Harry Potter dining room. It is amazing to see how much information we can get about world cuisine and the food that's enjoyed across the world through movies. We have gathered seven of the best food-related movie moments to honour these legendary scenes. Get a snack now. The seven best movie scenes are listed below.
Willy Wonka And The Chocolate Factory:
Every child's fantasy is to enter a space where everything—trees, plants, and even the river—is made of sweets. Even the adults can't help but enjoy this scene's extravagance. Gene Wilder's "Pure Imagination" and the vibrant graphics make it nearly impossible to resist diving into the screen and devouring the candy.
It is enticing, even though it is obviously unhealthy to consume that much candy. Viewers will undoubtedly want to go out and buy a tonne of candy after seeing this scene.
Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi:
Among friends, golgappa, or pani puri, has long been a source of competition and dominance. The age-old tradition of "whoever quits eating golgappas first has to pay for the entire group" is a famous and well-known challenge. Like when Raj and Taani's characters in the movie "Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi" compete to see who can eat the most of those hot, mouthwatering golgappas. The scene was so good that it made all the viewers crave pani puri at the moment, which is a testament to how great the actors were in the scene.
Band Baaja Baaraat:
Another Anushka Sharma classic. Although dining at a five-star establishment is elegant, the excitement and fun of planning your future while eating garma-garam bread pakora from a roadside shop far outweigh this. Band Baaja Baaraat characters Bittoo and Shruti are proof. The dialogue "Bread pakore ki kasam yaar!" is still one of the most popular in Indian cinema.
Harry Potter And The Philosopher's Stone:
The dream of every Harry Potter fan is to eat in a vast hall that resembles Hogwarts. The dining hall sequence from the first film in the series is incredibly endearing.
"Let the feast begin!" declares Dumbledore. Then, food suited for young wizards and witches arrives on the table by magic.
It's enough to make anyone's mouth wet, with drumsticks, corn, French fries, and fruit included. The film and franchise also featured some creative and magical foods like the chocolate frog, butterbeer, Hagrid's Rock Cakes, Cauldron Cakes, Knickerbocker Glory and more.
Lady And The Tramp:
It makes no difference how old you are. Watching this classic Disney film is always delightful! And the legendary spaghetti scene will be remembered as a romantic moment for all ages. The first impromptu kiss between Lady and her Tramp happens at this memorable dinner over spaghetti.
This scene showed how food could be the centrepiece of the most beautiful relationships and bonds.
Chef:
One of the best scenes is when they are making Cubanos. The session gets off to a good start with some delicious meat that John Leguizamo's character has prepared.
However, the Cubano cooked by the character played by Jon Favreau with locally sourced ingredients looks delicious. The combination of cheese, butter, and meat produces a stunning result. Favreau beautifully portrays how great food can be, even when it isn't prepared in a fine dining establishment. The beignets from Cafe Du Monde in New Orleans are also featured in the movie, which might be on many people's bucket lists for travel to the city. Not to forget how remarkable it is to see what can be cooked on a food truck.
English Vinglish:
In India, weddings are regarded on par with festivals. Additionally, these celebrations include a variety of delectable Indian sweets and dishes that are simply impossible to pass up. The movie also portrays the bond that can be built over laddoos made with pure ghee. The precision with which Shashi, the main character in the film "English Vinglish," prepares mouthwatering laddoos for the entire barat is amazing.
The Breakfast Club:
Breakfast Club is possibly John Hughes's best film.
A strange bunch of teenagers from various backgrounds gather around the site. The jock, the outcast, and the straight-A student are all part of it.
The gang settles down to have their lunch in a humorous sequence. The straight-A student watches in dread as she tucks into her healthy sushi while the jock devours multiple huge sandwiches and the outcast consumes his bag of chips, displaying different emotions towards food.
Marie Antoinette:
Despite the fact that Marie Antoinette might have never said, "Let them eat cake," the 2006 movie starring Kirsten Dunst took those words quite seriously. The renowned French bakery Laduree provided all of the delicious sweets and cakes shown in the film, and they all seem incredibly alluring.
Mr.Bean's Holiday:
It doesn't matter how many times you've seen Mr. Bean's amusing response to his seafood platter. In the moment, a waiter demonstrates how to eat an oyster to Mr. Bean, who reacts pretty dramatically. He makes a huge deal out of pretending to eat more, but this strategy fails miserably.
Julie & Julia:
Julie tries to replicate the well-known dish of beef bourguignon here, and the result looks very delectable. It smells delicious while the meat simmers in the pan. The finished dish appears to smell and taste amazing. The raspberry Bavarian cream, which also looks delicious, should not be overlooked. Just like a cooking show, Julie's viewpoint enhances the food's details, while the swirl is flawless. It's challenging to select just one moment in a movie with so much delicious-looking food.
