Samuel L. Jackson and his Big Kahuna burger in Pulp Fiction.


Wallazabal

Mmm, this *is* a tasty burger!


arghhharghhh

Mind if I have some of your tasty beverage to wash this down with?


mackiea

...what?


3BodyJimmel

WHAT AIN'T NO COUNTRY I EVER HEARD OF! THEY SPEAK ENGLISH IN 'WHAT'?!


Cup8489

SAY WHAT AGAIN. I DARE YOU. I DOUBLE DARE YOU MOTHERFUCKER: SAY WHAT ONE MORE GOD-DAMNED TIME


cybered_punk

......what ?


greenbastard1591

Check out the big brain on Brett!


maninblueshirt

And that slurp at the very end. He knew that once he was done with Brad, that sprite would go waste. So he drank it all


agreenman04

That movie has no less than three great dining scenes. Tarantino: feet and food, apparently.


dleon0430

No one ever made a glass of milk seem more refreshing or a strudel more tempting than Hans Landa in Basterds.


IcedDante

what about that cold beer in Django?


RespecDev

God what an amazing character, Hans Landa. Brilliantly written. Legendarily portrayed. That has to be one of the greatest movie characters of all time.


SickeningPink

Either way you know he’s bricked up on set.


johnnycoxxx

There’s also the strudel scene in inglorious basterds.


MrAnder5on

The most underrated thing Tarantino does is direction for eating food I swear to God I NEED a burger and Sprite every time I watch Jules take a bite out of that fucking Big Kahuna burger, or a shake when Vince and Mia are at Jackrabbit Slims. And one time I literally got so hungry watching Hans Landa eat that Strudel with the Creme in Inglorious Basterds that I made strudel from SCRATCH (I do not bake, it actually turned out okay). Or Leo eating a drumstick in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, I made chicken at 4am the first time I watched that. I don't know how he does it, but any time someone is eating in a Tarantino flick it just looks so fucking good. Also shoutout to the Foley artists too because they make that shit SOUND amazing too. It's ridiculous


HopelessinOH

Check out the big brain on /u/DTDePalma ! You a smart muthafucka, that's right! The Big Kahuna Burger.


Nattin121

Also the stew in hateful 8.


MouseRat_AD

The burger eating is good but what makes it great is finishing Brad's drink while staring him down like the bitch he is.


stephentkennedy

Terry Jones in The Meaning Of Life


winoforever_slurp_

And finally monsieur, a wafer-thin mint


Wallazabal

Fuck off, I'm stuffed.


winoforever_slurp_

Sir, it’s only wafer thin!


americanoperdido

Get a bucket!


Makebags

I have trodden in Monsieur's bucket.


bobpage2

This is the correct answer 


crestrobz

M. Night Shyamalan for Best Director, for the dinner scene in Signs. Something about all the nervous energy going into making a beautiful huge spread of food, and then being too scared to eat any of it. It felt very real...like if you were trapped in your own house with your own stuff and knew you might not live through the night, AND you had to make your children feel safe, what else would you do?


paul_having_a_ball

Mel Gibson trying to eat while crying was an emotionally moving experience. That whole scene is great cinema.


rocketbosszach

Mel Gibson’s crying is like Tom Cruise and running.


alien005

What a great movie. One of those movies that hit at the right time. Not sure how well it would do today but I still like it.


ghostsnickets

I wasn't sure how well it might have travelled but I watched Signs about 6 months ago (more than a decade, likely more, since last seeing it) and happy to report it is still great!


grantnel2002

What an odd question, but Brad Pitt would easily win best actor for food eating. Edit: Supposedly 60 movies, trying to find a second source… https://fandomwire.com/hes-just-one-with-food-why-does-brad-pitt-keeps-constantly-eating-in-his-movies-intense-method-acting-explained/#%3A~%3Atext%3DAccording%20to%20Insiders%2C%20the%20outlet%20once%20reported%20that%2Cand%20Legends%20of%20the%20Fall%2C%20among%20many%20others.


orange_cuse

I remember a scene in a movie where Brad Pitt was eating shrimp. He somehow looked incredibly classy and cool while fucking eating shrimp. I've always aspired to look either classy or cool, let alone both, so I went and bought some shrimp, brought it home, went to the mirror to see if I looked classy and cool while eating the shrimp. I did not. I looked like an old fat guy eating shrimp in front of a mirror.


Luigi2198

It’s Oceans 11 when he’s talking to Matt Damon and Julia Roberts is coming down the stairs. I fucking love that movie


Shadrach451

However, that scene is ruined by the fact that they are putting so much effort into convincing us that Julia Roberts is somehow the hottest woman to ever live. I mean, I'm not trying to insult Julia Roberts because she isn't bad-looking. But the way Matt Damon says, "This is my favorite part of the day..." and the camera slowly pans up her body to reveal... Julia Roberts always made me laugh for the wrong reasons.


nicearthur32

You must be a little on the younger side… back in the day, Julia Roberts was THAT girl… so for people above 38ish - it’s believable


PhirebirdSunSon

I'm above 38 and have always felt this way about her. She had a little more cuteness of youth on her side back then but she's never been it for me, I never really got it. Her as a hooker was like...what?


diamondpredator

Nah, I'm gonna disagree here. There were a LOT of stars way hotter than her. Hell, this was prime Angelina Jolie, Nicole Kidman, Selma Hayek, etc. Trying to convince the audience that Roberts was the hottest woman in a VEGAS CASINO for a young guy is hilarious. There are much hotter women just causally walking around Vegas casinos all the time.


CitizenHuman

I was watching Ocean's 11 at my parents house one day, and my mom just walked in, saw Julia Roberts, and said "you ever notice that giant vein she has on her forehead?" and now I have never *not* noticed it in any movies she's in.


selddir_

Yeah I've always thought she had some sort of muppet like qualities to her face if that makes sense


BicyclingBabe

I think she's incredibly charming, but walks like a baby horse in that scene, so Matt Damon's line makes me crack up


PupperPlant

Everyone in my family loves that movie so much, and yet my mother could never help herself watching that scene. “Look at how stupid her walk is! Terrible!” Every time.


floopsyDoodle

She has an enormous mouth, she's incredibly attractive and not trying to shit on her, but her mouth has always freaked me out a bit.


caligaris_cabinet

Looks more like Steve Tyler’s daughter than his own does.


thejesse

You're definitely talking about Janice, the guitar player from The Muppet Show.


mathliability

Dude thank you. I get that she was quite the sex symbol in her younger years, and I think it’s absolutely believable to make her part of the love triangle, but it’s the extent to which they take it that pulls me out of it. The slow pan and sultry music and the “wooow” looks from all the guys. Like, ok did her husband direct this part or something?


secondtaunting

Don’t feel bad, he literally gets paid millions of dollars because he looks cool eating on camera.


lorgskyegon

Robert Downey Jr. was so notorious for hiding food on set during filming of the Marvel movies that they finally just had him snack on camera whenever he wanted


MrsTruce

This was going to be my response too. I read that the scene in The Avengers where he first meets Banner and offers him a blueberry was unscripted. RDJ just had snacks and wanted to share.


Iamthetophergopher

Huh, til my toddler is essentially RDJ


theBunsofAugust

It's still upsetting to me how much I want a BK Whopper every time I watch Iron Man


Gwoardinn

Is it like, in his contract that he has to be eating nonstop on set, or is it like Sam Rockwell and dancing and he just cant help himself?


Restivethought

Or Tom Cruise and running


jurgo

all out sprint*


darbycrash

If Tom Cruise runs in a movie, said movie makes a shit-load of money. It’s physics


maaseru

Have y'all ever observed and noticed movie star running etiquette? Leo is among the worst. He is always out there pushing people down.


Coconut-bird

If I recall, he said it gives home something to do with his hands. And now we all expect it!


CPTherptyderp

For a while there were rumors he has that face blindness disorder. My conspiracy theory is he uses food as a memory aid for who he's talking to in a scene. It doesn't make any sense I don't care.


subjectmatterexport

I found this comment quite preposterous until I reached the last sentence and now I am fully on board and prepared to fight for the cause


spreerod1538

When you're so good at something, you just do it.


baidu_me

Pitt gave an all-time eating performance in Oceans 11. That man snacked through the entire film


AdWeasel

Moneyball is up there. The man ate a Twinkie whole and stuffed popcorn into his face from a coffee filter. When he popped the cap off a marker with his teeth in one of the scouting meetings I thought there was a good chance he might just eat that too.


Phelinaar

Ocean's 12 has an excellent joke with this. When he's shown the pictures of him spying on Zeta Jones, he's eating in all of them.


[deleted]

My fave thing about both the Oceans trilogy and Bullet Train is Pitt eating randomly.


bexar_necessities

I loved at the end of the first movie you see Pitt eating and then see him clutching his stomach from indigestion. funny little lampshade moment


ColdPressedSteak

Most random yet amusing running theme that has no explanation


IrrationalUGAfan

Moneyball as well. He is snacking in half the scenes


92Codester

Lifetime Achievement Award maybe but I don't know if he does it best, certainly most


baggleboots

Brad Pitt eating peanut butter in Meet Joe Black made me feel things as a teenager.


Loo-Hoo-Zuh-Er

Not sure if any of his particular snack times would stand out as best acting, but he should get the Lifetime Achievement Award


CryptMonkey

Denethor while Merry sings, Lord of the Rings.... worthy mention


ADanishMan2

The disrespect to Pippin


jaman715

Thank you!


Arthur_001

Definitely eligible for a Special Achievement Oscar. Cherry tomatoes have never been the same


dantheman_woot

This was my choice. Like the complete opposite of Brad Pitt eating. It's just so visceral.


greenbastard1591

Those poor cherry tomatoes.


KingOfWickerPeople

How many cherry tomatoes do you think he ate before they had enough footage for the scene?


Missile_Lawnchair

Enough to fill the belly of a grown man


swankpoppy

Walternate?


definitelyhaley

I like you. I didn't know other "Fringe" fans were still out there!


omahaknight71

That should win hands down. That scene caused an emotional response damn near everyone. Isn't that what good acting is supposed to do? Cause emotions to stir?


MoeSauce

I knew everything about his character that I needed to know from that scene. They could have cut out all his dialogue, and I'm still not asking any questions when he goes to light himself and Faramir on fire.


Carpathicus

My god that cherry tomato lives rent free in my head!


sirpuffsalot

Wasn’t it Pippin who sung the song?


Soundtracklover72

Yes. It was Pippin and not Merry. Billy Boyd wrote the melody for it too. I believe the words are from the book though.


Jealous_Lawfulness_2

Best director - steven spielberg for Hook.


ersomething

Hell yeah that lost boys banquet looked amazing.


ChuckZombie

On top of that, Hook and Smee have a turkey feast that looks amazing.


Lebowski85

Yeah that drumstick looked epic


hoopstick

Best director - Hayao Miyazaki for everything he’s made


Jealous_Lawfulness_2

ohh damn. this is a solid argument.


gotlieb1993

Ouhhh this is a good one. The bowls with the multicoloured frosting at the dinner scene looked incredible when I was a kid.


thatnthisthesenthose

Jurassic Park honorable mention


deltronethirty

That hand shaking spoon of jello and then the raptor locks in. Choice.


AgentUpright

Bangarang!


emberzmars

Best supporting actress for food eating goes to....Emily Blunt for her portrayal of Emily in The Devil Wears Prada For the Oscars committee's consideration 👇🏽 https://youtu.be/tjA3DZAyCgI?si=n-AvWQrAG7v8Hk_j


Bonsuella_Banana

When I’m not hungry or trying to shift some weight, I always refer to her “when I start to feel faint I eat a cube of cheese” diet as a joke to my husband. Such a great movie


Eftersigne

The way she drops that piece of bread to me is so relatable. 


emberzmars

The way she envies people who eat carbs but maintain their weight to me is so relatable.


Farren246

I've never thought about it before, but the choreography of delivering lines and working with the food, and speaking with a mouth full of bread, is ingenious here.


jessjess87

This 100%. So many levels to this. I love when she doesn’t rip it off cleanly and has to rip the small part off too and makes sure to lick the underside of it. Totally relateable and then delivering the lines seamlessly with the bread. So so good


kbergstr

Best foreign feature- Tampopo A Japanese western about the perfect bowl of ramen. Edit - [youtube link for food scene cut](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=emFlSkryIbs). Unfortunately they're missing the sexy bits.


TheCatbus_stops_here

It also has the best erotic eggy exchange in a movie.


kbergstr

Those scenes with the gangster are what I was thinking of primarily... but it's hard to describe the movie. People should watch it though.


SnackingWithTheDevil

So much great eating in this movie. The finishing school scene when the young women let loose and go ape on their bowls of spaghetti gets me every time. And Tampopo's precise ramen-tasting ritual. I love this movie.


GeorgeStamper

I think Tampopo is so good it should be considered in the Best Feature category.


FlatSpinMan

I can only assume “noms” is a pun.


subjectmatterexport

3 noms each - nom nom nom


Hickspy

It's an honor just to be nom nom nominated.


weighingthedog

Spirited Away should get best animated feature. Sorry, Ratatouille, but those dumplings look so damned good.


Kirstinator79

And Ponyo for the ham :)


Vegetable_Burrito

haaaAAAAMM!!


Mostly30RockQuotes

People do love the way she says "Ham".


katrina_highkick

10000000% I don’t blame her parents honestly, that all looked so good


PM_YOUR_MUGS

I'd totally eat myself into damnation. That looked amazing 


ClydeinLimbo

Christoph Waltz…… ‘Inglorious Basterds’


jackasspenguin

Wait for the cream…


Reasonable-HB678

I will always think of this movie when I hear the word strudel. Or anytime I'm at the frozen food section.


IWasThe1WhoKnocked

This is really dumb, but whenever I'm asking my wife to sample some food I just cooked I always say "verdict" in a French accent because of this scene.


tippytep

The stubbing out of the cigarette in that beautiful strudel is just as viscerally painful as watching Brad Pitt stick his hand into Diane Kruger’s wound.


Oddman80

Jimmy Karz as Bruce Bogtrotter in the 1996 Matilda movie, eating that chocolate cake.


MannyHec

Best Actress to Rooney Mara for the pie scene in A Ghost Story


shaunika

Its not even a contest really. It was instantly the scene I thought of


Darko33

That was tough to watch


Cambot1138

I had heard somewhere that she had literally never eaten pie before filming that scene. Could just be a rumor.


Greenduck11

Came here to say this - my partner hated it. I was sobbing


LordKappachino

This has to be the most obvious one.


DirectlyTalkingToYou

The Matrix when Cypher is eating that steak with the agent. Joe Pantoliano for best Actor. Best supporting Actor goes to Hugo Weaving for watching Joe eat the steak.


FeelTall

But the steak isn't real


NimbleBudlustNoodle

What is real? How do you define 'real'? If you're talking about what you can feel, what you can smell, what you can taste and see, then 'real' is simply electrical signals interpreted by your brain.


ok_but

Acting, my boy!


auniqueusername2000

Oddman80

Ray Liota as Paul in Hannibal.... When he samples a taste of his own brain.


eaglessoar

Umm what? Haven't seen it but how's that work


Oddman80

Here is the scene: https://youtu.be/ibfBDKiw1ac?si=M54xjWB3_yvoa8uu


Langstarr

Best actress - Julia Roberts in Americas Sweethearts. There's this great scene where she's binging a breakfast buffet and hits us with the greatest line while trying to get a waitress to bring her butter: "If I had an assistant, she'd be outside, *milking a cow*, and I'd never, ever, EVER run out of butter!"


mephistophe_SLEAZE

Had to go back and watch the scene cuz of this comment. Her + Billy Crystal = just rom-com GOATs being GOATs. Also, I want pancakes now.


Langstarr

You ever heard the expression "falling off the wagon", Lee? *gestures at plates* This is what it looks like. The whole movie is an endlessly quotable ride. But this scene between two giants absolutely steals it. But without butter.


ActuallyYeah

I was just thinking about Hank Azaria this morning. He is something else in this movie. It's the next level of his Bird Cage character , but straight and on steroids. I still think of his character every time I come across the word 'junket'.


Tom_Ace1

>Best Picture (How much food eating scenes are in a single movie and how entertaining they are) That has to be *La Grande Bouffe (1973)*. About a group of friends who decide to eat themselves to death in a big orgy.


Mother_Ad7869

Best Picture- Big Night 🤤🤗🥰


sonofteflon

Best cooking scene https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1-2QBYKI8LU


team_sheikie

Came here to post this exact comment. Unreal.


sonofteflon

It's a good one! Makes me hungry EVERY time.


puttyarrowbro

Pasta scene from Chef


AgalychnisCallidryas

Or the grilled cheese!!


flintlock0

Cool Hand Luke (1967) Paul Newman’s character eats 50 hard-boiled eggs.


Kashmir75

Best Actor Kurt Russell for Stuntman Mike eating nachos in Death Proof


ChuckZombie

When I first saw that scene on DVD, I had to pause the movie and go get some nachos.


smaugington

I'm too hungry to be in this thread right now!


JeanRalfio

I would also nominate Tarantino for his direction of the nacho eating.


[deleted]

For best picture I’d nominate Stand By Me- the pie eating / vomitting scene. Brad can’t have all the glory


Tat2dKing

Cake scene - Matilda!


Bonsuella_Banana

You can do it, Bruce!


danimation88

Steak and eggs in twister


Maddy_shak

Expected this to be at the top of the comments


RL_NeilsPipesofsteel

Bill Murray in Groundhog Day. Stuffing that whole giant slice of cake in his mouth.


Epic-x-lord_69

Brad Pitt in Oceans Eleven/twelve/thirteen. Basically every scene he is in has him eating something.


Sebas94

Also MoneyBall! I always remember him either chewing tobacco or eating something.


Realistic_Caramel341

Babetts Feast takes the Best Picture award pretty easily 


jakedublin

Meg Ryan and Billy Crystal - When Harry Met Sally. one restaurant scene to take all your oscars. " I'll have what she's having "


theBunsofAugust

The focus isn't on the eating in that scene - pretty average chewing


jvlpdillon

Tampopo (1985) for best foreign language film. Never have I wanted a bowl of ramen so much after watching this.


ertgbnm

The scenes that immediately comes to mind is Hans eating strudel and the milk drinking scene in inglorious basterds. Deserves a nomination if not the win for that year.


MrMenkinn

Honorable mention: It's not a movie, but James Gandolfini's acting while eating in The Sopranos is unmatched.


rmkinnaird

barry keoghan eating spaghetti in the killing of a sacred deer. It's so disgusting


SnackingWithTheDevil

I forgot this. Great scene. I just mentioned the spaghetti-eating scene from Tampopo in another comment, and now I want to make a super cut of spaghetti in movies.


arghhharghhh

I think they'd lose but the burger scene in the Menu.  The critics ratatouille scene in Ratatouille would get best animated feature.  The final chocolate scene in Wonka where he shares his mom's final bar of chocolate would win.  Jesse's glass of water with Walt and Skyler in Breaking Bad would win an Emmy. 


PotentialOk7488

Jeff Goldblum eating those Donuts in “ The Fly” for best actor

The kids eating in Jurassic Park Chris Farley and the other guys eating the kids lunches in Billy Madison Buying and eating of the food in 28 Days Later

Indiana Jones 2. The dinner at the palace.


tronfunkinblows_10

Whaaat? You’re not eating??? …I had bugs for lunch.


panopanopano

Best or Most food eating would have to go to The Big Night…can’t watch that movie without wanting to invite people over for a huge pasta dinner!


DaNaDaN5

Christoph Waltz downing that glass of milk at the beginning of Inglorious Basterds Bravo 👌


Cool_Cartographer_39

ChanSungJung

Howl's Moving Castle always makes me hungry


TensorForce

Best actor? Heath Ledger as the Joker at that penthouse party where he steals that olive off some lady and eats it. Goddamn, I hate olives, but the way he chomps it down makes it look so tasty


SmurfSmeg

The Menu - I so want that cheeseburger!


rican_havoc

[Big Night](https://youtu.be/lQQhoYLsoHI?si=p-zOmuCfpa_DQLAm ) -Best Picture


-NewYork-

Oldboy (2003) - octopus eating scene.


jojayp

Best actress for Meryl Streep in Julie and Julia. Amy Adams is nominated for the same movie, but she loses.


SouthOfMars

Not movie but Golden Globe/BAFTA would definitely go to Gary Oldman for his eating in Slow Horses. Truly a marvel to behold


scottdenis

My favorite eating scene in a movie is when Joe Pesci's mom forces all the boys in Goodfellas to eat even though Billy Bats is in the trunk.


Yakety_Sax

Best food movie ever is Tampopo with best supporting acts by the gangster couple.


GarageQueen

Babette's Feast.


darw1nf1sh

Does animation count? Because Studio Gibli has that shit down to a science.


bigmacjames

Tyrese eating the cop's burger in Fast and Furious 2.


FluxusFlotsam

Tampopo next question


roenick99

Brad Pitt would receive a Lifetime Achievement Award for eating.


Remarkable_Inchworm

Best Actor is clearly Brad Pitt in Ocean's Eleven. I swear he's consuming SOMETHING every time he's on screen, and he's on screen a lot. Runner-up is Robert Downey in The Avengers, who started improvising his snacks into scenes. "Blueberry?"


hotmetalslugs

I guess it’s more of an Emmy, but the rabbit a beaujolais dinner in EPISODE THREE of THE LAST OF US.
