Just because food appears in a movie doesn't mean it's delicious; in fact, many times it's used to create the opposite effect, and those are the moments that stick in our memory. If you love cinema and are passionate about gastronomy, you might remember some of these moments that, while they don't whet our appetite, we certainly recall clearly.   Rocky (1976) Director: John G. Avildsen Rocky Balboa has a golden opportunity to become the world heavyweight boxing champion, and he isn't going to take his training lightly. That's why he lifts weights, jumps rope, spars with his shadow, and of course, eats raw eggs. That chilling early morning scene where Stallone gulps down five egg yolks without breathing is etched in our minds. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NhkdLHSKo9s Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984) Director: Steven Spielberg In the midst of all his daring adventures, Harrison Ford, in the role of the intrepid archaeologist Indiana Jones, encounters a terrifying dinner where the appetizers are giant beetles, followed by a stew of eyeballs, and to top it off, freshly sacrificed primate brain. Not exactly appetizing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3MgyRO3c870 Matilda (1996) Director: Danny DeVito We all love chocolate cake, there's no doubt about that. But there are moments when enough is enough, and what they make this little chubby kid consume goes over the line. You surely remember his epic battle against a beautifully presented cake that could have been enough for an entire family. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AJ2sRkGrtIg Lady and the Tramp (1955) Director: Clyde Geronimi, Wilfred Jackson   Here, the strange part isn't so much what is eaten but who is eating it. This isn't about bones or raw meat for the dog; no, it's a candlelit feast of spaghetti Bolognese with meatballs for this canine couple. This scene is well-known by all and is probably one of the most romantic moments in animated cinema. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JsJecrDVxi0   The Waterboy (1998) Director: Frank Coraci   The comedian Adam Sandler plays a young man filled with rage who has hidden his anger throughout his life, causing him to explode every once in a while. One of the only people who can calm him down is his mother, and she often does it with a delicious barbecue that includes boas and small alligators from the Florida swamps. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CpkAsDrxk4Q      Snacks to enjoy movies    Goat Cheese Dip with Mint  Bittersweet Chocolate Popcorn  Caramel Popcorn What snacks do you like to enjoy with your favorite movies?
