I'll Name the Food, You Name the Movie

**djyee100** · February 19, 2007

ding-ding-ding! More winners!

Yes! #29. "Where are my marrons glacés?" and "The star reputedly said, 'I vant to be alone.'"--Camille (1936) with Greta Garbo. At the theatre, the courtesan Camille (Garbo) sends her impecunious young admirer Andre to buy her marrons glaces, so she can take off with an older and wealthier patron. Months later, she meets Andre again and she says, joking, "Where are my marrons glacés?" Marrons glacés are, of course, candied chestnuts. Some critics say this melodramatic movie is a chestnut. :raz:

Congrats, Rachellindsay, for a good shot in the dark! :smile:

Yes! #28. "Kitchen cupboard filled with jars of homemade applesauce" and "Buy one, get 5 free," from Baby Boom with Diane Keaton. I love the scene where J.C. (Keaton) opens her kitchen cupboard to reveal all the baby applesauce she has cooked. This Type A needs something else to do!

Congrats, Chufi! :smile:

I seem to be determined to undermine this "big screen" topic with small screen triviality, but not sure it merits a second thread and, as I rely on netflix for movies almost exclusively these days, the size of the screen has been rendered largely irrelevant . . .

Custard tarts, sausages and incendiary chili con carne

**djyee100** · February 19, 2007

Here's a new clue for #27, which hasn't moved at all.

OLD CLUES: 27. "One ostrich egg to feed a crowd for dinner," and "A signature yell." NEW CLUE: "In the jungle."

Plus a few more clues to plump up the board. Here's one:

* Overindulging in a cheese platter on the train.*

Another one:

* A liquor bottle replaces Venus.*

Still another:

* Chicken heads and necks, chicken feet, beef shin bones, and a cow's head in a wheelbarrow.*

Finally:

* String cheese.*

Tortilla Soup

GTO · February 20, 2007

Congratulations, oneidaone! Yes it was 'Tortilla Soup'. The film itself, was bordering on disaster, suddenly, for no reason "I can taste!"

The food however, was stunning.

this first one sounds like any Tarzan movie from my childhood

cheese platter on a train is "French Kiss"............muucuuuussssssssssssssss!

I don't know the next one and finally

is this from "Babette's Feast" ???

**djyee100** · February 20, 2007

Ding-ding! A hat trick for caroled! Congrats! :smile:

Yes. 27. "One ostrich egg to feed a crowd for dinner," "A signature yell," and "In the jungle." --from one of the Tarzan movies starring Johnny Weissmuller. Even after a Google search I couldn't pinpoint the movie I was thinking of, but it's probably Tarzan Finds A Son (1939). Ostrich eggs were a sight gag for that series of Tarzan movies.

In the scene I remember, Tarzan and Jane have guests, and Jane decides to cook an omelet for dinner. Then she hauls out one big ol' ostrich egg to make the omelet that will feed everybody. BTW, in my Google search I came across a recipe for Scotch Ostrich Egg, in case you have a spare ostrich egg around. http://www.blogjam.com/2005/05/15/scotch-ostrich-egg

Yes, * Overindulging in a cheese platter on the train* from French Kiss with Meg Ryan and Kevin Kline. "Lactose intolerance!!!"

And lastly, yes! * Chicken heads and necks, chicken feet, beef shin bones, and a cow's head in a wheelbarrow* from Babette's Feast. There's a brief scene where Babette's boy assistant carts away trimmings for stock.

I know that Lionel Hardcastle in the TV series "As Time Goes By" has a special affinity for custard tarts but I can't place the chili reference.

Waterdogs has guessed the Santa Clause for No. 21

Alex has guessed No. 24 is 'Airplane'

I’ve made a stab at No. 34. Is it Parents?

Since there have been some small screen references, this isn't Malcolm in the Middle is it? has been guessed as the answer to No. 34 by Simon_S

No. 37 guessed by me as The Shawshank Redemption

No. 40 guessed by petite tete de chou to be As Time Goes By

***FINALLYCONFIRMED***Well done!!!

Varmint has guessed No. 18 is Caddyshack

AS YET UNSOLVED:

18. "I want a hamburger... no, a cheeseburger. I want a hot dog. I want a milkshake..."

20. Melting ice cream.

24. "Well, we had a choice, steak or fish."

**NEW CLUE**

This actress uses unusual levels of Tai Chi skill to make the sweet bun dough. Through special effect wizardry, the dough begins to spin itself...

40. Custard tarts, sausages and incendiary chili con carne CLUE: from the small screen!

42. A liquor bottle replaces Venus.

45. String cheese.

48. How about "Quiche Lorraine, pastries as light as air, picnic of cold chicken"

49. How about "A solitary fried egg, soup with a ham hock,

#40. Yes, ma Petite Chou, you are right. While they definitely take a back seat to the beloved custard tarts, Lionel often fancies the sausages from nearby shop (commenting that they are made in-house) and brags about his "incendiary" chili con carne which proved nearly fatal to Jean the first time he made it for her. I was wishing I had some of it :wub: !

I'm with Varmint on #18 - the scene where Ted Knights grandson is at the golf course snack bar.

How about "Quiche Lorraine, pastries as light as air, picnic of cold chicken"
