I haven't even heard of 'Mostly Martha' :biggrin:

Here's another one. Pizza with "stinky junk, bits of sweaty sausage, a little tomato, nice, fresh spaghetti, an old cheese rind, lettuce that's good and rotten, one olive..."

QUIET!  People are trying to pontificate.

A morning recap while the game guessers keep hitting them out of the ballpark:

CONGRATULATIONS TO:

-dsquare for solving #60 (Scully's Catches of the Day and a nearly empty tank of lobsters) as the film "Summer Rental".

-caroled for solving #63 (Lemonade and Girl Scout cookies) as the film "The Addams Family"

-petite tête de chou for being the first to solve #65 ("Oh yes, ahh, the time has come, my little friends, to talk of food and things!" "Of peppercorns and mustard seed and other seasonings. We’ll mix some all together in a sauce as good for kings." "Callooh, callay, we’ll live today, like cabbages and kings!") as the animated film "Alice in Wonderland".

petite tête de chou also solved #33 (Undercooked foie gras, lobster in a tank, pasta. CLUE: This foodie movie is in German with English subtitles and its musical score is as great as its food) as the film "Mostly Martha".

-dockhl for also knowing #65 referenced the Walrus & Carpenter in "Alice in Wonderland".

-insomniac solved "Chilled monkey-brains served fresh from the original container" as the film "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom".

-GordonCooks has brilliantly deduced that #64 ("A double Chubby Chuck, a Mexicali Chili Barb, two orders of French fries..." "And cherry cokes.") is from the George Lucas classic "American Graffiti".

-I_call_the_duck for figuring out that "Sushi prepared/served by a commando penguin" was from the animated feature "Madagascar".

************

We also know:

#42 is not "Six Degrees of Separation"

#49 is not "Lilies of the Field"

************

AS YET UNSOLVED AND STILL IN PLAY:

42. A liquor bottle replaces Venus.

NEW CLUE: One of the stars is nominated for the Best Actor Oscar this year. (But for a different movie.)

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

53. "Turn me over I am done on this side."

55. How current are you in your movies? Movie food = individual chocolate soufflés

61. The following items are on the menu in this movie:

melon with port, herring, snails ala mode Chablis, hare pate, grilled sardines, filet of sole, fried whiting, skate in brown butter, quenelles of pike, truit au bleu, vol au vent, three cups of tea, two with lemon, one with milk, three coffees, one with cognac, a glass of poisoned milk, three glasses of water, champagne, bread, lettuce, whiskey and soda, foie gras, ham, dry martinis, eggs, cheese, roast chicken, port ,omelet with truffles, guinea hen, soup, leg of lamb with beans, American canned beans, and in conclusion, leftover roast meat and a baguette for a late night snack.

65. Live, wriggling reptilian alien looking frogs swallowed whole.

CLUE: the live reptilian alien frogs were served from a glass bowl while a blue dancer danced

66. Pizza with "stinky junk, bits of sweaty sausage, a little tomato, nice, fresh spaghetti, an old cheese rind, lettuce that's good and rotten, one olive..."

67. "...Hot sausage and mustard! While we're in the mood -- Cold jelly and custard! Pease pudding and saveloys!..."

68. An easy one: Tab and Pepsi Free.

****

NOTE: If you post a movie, please check back to see if the guesses on your movie are correct or not so we can keep the "Still in Play" list accurate.

Also, consider posting more clues if your movie remains unsolved.

You won't accept a guy's tongue in your mouth, but you're going to eat that?

I dunno, give it a try.

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.

In the one I remember, (and had mentioned in some obscure movie-themed thread on this or another food site), Jane has the egg bubbling away in a stone pot over the fire---she takes it out, whacks it gently all over with a stone-age hatchet, and peels it neatly. She then cuts it into wedges (quite a trick---not a single bit of yolk falls free from the white) and serves it to several tally-ho types with cocktails. (Don't know where she got those).

May I mention a few?

Spaghetti carbonara, served in big bowls in bed

"A little sprinkle of tapioca in the cherry pie, just like Mama did," just before the cook is coaxed down onto the floor with her husband, with her "Apron up around her ears."

(bonus clue: same movie features a roast chicken dinner used to decorate the dining room walls)

Saffodd and Keck

A decapitated chopped-liver chicken

Fairy Tea

LAWN TEA

I love the Coen Brothers, I love Frances McDormand and I loved Fargo :smile:

You got it! The second clue would have been "a buffet with Beef Stroganoff, Swedish Meatballs and Broiled Torsk".
