I'll Name the Food, You Name the Movie

This might be too easy...

chalky tasting dessert

←

Rosemary's Baby. Chocolate mousse, if memory serves.

edited to add: Whoops. Looks like Human Bean got it first.

caroled was correct---71 was Father of the Bride #2---sorry.

We didn't confer on these, and after she posted, she left for work, calling back over her shoulder, "We'll have the chipper chicken!!!" My feeble mind took it as confirmation, just because. Sorry I didn't post to clear it.

And re: Rosemary's baby: "No, Guy; it has a chalky aftertaste."

Thanks for omitting the reflected-in-the-toaster liver-gorging moment.

[Human Bean]

And re: Rosemary's baby: "No, Guy; it has a chalky aftertaste."

Actually, I believe that's chalky undertaste. (If memory serves.)

Also, one of the characters (Ruth Gordon?) refers to the dessert as 'chocolate mouse' somewhere along the way (again IIRC.)

[oneidaone]

a new one:

VERY nervous chef sends a dish of beautifully rare pigeon breast out to a VIP customer. Customer's comments: "inventive... and creative"

←

My Best Friends Wedding?

←

Yes, and she also says "I'll write it up as confident....." Charlie Trotter

and Guiliiermo Tellez are in those cameo roles. He says he'll kill

Guillermo's family if it's not right. I was so wanting to add this movie

I am glad you did!

[GordonCooks]

hint for #49 - "hearty bean soup with ham hock"

[insomniac]

is no. 55 'Because I Said So'???

[insomniac]

sorry, double post

You and your charming marmalady cat are quite right. I've seen the movie twice, I think, once this year, and both times were quite impressive---the first time was on a DATE at a drive-in movie---with my younger sister sitting in the back seat.

I was trying to think how I would spell Mia's classy diction, learnt at the knee of the elegant Jane herself, and thinking of Ah-fta put me on the wrong track.

I blush. Carry on.

New movie food...could be easy:

a steak that comes alive; a cooked chicken leg that turns maggoty (to coin a new word ) and then isn't; a pot of sauce cooking on the stove.

[Toliver]

is no. 55 'Because I Said So'???

You are correct!

SPOILERS (If you haven't seen the movie stop reading and scroll past if you don't want the plot to be spoiled for you)

The daughter makes individual chocolate soufflés twice in the movie. One time they turn out perfect and then other time they don't. She takes it as a sign about her choice of men.

Hey, some people read tea leaves...she reads chocolate soufflés!

Poltergeist

Quite correct!

[Human Bean]

Getting a bit 'out there'.... Far from a good foodstuff, and far from a good film (great cast though):

Daughter: She ate batteries!

Father: What?

Daughter: She took three D batteries out of a paper bag and ate 'em. She flattened 'em like a tootsie roll wrapper.

[waterdogs]

Tolliver: THANK YOU SO MUCH for your recaps. This thread would be crazy without them!!

76. Cans of orange soda with the brand name "Jump"

CLUE: The Big Woo

Joe vs. the Volcano ?

[djyee100]

Daughter: She ate batteries!

Father: What?

Daughter: She took three D batteries out of a paper bag and ate 'em. She flattened 'em like a tootsie roll wrapper.

My Stepmother Is An Alien with Kim Basinger. Remember the weirdo spaceship dress she wore that was made from hula hoops? That was a bonafide Paris couture dress that year--Pierre Cardin.

[Arey]

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.

Clue:There's a long, long trail a-winding

Correct, djyee!

Also starring Dan Aykroyd and a ~13 year-old Allison Hannigan.

[Human Bean]

Another easy one; this one won't last long - about the same as the life expectancy of the cook after it was served:

Puerco pibil.

[racheld]

Once upon a time. . .

Anything with Johnny D gets my attention.

[Human Bean]

Once upon a time. ..

...In Mexico is correct, racheld!

Cochinita pibil is indeed a fabulous dish, too - I first heard about it via the movie and the "Ten Minute Cooking School" on the DVD (which is less than 10 minutes, BTW.) Whenever I make it, everything in my apartment smells quite interesting for a few days.

[Toliver]

Hey Kids! What time is it? It's time for another recap!

Please don't assign numbers to your new movie foods...if a movie is solved before it gets put into a recap, I don't give it a number since it's out of play.

Also, we're getting some repeat movies. Try not to use "Cool Hand Luke", "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom" and "Dirty Dancing" as they've all been used twice.

**Some new clues have been added to the movies still in play

CONGRATULATIONS TO:

-caroled has correctly guessed that #71 (Saffodd and Keck) is the Steve Martin version of "Father of the Bride".

-HannaBanana solved "VERY nervous chef sends a dish of beautifully rare pigeon breast out to a VIP customer. Customer's comments: 'inventive... and creative' " as the film "My Best Friends Wedding".

-insomniac is current in her movie going because she solved #55 (Movie food = individual chocolate soufflés CLUE: The main character's daughter runs a catering company) as the new Diane Keaton film "Because I Said So".

-racheld correctly solved "a steak that comes alive; a cooked chicken leg that turns maggoty (to coin a new word) and then isn't; a pot of sauce cooking on the stove) as the Tobe Hooper film "Poltergeist". She also solved "Another easy one; this one won't last long - about the same as the life expectancy of the cook after it was served: Puerco pibil" as the film "Once Upon a Time in Mexico".

-waterdogs solved the scant clue for #76 (Cans of orange soda with the brand name "Jump" CLUE: The Big Woo) as the Tom Hanks film "Joe vs. the Volcano"

-djyee100 correctly guessed that " Daughter: 'She ate batteries!' Father: 'What?' Daughter: 'She took three D batteries out of a paper bag and ate 'em. She flattened 'em like a tootsie roll wrapper.' " was the film "My Stepmother Is An Alien".

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

WAITING FOR CONFIRMATION:

-reefpimp has guessed that #66 is "Hairspray".

We also know:

#49 is not "Lilies of the Field"

#67 is not "Memoirs of a Geisha" or "Monsters, Inc."

#68 is not "I Love You to Death"

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

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

You got both of them right! I am amazed you got "The Goonies" on such a barebones clue. Well done!
