I'll Name the Food, You Name the Movie

No Googling!

 

Does watching the movie count? It's "A Hard Day's Night" -- spoken by the wonderful Wilfrid Brambell ("He's very clean") playing Ringo's grandfather. He was only 52 at the time but absolutely looked 25 years older in the movie.

 

"...invites to gambling dens full of easy money and fast women, chicken sandwiches and cornets of caviar. Disgusting!"

 

And a little later, at the "gambling den": "A glass of the ol' Chablis to wash down a gesture of giblets wouldn't go amiss."

Indeed. But he plays Paul's grandfather; not Ringo's

There are no more outstanding unsolved movie clues.

 

11. Submitted by Thanks for the Crepes: This one features donuts in an armored car in an already flooded town that is downstream from an old dam that's questionable under the circumstances, and eventually bursts during the movie, further flooding the town.

 

The answer to this was "Hard Rain" from 1998 with Morgan Freeman.

Congratulations to @Alex for this hard solution.

 

I'm glad there are no unresolved movie clues. I'm forced to resign as organizer of this thread due to family illness. This thread was a lot of fun, though.

Paul's grandfather. Great movie.

Oops, yes. Thanks.

I gave my daughter that movie eight years ago, when she was 15 and had a huge thing for the Beatles. 

 

She wasn't your typical Millennial teen. I remember overhearing her on the phone with a friend, venting at length over how Patty Andrews' (of the Andrews Sisters) comedic chops were under-rated by movie buffs. On another occasion, when I asked her what she was doing, she told me she was making up a playlist of "a few of my favorite Cab Calloway songs" for the same friend. Mind you, she also had a blast singing along to the Ramones and X so it's not like she had just chosen the big-band era as her "thing."

That is terrific! It sounds like you were (and probably still are) a great dad. In my mid-teens I enjoyed Frank Sinatra and other "standards" (Mel Torme, et al.), usually on WNEW-AM, iirc. I think this also was an in-car compromise with my dad. I was fortunate than my parents never overtly criticized my listening to rock per se -- only my preferred volume. Then again, they'd also ask me to turn it down when I was listening to Beethoven.

I remember getting all teary-eyed when she and her brother regaled me with a spot-on rendition of "Lydia the Tattoed Lady."
