The French dinner in Apocalypse Now (1979). It didn’t make the final cut.

The first time I ever heard the term “sushi” uttered. Also, a favorite film. That’s my generation.

Elliot Gould (as Philip Marlowe) goes to the supermarket at 3 am to get cat food for his pet’s dinner in “The Long Goodbye” (1973) directed by Robert Altman. Once the cat realizes that it’s not his favorite brand, he refuses to eat and runs away. The relevant part starts at the 5:06 mark but the whole 10 minutes is worth watching…

Not from a movie but a clip from a bar restaurant, this is in honor of Bert Bacharach who passed away recently.
From YouTube -
Dionne Warwick sings ‘Walk on By’’ at age 24 live in an intimate restaurant bar, the ‘27 Club’ in Knokke, Belgium, on New Year’s Eve 1964. The Burt Bacharach/Hal David protege on the cusp of fame.

I missed that about Burt Bacharach; thank you.
Dionne recently had a documentary or similar.

Man… thinking about the context of San Jose in *Do You Know The Way to San Jose " then and now. How different the sixties were. At least in some ways.

2011 Sci Fi movie “Perfect Sense” includes scenes of a chef creating and discerning diners enjoying food/meals that still satisfy as the population loses one sense at a time, starting with smell going on to taste.
From Wikipedia
“Perfect Sense is a 2011 science fiction romantic drama film directed by David Mackenzie, written by Kim Fupz Aakeson and starring Eva Green and Ewan McGregor.[1] In the film, a chef (McGregor) and a scientist (Green) fall in love as an epidemic begins to rob people of their sensory perceptions.”

Thank you for doing a great job of posting the article. I couldn’t get the scanner to do justice and a I am lousy at graphic composition on these new fangled machines.

That was an exquisite film. Don’t know that the food scenes would be my favourite, although there was an interesting part where the restaurant focussed on texture because no one could smell or taste anything.
Also a standout memory: Right before a sense would go, people became ravenous and one scene showed a person eating a tube of lipstick. Or so I recall. It’s been a while.

The movie was, indeed, scary. But memorable!

Not a scene but an entire movie: Babette’s Feast. Glad to see that others here have also claimed it as their favourite too.
