The Chocolate Room in Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory

This mention does NOT apply to the very frightening Johnny Depp remake.

How hungry I am: VERY. I knew I wanted to include a photo of Gene Wilder eating the teacup because I loved that scene when I was growing up. My life goal has always been to drink tea and then eat the cup afterwards. That’s it, I don’t aspire to do anything else. Also I would definitely drink the chocolate river. Also this movie is kinda messed up.

Anytime Keri Russell makes a pie in Waitress

I watched this movie on an airplane once and remember feeling incredibly sad for all of the characters, but the movie trailer (which I just re-watched to check out the pies) made it look like some quirky romantic comedy.

How hungry I am: Pie is one of those foods where I always think I love it and then when I’m actually eating it, I start wishing I were eating something else. That being said, watching Keri Russell baking makes me think maybe I actually do love pie. The most alluring one is the “Pregnant, Miserable, Self-Pitying Loser Pie,” which not only has a name that almost entirely resonates with me (minus “Pregnant”), but is a mix of oatmeal and fruitcake, which sounds amazing.

The whole “I Want Candy” scene in Marie Antoinette

I think I am one out of maybe 10 people who really loved this movie and still makes references to it. Actually, a lot of people I know hated it. This is one of my favorite movie scenes ever. EVER.

How hungry I am: Starving!!!! Famished!!! The cupcakes! The icing! The fruit! The jelly! This is WHY I want to marry into ROYALTY — to be surrounded by baked goods at all times! And, unrelated to the food, but someone remind me to incorporate more feathers into my outfits.

The strudel and cream in Inglorious Basterds

I can barely pay attention to the dialogue in this scene because this looks so good.

How hungry I am: Like the pies in Waitress, I don’t think I’m a big strudel fan. But the cream!!!!!!!!!

Pretty much every single scene in Jiro Dreams of Sushi

This documentary made me incredibly emotional.

How hungry I am: The sushi looks like art to me, I would be afraid to eat it for that reason — it all just looks so perfect and dainty. I’ve never had egg custard, but I want to try it. WOULD LOVE to have dinner with Jiro and his entire family. I wonder if he’d be repulsed if I told him I eat sushi from a makeshift deli in the basement of my apartment building.

All of the food scenes in Chef, but especially the part where Jon Favreau makes a grilled cheese

Seriously. I used to microwave bread and cheese to make grilled cheeses at 3AM in college. This is like ASMR to me.

How hungry I am: Slight advantage to this movie because it’s all about food, but I’d saw off my hand for one of the Cuban sandwiches they make.
