Oh, and there's Rare Birds (2001) with William Hurt. It is also set in a
restaurant, and has several scenes set in the kitchen and dining area. Some
scenes are pedestrian, but one is a romantic exchange between Hurt and Molly
Parker.

Also, Rear Window. Grace Kelly has a swanky cooked meal delivered to Jimmy
Stewart's apartment. There really isn't any actual consumption-other than
of pre-meal wine-but the conversation surrounding the events of the evening
(she plans to sleep over) makes it an interesting table-setter (pun intended
;-)).

And finally, When Harry Met Sally...the scene in the restaurant when Meg
Ryan fakes an orgasm. Now THAT'S a discussion starter.

Subject: [Videolib] Feature Film Scenes re: Food / Counseling

Dear CW,

Here's a fun one... I've been asked to come up with a list of feature films
for a nutrition counseling class that show how people may use food to cope,
doctor or counselor/patient interaction, or food rituals in the home. She
is not necessarily looking for films where food is an overarching theme --
rather, films with scenes that can be used as a discussion-starter to liven
up a lecture. A few ideas that the prof. has come up with already are:

Patch Adams
Soul Food
Two Weeks Notice
Parenthood
The Doctor
Bridget Jones Diary

A couple of others with key scenes that I'm thinking of are:

Candy
Pieces of April
Spanglish (though I haven't seen it)
Fried Green Tomatoes

I keep wanting to recommend the 'Itis episode of The Boondocks, but I don't
quite thing that's what she's after ;) . If anyone can recall / recommend
specific scenes (in case I haven't seen the film in question recently), I'd
be very appreciative.

Thanks in advance,

VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control, preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and related institutions. It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and distributors.
