Ever get HUNGRY from watching a movie because of the food that was shown?
Every time I see the Big Kahuna burger during Pulp Fiction, my mouth waters.
Same with:
-the ramen noodles in Tampopo
-Paulie's sausages in Goodfellas
-John Malkovich's spaghetti in In the Line of Fire
How about you?

The Meaning of Life's "One Thin Mint" gets me every time. I'm always hungry during Half Baked, but I'm not sure why. Actually, I'm getting hungry just reading this thread.

In Hong Kong kung fu movies they're always sitting down to eat in a roadside tavern or the local official's home and they have these great spreads of Chinese food (real Chinese food and not what we get here in the U.S.). Unfortunately, someone always starts a fight before they get to take a bite. And I get upset at all the food going to waste. But in one film, THE BRAVE ARCHER (1977), the hero and heroine share an expensive, gourmet meal and they actually get to eat it all without being interrupted. And she outlines each dish she's ordering, too.
In THE IRON MONKEY (1993), the hero is cooking a meal and slices off pieces of noodle paste and sends them flying across the room into the wok on the stove. All without wires. I'd love to eat a meal cooked like that.

What about the Ocean's movies - Brad Pitt is eating/snacking on something in almost every scene he is in. Makes me want to snack on something.

I had to pause Fast Food Nation so that I could grill a couple burgers for myself. Not joking.

I had Burger King after watching Robert Downey Jr. devour those burgers in Iron Man. Watching Harold and Kumar having their White Castle feast also gives me the munchies.

When I'm watching Silence of the Lambs, I find myself being in the mood for some fava beans and a nice chia...
I'm kidding of course. I can't recall a single time I ever became hungry specifically because of a movie scene.

Babette's Feast makes me starved for some quality food.
The scene in Fargo where Marge and Norm are eating at the buffet makes me really hungry - even though the food is probably horrible.

The scene in Asterix and the Twelve Tasks where Obelix has to eat everything served to him by the chef of the gods. Just thinking about that scene makes me hungry.

Iron Monkey. He is always cooking, when not kicking someone ass.

I wouldn't mind taking a bite from the steak in The Matrix. Fanny & Alexander drives me crazy about hot chocolate, attributed to Swedish style. On the contrary, Sakura Drops in Grave of the Fireflies does not make me hungry.
