Need list of movies with poisoned drink scenes
I'm working on a little story and was hoping you could help. I want my character to re-enact several scenes from popular movies in which someone is poisoned with a drink. Anyone got some ideas?

Princess Bride would be a great one to re-enact

Court Jester ~ The flagon with the dragon has the brew that is true. or was that the vessel with pessel? Cause they broke the chalice with the palace which previously contained the brew that was true. Oh forget it.

Yeah, I'm thinking Princess Bride will be in there for sure. I can make Last Crusade work too.
I should mention my character is a kid, so it's a movie a 12 year old would be able to see.
Thanks for the great ones so far, though.

Hamlet (I haven't seen every version, but the '90 comes to mind)

I think one of the murders in "And then There Were None"(1945) was a poisoning. Cyanide I think.
Arsenic and Old Lace.
The Mirror Crack'd
Snow White & the Seven Dwarfs (well, it was an apple instead of a drink)
D.O.A.

Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, sort of.

I remember some movie where it comes out at the Funeral reception that the step parent was poisoning the child. A video tape gets handed to the father, by a little boy I believe, and he watches it at the reception and everyone sees what happened. Sorry I can't remember the name of this film. The Ring maybe?
edit: NM, I realized it was 6th sense. Already posted anyhow :P

Temple of Doom is a bit to re-enact. With the stage fighting, the flaming shish-ka-bobs and all... Princess Bride can be easily done with one person doing both Wesley and Vizzini. Of course, I'm sure there's some great speech Powers Boothe does for the Jim Jones story.
