Five Favorite Movie Foods

Sometimes, watching an actor eat on screen makes me hungry.  These are my five favorite movie meals:
 
In 2001: A Space Odyssey, there's a big space cooler of sandwiches which the scientists raid, hungry from their briefing, on their way to the crater.  Man, are those guys hungry!  There's the snack in the woods in Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead (God, that tomato!), and the food Aunt Beru makes for Uncle Owen in Star Wars in the plastic blue bowls.  I've always wanted to know where Riggs got his hot dog in Koreatown in Lethal Weapon.  He drove all the way across town for that hot dog!  Lastly, the coney stew in Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (PO-TA-TOES!) looks like it rivals the best bisques of provincial France.
 
But if I had to ask for one thing to eat from a movie, I'd ask for that cooler of space-sandwiches.  Damn you, cooler of space-sandwiches - you've taunted me for a lifetime!
