to check out our other videos yes good

all right number 10 the chicken and the

pot overboard I hunted you cook it

goldie Hawn's character feels as though

she's never done this before in her life

and that's because she quite clearly

hasn't done Kurt Russell has performed

his manly duties by providing a chicken

for the family meal

now Hahn must weave her womanly ways by

cooking it come on honey save the jokes

were starving here while the male's

intellectually stimulate themselves by

balancing spoons on noses Hahn finds

mounting frustration when the food just

won't fit in the pan okay goddamn

chickens in there in convenient shape

and goddamn gas with its flammable

qualities

number nine I love butter Julie and

Julia yesterday was Tuesday August 13

2002 if the 21st century has taught us

anything it's that food blogging is the

way forward 364 days to go and if 2009's

filmic food blogger Julie Powell taught

us anything it's that everything is

better with butter and let me say this

is there anything better than butter in

this scene Amy Adams character lets us

in on her love for the stuff as she

points out the obvious fact that we've

never really realized the answer is

always going to be butter sure butters

not too healthy or especially appetizing

to look at but put a generous helping of

it into almost anything and everything

is a little or a lot more enjoyable you

can never have too much number eight

making breakfast this is the end there's

a time and a place to make a full and

wholesome fry up and this is neither

I'm sure the Green Goblin can have

rewards more bacon Danny McBride has

somehow managed to miss the apocalypse

but he's reliably and regrettably

awakened time for breakfast oblivious to

the newfound need for nutritional

rationing McBride makes himself a meal

fit for kings

which royally winds up the rest of his

friends there are taboo moves tenfold

within this three minutes of film but

the bottled water to bare feet has to be

the most hilarious

number seven

homemade seafood dinner Annie Hall you

just call the police about 9-1-1 it's

the lobster squad love can work in

mysterious ways especially when it comes

to the kitchen in a movie filled with

iconic Woody Allen and Diane Keaton

moments this combination of lobsters and

laughing is an especially sweet scene

the shellfish are scattered all across

the floor the humans are hop skip and

jumping their way into a frenzy is a big

lobster behind the refrigerator I can't

get it out in terms of actual food

preparation there's just one lobster in

the pot and progress is slow but the

intention is there and that's what

counts

you've got steaks they don't have legs

they don't run away number six home

economics and hormones super bad hey

Jules

you're firing income today cooking in

the classroom is usually more fun than

the average lesson at school but in this

scene Jonah Hill is probably having too

much of a good time

Oh nuts joke paired with the delightful

daydream inhabiting Emma Stone Hills

character just can't control himself

the two are meant to be making tiramisu

but clearly this teenage boy is making a

lot more of something else inside his

head

it's childish and stupid but seriously

funny in an embarrassing awkward almost

got caught caught away

number five professional prep chef from

the playful to the professional

sometimes food preparation doesn't need

to be dressed up as anything but exactly

what it is in the opening to 2014's chef

we are treated to some five-star slicing

dicing cutting and general kitchen eight

all right good

for many making food is akin to making

music painting a picture or sculpting a

statue it's an art form it's difficult

to argue with that

it's the glance away that does it any

normal person would lose three fingers

if they did that

number four brain stew Hannibal come on

Graham so you've got the recipe you're

comfortable with executing the recipe

now all you need are the ingredients for

the recipe and at the top of your list

is human brain you see the brain itself

feels no pain perish that that concerns

you

food preparation at Hannibal Lecter's

house is unlike anywhere else yeah

here's the container bank while the

typical right-minded individual might

cut a carrot or skin a potato Lecter has

scalped a victim and dissected some

vital organs that's great I would really

like simple very little has been left to

the imagination in this scene as the

prefrontal lobe fries and spits like a

rasher of smoked bacon just think about

what I said carries

number three soup improvements

ratatouille even animated food can

appear appetizing when prepared right

ratatouille as a title expertly combines

the breed of critter around which the

movie is based and a dish that Remi can

no doubt rustle up with ease in this

particular scene however soup is on the

menu only it would have disappointed

were it not for one pest blessed with a

heightened sense of smell

it's poetry in motion until the light is

switched on at which point a rat in the

kitchen really isn't as bad as it looks

number two

cooking is hard mrs. Doubtfire this is

les can't cook won't cook and more will

cook can't cook it's Robin Williams

first day as mrs. Doubtfire the accented

nanny created in order for him to get

closer to his kids again and he's

immediately wreaking chaos in the

kitchen his pinch of basil packs quite

the punch and when the water boils over

he all but falls over still at least

he's got a hot body although not in the

conventional sense it's comedy culinary

gold before we unveil our top pick here

are some honorable mentions

- sir

stop

krisi over by the war bring me the big

knife no Ronnie

number one food preparation in prison

Goodfellas in prison dinner was always a

big thing prison food shouldn't

particularly inspire peckish nests but

try sitting through this scene without

reaching for the snacks Vinnie was in

charge of the tomato sauce

the mob makes supper in the slammer look

like fine dining as they piece together

a plate full of ingredients to put us

regular Schmucks to shame Johnny Deal

did the meat we didn't have a broiler so

Johnny did everything in pans I used to

smell up the joint something awful in

the hacks used to die but he still

cooked a great steak garlic cut with a

razor blade multi meatballs steak cooked

- personal preferences a choice of red

or white wine and the rest of us

innocent people are making do with a

microwave dinner these wise guys are the

overwhelming winners here I'll put so

many onions in the sauce I didn't put

too much on do you agree with our list
