I've seen Big Night and enjoyed it a lot. Haven't seen Babette's Feast. I'll DVR it. Thanks!

Watched a remake of "It Happened One Night" with Claudet Colbert and Clark Gable. It was just two days ago and already I forget the name of the remake. It starred Jack Lemon and June Allison. It held pretty much to the story line, but it's hard to beat Clark Gable and Claudet Colbert. I would say its getting near time for a remake of the remake!! Also I remember being halfway though the remake of A Love Affair with Cary Grant and Jean Kerr...the Warren Beatty and Annette Benning movie....before I realized it was even the same movie!

Sue :) It keeps filtering into my mind at odd times, so I will probably have to see if I can rent it, or something. I can only remember a couple of bits and pieces. I have a hard time at theaters because of the volume, and can not sit close to the front. I think the last time I went to the theater was to see The Help with a group of friends. One is disabled, and had to sit at the back , and I was happy to keep her company. She keep trying to get me to go sit with the other ladies until I told her that I was sitting in the back by choice! She thought I was just sitting with her to be nice. Well, that too!

Aww, I was going to say Big Night! (I went to high school with the fellow who composed the non-Tony-Bennett original music: when they are eating, the clatter of cutlery is actually a composition!) Not about food and wine, but when my friend and I watched I'll See You In My Dreams with the lovely Blythe Danner and lovelier Sam Elliott, we got tipsy just watching the women drink wine. Frequently. We thought it would be a good movie to see at home and drink along with Blythe. Theres an Italian movie where they eat a meal out in the garden, long table, I can't remember e name but I just really want to linger out in the garden over lunch. My Cousin something-or-other?

I just watched Babette's Feast last night, due to the recommendations on this forum. Wow. It's way more than a food movie. It's very deep. It'll have me thinking about it for a long time. I just read some of the history that surrounded it, which explained much about what was going on. Thanks for the recommendation, (even if I was a little slow to act on it.)

Babette's Feast is one of the few movies that I will watch over and over.

I thought you meant Chocolat. I did watch it for the second time in a week. That dinner party they have always looks so good, on top of all the tempering of chocolate, chocolate confections, the hot chocolate, mmm.

Stanley Tucci has a cookbook out with some of the recipes from Big Night. They were originally his own family recipes.
