27 inspired #sundaylunchmovies

Thursday, October 29th, 2015 by Katharine Jacobs

What with the recent release of Burnt and Eat Out editor Abigail Donnelly’s food movie night tonight, we’ve had food movies on the brain lately. Coupled with that, this year, the Eat Out Mercedes-Benz Restaurant Awards will for the first time be announced over Sunday lunch – so we’ve had Sunday roasts on our minds too. Yesterday, we challenged our Twitter followers to come up titles for Sunday lunch movies. Here are some of the thoroughly inspired results.

1. Publicists leak the working title of EL James’s best-selling potboiler.

2. Morgan Freeman shows up just in time and prevents the roast from burning.

3. This is Tom Hanks’s lesser-known role as a rural dairy cow who unwittingly saves all of the cows’ asses.

4. Brad Pitt and custard? Yes, please!

5. Jodie Foster psychoanalyses her portion of shank.

6. A race of genetically modified stegosaurus-sized pigs threaten to eradicate commercial farming as we know it.

7. Bill Murray and Dan Akroyd must save New York City from a team of rampaging roast chickens.

8. The inspiring tale of one man’s quest to transform a watery broth into a sauce with muscle.

13. When Simba’s father passes away, the job of running the butchery falls to him.

14. A tragedy starring Billy Crystal.

15. Elizabeth Taylor joins SASSI.

16. A coming-of-age drama that sees Daniel Radcliffe learn to cook with a magical three-legged pot.

17. Stuck in the fifties, Marty McFly abandons attempts to fix his time machine and instead eats his feelings.

18. A scatological comedy about a man who is mistaken for the braai master and handed the tongs.

19. Nia Vardalos is overwhelmed by her Banting breakfast.

20. Meg Ryan accidentally orders the wrong dish.

21. One fuzzy fruit finds redemption in song.

22. Natalie Portman fights to save the world from tofu.

23. Tarantino’s short-lived cooking show unfortunately went straight to DVD.
