List RulesVote up the best movie scenes that feature characters eating at the dinner table.
"Dinner scenes" may not have the same automatic exciting ring to it that something like "chase scenes" or "fight scenes" do, but done properly, a well-executed dinner scene can be as tense, awkward, scary, funny, ridiculous, imporant, or memorable as anything else. Plus it's the most relatable setting in the world -- we've been in our fair share of uncomfortable or hilarious dining experiences, and few (if any!) high speed car chases.
Get yourself something to eat and vote up your favorite dinner scenes from the list below, whether comedic, dramatic, or even musical.
