If I've learned one thing from this list, it's that a family never sits down at the dinner in a movie to have a nice, quiet meal—some shit's going down. Whether it's your mom trying to grab your crotch, your dad becoming possessed by an evil spirit named Bob, or just your average alien chestburster stopping by for a visit, movies always seem to produce some of their best moments at the dinner table. So let's sit back and get awkward:
***SPOILERS***
2 Days in Paris (2007)
Meeting the parents can be rough...especially when they've seen a naked photo of you with a balloon hanging from your penis. Awfully specific, yet nonetheless awkward as shit, the conversation arc of Jack's dinner with Marion's family takes many turns, from a discussion of literature to being forced to eat a freshly killed bunny, all (of course) made slightly more difficult by the language barrier. And hanging over it all is a single photo that almost tears the couple apart.
8½ (1963)
Guido was a bit of a player, but he always had trouble keeping track of his ladies' whereabouts for the sake of his loving wife. But lo and behold, why not just escape into a fantasy? Transporting himself back in time, the 20 or so women flooding Guido's life gather at his childhood dinner table and fight for his affection through various silly acts. Awkward for demeaning themselves, yes, but perhaps more so because of Guido's pathetic state of mind.
28 Days Later (2002)
The soldiers may have been ecstatic for the excitement, but it was quite the abrupt moment when dozens of zombies interrupted our main characters' dinner by storming the courtyard. There are actually quite a few awkward dinner scenes in 28 Days Later, with power struggles between Jim and the house leader...and that moment Major Henry West spit out those nasty scrambled eggs. They weren't the best hosts, maybe?
Alice in Wonderland (1951)
A moment we're all glad Lewis Carroll had some hypnopompic experiences in his lifetime. A classic scene from one of Disney's best animated films, Alice becomes continually more and more frustrated with the March Hare and the Hatter' ridiculous riddles before eventually storming off. And when the Hatter reveals their tea party never ends because of a curse, you just, errrrr, don't really know what to say to that.
Alien (1979)
Do I need to preface this one? You're eating dinner, you're all laughing, you're all safe...and then John Hurt has to hog all the attention. What a rude guy!
American Beauty (1999)
"Will someone please pass the fucking asparagus?"
No? OK, I'll come over and get it.
American History X (1998)
It's hard to track where such hate and prejudice can stem from, but for Derek Vinyard, it may have very well started during a conversation with his father over dinner, in which they discussed affirmative action and if it was a fair practice. Unsure of himself at the time, the monster Derek becomes is a reflection of this rather awkward moment, and just how dark the human soul can become.
Another Year (2010)
Mary just cannot seem to keep her thoughts off Tom and Gerri's son, and it creates for quite a few awkward moments, culminating in the final scene where Mary stares at two happy couples at the dinner table and wonders if there's any hope for love at her late age.
Annie Hall (1977)
"The woman at the end of the table is a classic Jew hater."
Ain't it the truth. Ever feel like you just can't win with the in-laws? Can't say anything right? Can't help but be Jewish? Well, apparently Woody Allen does.
The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford (2007)
Talk about power plays. Brad Pitt commands the scene through Jesse James, subtly insulting and tearing apart the wide-eyed Robert throughout a dinner at the Ford's home. The more frustrated and embarrassed Robert Ford becomes, the closer he comes to the point where he flies of the wagon and plots murder.
Away We Go (2009)
"The pain from childbirth is really enlightening."
Yes it is...you pretentious bitch. Anyway, there are few times I've been more satisfied with a film than when Burt places Roderick and LN's son into a stroller and races away from them around their home. Suck it, hippies!
Back to the Future (1985)
The only thing more awkward than sitting down to have dinner with your grandparents from 30 years ago is having your mother trying to grab you underneath the table. Oh, the moral gray areas...
Beetlejuice (1988)
Shake, shake, shake, Señora, shake your body line
Shake, shake, shake, Señora, shake it all the time
Work, work, work, Señora, work your body line
Work, work, work, Señora, work it all the time
(Jump in de line, rock your body in time) OK, I believe you!
The Birdcage (1996)
A classic dinner scene where nothing can seem to go right. Armand, Barbara, and Val must all pretend Albert is Mrs. Coleman, all the while discussing with homoerotic china and eating hard-boiled egg and shrimp soup.
"Goddamn it! Fuck the shrimp!"
The Break-Up (2006)
Aren't harmonies fun? Well, maybe not when your brother-in-law is in your face, wailing the first lines of "Owner of a Lonely Heart", and then forcing each member of the dinner table to join in one by one. I don't know, I'm a Yes fan, so I don't see what the big deal is...
A Christmas Story (1983)
"Randy, how do the little piggies go? That's right. Oink, oink! Now show me how the piggies eat."
The look on the dad's face: priceless.
Citizen Kane (1941)
Wanna watch a marriage crumble in just two minutes? The Artist may mimic this infamous scene, but it doesn't carry nearly as much weight, as the egocentric and power-hungry Kane destroys his marriage through a commitment to his work and a stubborn mindset.
"You never should have married a newspaperman. They’re worse than sailors. I absolutely adore you." Which is why I'm going to become emotionally abusive.
Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977)
I hate mashed potatoes, so I applaud Richard Dreyfuss for his work. Just wish he didn't feel compelled to do so with his family sitting there...
Donnie Darko (2001)
"Oh, please, tell me, Elizabeth, how exactly does one suck a fuck?"
I don't have the answer to that question, but I do know that it's, yeah, sort of awkward when your kids starting inventing new "fuck" insults while your young, impressionable daughter watches on.
Drag Me to Hell (2009)
The worst time to meet your boyfriend's parents? How about when you're possessed by an evil spirit? A pretty hilarious scene that culminates in an eyeball popping out of Christine's homemade harvest cake, it's nonetheless awkward because of the mother-in-law's preemptive disapproval and inability to be satisfied. Wonder if evil ancient spirits turn her off her as well?
Edward Scissorhands (1990)
Remember the first time you used utensils? Bet it wasn't as hard as this.
Eraserhead (1977)
Oh David Lynch, you just love imagery and metaphors so much, don't you? Well I'm not complaining, because he gave us this hilarious and incredibly awkward dinner scene. I don't blame Henry for not understanding how to act when Mary's mother abruptly goes into a trance and then bawls her brains out. Maybe he shouldn't have symbolically taken Mary's virginity and planted a child in her when he cut open that chicken and blood spilled onto the plate? I don't know, maybe.
El ángel exterminador [The Exterminating Angel] (1962)
Maybe what's most awkward is the impending doom of what's to follow, but the actual dinner scene in The Exterminating Angel is full of snobbish elites exchanging slight insults and laughing at clumsy butlers. And the initial power plays that plague our guests in the living room are established right here. I don't blame the service workers for getting the hell out of there...
Festen [The Celebration] (1998)
It's got to be awkward for a family to gather for dinner after their daughter commits suicide. Even worse would be when the son accuses the father of sexually abusing the twins as children...in front of everyone.
Funny People (2009)
After cheating on her husband, Laura must sit down with her husband Clarke and her former lover George and have a rather strange dinner, made all the more awkward by Clarke's belief that George still has cancer. And then Ira automatically makes any situation twice as awkward, so yeah.
Gosford Park (2001)
Even snobbier than The Exterminating Angel? Perhaps. Mixed in with the Clue-like murder-mystery is a clear back-and-forth class warfare between elites and super-elites, shown through various seating arrangements at the dinner table that leave people like Renee to occupy empty chairs, all the while creating intense bitterness and senses of impending betrayal.
The Great Dictator (1940)
In order to decide who will sacrifice their own life to murder the oppressive dictator, the barber and his guests leave it to chance. Each presented with a bowl of pudding, the one who discovers a coin in his treat must become the "hero". Too bad nobody actually wants the burden, which produces a rather brilliant scene where the barber and his comrades pass the deadly pudding between one another when they're not looking, and we witness the barber swallow several coins in the process.
Guess Who's Coming to Dinner (1967)
A well-off, handsome doctor completely capable of supporting his daughter, the revelation of John's race (he's black?!) puts Matt's liberal ideals to the test in a rather awkward dinner moment.
Hannibal (2001)
Looking back on Hannibal...yeah, I wish it didn't exist. But I'm almost glad it does for one scene: where he eats Ray Liotta's brains. Forget Goodfellas, this is Liotta's defining moment.
Hesher (2010)
There are several awkward dinner moments in Hesher, maybe all stemming from the fact that Hesher is eating there against the father's will. It's also sort of awkwardly tragic to witness the grandmother asking if anybody will go on a walk with her, only to hear crickets. Hesher's a good guy after all, ain't he?
Home for the Holidays (1995)
Gotta love dysfunctional families. Had a bad Thanksgiving dinner before? Bet it wasn't like this. After an awkward
Hysteria (2011)
As Mortimer sits down to have dinner with his boss, he has to deal with the awkward shifting eyes Emily, only to be interrupted by the loud and boisterous Charlotte, who storms into dinner and continues to speak about women's rights and stuff, because apparently that's what she cares about.
The Ice Storm (1997)
"Dear Lord, thank you for this Thanksgiving holiday. And for all the material possessions we have and enjoy. And for letting us white people kill all the Indians and steal their tribal lands. And stuff ourselves like pigs, even though children in Asia are being napalmed."
The end.
Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984)
I don't think Hindu people eat monkey brains and snakes...or if it was a bit of social commentary on the ignorance of Americans...all I know is this is Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, so I don't really care all that much. But it's gloriously awkward to watch Willie's (due to awful acting?) face configure into something comically absurd at the sight of it all. You know, it's rude not to finish everything on your plate.
The Kids Are All Right (2010)
Well...yeah. It's awkward for EVERYONE when the children's surrogate father sits down to have dinner after being absent for 18-or-so years. Why is he there again? Oh look, more awkward.
Knocked Up (2007)
"Because he likes breakfast so much."
Best way to explain to an eight-year-old girl why a hairy, out-of-shape man is eating eggs and toast with Katherine Heigl.
"We're gonna have a baby!"
Most abrupt and awkward way to explain to an eight-year-old girl why a hairy, out-of-shape man is eating eggs and toast with Katherine Heigl.
Martha Marcy May Marlene (2011)
Ted and Martha get into a bit of a heated discussion over dinner regarding, you know, the point of life and stuff. It's all made slightly more awkward by Martha's inability to defend her point because, you know, she's been in a cult for a few years. Is it just me, or do they both, you know, seem wrong?
Martyrs (2008)
I'm now thankful for my quiet mornings at the breakfast table with the family. But then again, my suburban parents didn't run a torture ring through my basement (that I'm aware of), so there are no hell-bent teens gunning to light up my entire family with a shotgun.
Meet the Parents (2000)
The only thing more awkward than being offered to milk Robert De Niro's nipples is accidentally smashing his mother's urn and spreading her ashes about the carpet. The situation MIGHT have been fixable if the cat hadn't stepped in...
Melancholia (2011)
Awkward wedding toasts! This time it involves some heated inner-family debates, showing that some people's egos are just too damn big to leave the fighting at home—you need an audience.
National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation (1989)
Alright you gotta choose: would you rather have a turkey tossed into your lap by Robert Downey Jr. or eat this dried-out treat from Chevy Chase's dinner table? Either scenario comes with a sarcastic remark.
Nothing But Trouble (1991)
It's enough to make you never want to eat a brat again. Or eat period.
The Nutty Professor (1996)
"Mashed potatoes give me gas."
"Big, small, medium, midgets."
"Nigger used to be the black Pavarotti."
Farting, burping, wheezing...and more farting.
And then Sherman has to introduce his girlfriend.
Prästänkan [The Parson's Widow] (1920)
When Söfren sits down for some good ole cornish hen, little does he know he's about to become so drunk (and possibly cursed?) that he agrees to marrying a woman old enough to be his grandmother. I know he's required as parson and all, but still...
시 [Poetry] (2010)
Mija's dinner table is a feeding ground for awkwardness, but most gratingly so when she reveals her knowledge of her grandson's partaking in a group rape, which led to the young girl committing suicide. I know Mija was upset, but did she have to place the poor girl's photo on the dinner table?
Punch-Drunk Love (2002)
I think we all know the lesson from this dinner: don't make fun of emotionally challenged individuals with violent tendencies. That is unless you REALLY don't care about your sliding glass doors.
Rachel Getting Married (2008)
"Hey Rachel, was that the guy with the peroxide hair?"
Kudos to Kym for livening up a rather boring, random, elongated toast about a driving excursion with Rachel. The chirping crickets after each "punchline" are hilarious with Kym's expressions, but otherwise a bit uncomfortable.
Raging Bull (1980)
Well, they aren't eating (although there's a slightly awkward eating scene with Jake eating too much food?), but they're at the dinner table, and Jake is asking his brother to punch him in the face. Talk about self-destructive...
The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975)
Dinner is served! Hope you like Meat Loaf...
Fact: one of the least weird things to happen in The Rocky Horror Picture Show.
Santa's Slay (2005)
In what is surely to be remembered as James Caan's greatest cinematic moment, he sits around the dinner table with his family, only to be murdered by Santa Claus in a gloriously absurd and funny scene.
Scent of a Woman (1992)
Hey, it's that movie Al Pacino won an Oscar for! But really now: why would you EVER disrespect Al Pacino? He'll grab your fuckin' neck and mmmmmmmm forget about it...
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974)
If the incessant screaming of that poor girl didn't make it awkward enough, perhaps it was the grunting, wheezing, and cringe-worthy guffawing of the deformed family forcing her to dine with them.
東京物語 [Tokyo Story] (1953)
It must suck to have such shitty children, but perhaps more so when they can't even stick around to comfort you after your wife has just died. One by one Shukishi's children discuss how quickly they plan to abandon their father in order to catch the next convenient train, and each time it's more and more depressing.
To Rome With Love (2012)
Woody Allen at the dinner table again, eh? Well it might actually be more awkward than Annie Hall, because this time Allen is forcing himself upon a host, begging for him to enter into the opera business, despite the fact that the man and his son are adamantly against it.
Toy Story (1995)
I don't care if you're a toy or not, it'd be majorly awkward for a little girl to dress you up as "Mrs. Nesbit" and force you to attend a tea party.
The Tree of Life (2011)
You probably shouldn't be insulting your hard-nosed father at the dinner table, especially when he has the tendency to slap you around. In a family that's already unstable and falling apart, it seemed like the last straw for the O'Brien family, as Mr. O'Brien soon after leaves the house for a few weeks and the children rejoice.
Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me (1992)
Ah yes: that awkward moment when your dad becomes possessed by an evil spirit. We don't know exactly when Laura Palmer makes this discovery, but it could have been at the dinner table with Leland grabs her face and interrogates her about her necklace. All while the whiny mother watches on—thanks again, David Lynch.
The Turin Horse (2011)
In what is both an awkward and cripplingly depressing scene, we witness the daughter to cease eating her potatoes, to which her father questions, and then slowly falls into the same airy state, realizing—all at once—how meaningless and inconsequential their lives truly are.
ลุงบุญมีระลึกชาติ [Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives] (2010)
Ghosts and fairy tales are nothing new for Apichatpong Weerasethakul, who decides to interrupts one of Boonmee's last meals with the presence of his deceased sister in ghost form and his son in demon monkey form at the dinner table. Beautiful, haunting, and altogether awkward to see your loved ones once again.
Wedding Crashers (2005)
You know what: I'd take a handjob from Isla Fisher under the table.
