Hi all
I'm putting together a particularly tasty accolade called Bite Me. It will consist of films featuring actors who have foodstuff last names. Here's the list:
Tim Curry
Halle Berry
Jack Lemmon
Kevin Bacon
Virginia Mayo
Sean Bean
John Candy
Meat Loaf
Warren Oates
What I'd like you to do is to visit any/all of their links and pick ONE FILM ONLY -- YOUR FAVORITE for each person. Then post your choices here. The films with the most mentions will be the ones that feature in my accolade.
That way the acc should be within the reach of everyone and not an assault of all the films these actors made.
Your help is not only helpful but without it, there's no accolade at all. 
BIG FAT THANKS TO YOU ALL 
FURTHER SUGGESTIONS ALWAYS WELCOME 
PS To get you started, here are my film choices, but PLEASE post your own favs. TIA alot.
Tim Curry - Rocky Horror Picture Show
Halle Berry - Monster's Ball
Jack Lemmon - Mister Roberts
Kevin Bacon - The Woodman
Virginia Mayo - White Heat
John Candy - Who's Harry Crumb?
Meat Loaf - Tenacious D in The Pick of Destiny
Warren Oates - Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia |

THANKS TO ONE AND ALL!
I've just posted the acc, but will publicize it properly once I can get the image sorted. There seems to be some kind of glitch getting it uploaded 
And it's SO scary/cute, too!

OK everyone. I'm very grateful, but PLEASE stop naming actors. What I really wanted you all to do was to pick ONE or more foody-name actors and post your favorite film that they star or co-star in.
That's how I was hoping to make this accolade a fwfr-collective work.
But, apart from a couple of you -  Rovark, TitanPa,hustleboy007 - a list of films seems thin on the ground. Which will make for a teensy weensy accolade.
I'm going to take an executive decision ... whatever has been posted by Sun night, say 10pm fwfr-time, that's it. And I'll construct the acc and post it up.
And ya can't say fairer than that, missus!
Seriously, thank you all!

If you search hard enough down the cast lists, there's a whole buch of actors with food related names
Ric CARROTT was in Marathon Man as mentioned earlier
Trying to think of other better known actors who you may want
Larry LAMB - A lot of TV work over here in the UK and still very active and was in "Superman"
Buster CRABBE
Christopher PLUMMER - "Sound OF Music"
Lee J COBB - Anyone outside of South East England know about Cob nuts?
Sandra BULLOCK - "Speed", although strictly speaking you eat beef from bullocks
David COD-N-CHIPS-TWICE in ...
Oh all right, I made the last one up

Another is Colin Salmon - Resident Evil? |

OK, Ms Pushy, how about the delectably named Victoria Plum who was in THE MEANING OF LIFE.
And, of course, Brian Cox - the apple, Baffy, the apple - ooh, you can't take her anywhere! - who was in, for example, THE BOURNE IDENTITY.

Actually, with Fry I was thinking more along the lines of the singular of American 'fries'.
Maybe it's those large portions Americans are used to that makes it so difficult to picture just one of something 
Ah ... as in, "would you like a fry with that?"
You got it |

I'm going to go with
Curry - Legend ( I might have gone Rocky Horror but Meat Loaf needed it )
Berry - Gothika
Lemmon - How to Murder Your Wife ( Some Like It Hot and The Appartment ran it close)
Bacon - Stir of Echoes
Mayo - White Heat
Bean - LoTR
Candy - Uncle Buck
Meat Loaf - Rocky Horror
Oates - The Wild Bunch
So I completely agreed with you on just one out of the nine BBabe
Although Your jack Lemmon choice is probably the only one I'd take serious issue with. This is one of those lists we could spend a great evening erm.. 'exchanging views' on over a pint.
Look forward to anyone elses fav's |
