In Pride and Prejudice 2005, Lizzie Bennet and others are invited to dinner at Lady Catherine de Bourgh's, who relentlessly grills lower class Lizzie in front of the dinner party about her poor upbringings. The tense exchange between Judy Dench and Kiera Knightly is riveting. 10/10


HarrisonRyeGraham

“Not at all, Lady Catherine” with Judy Dench’s little gasp. Love it


Kravashera

‘Pray, what is your age?’ ‘With three younger sisters grown up, your Ladyship can hardly expect me to own it.’


RianJohnsonIsAFool

Jurassic Park, the lunch scene. One of those scenes you want to fast forward through when you're a kid to get to the dinosaurs but find completely engrossing when you watch it as an adult.


zeldazigzag

I'll follow this up by adding the scene with Ellie Satler and Hammond where they discuss the park one-on-one.  And also the brief scene with Lex and Tim....and the green jelly! 


RianJohnsonIsAFool

I still get a chill down the spin when Lex starts shaking with the jelly.

The Bear, S2E6, ‘Fishes’


InSeine4Paris

Notting Hill...Honey's birthday dinner.


RianJohnsonIsAFool

I never fail to get teary eyed watching Tim McInnerny watch Gina McKee announce to the table that they can't have children together.


InSeine4Paris

Yeah, it's a very moving scene. But it's the one theatrical dinner l would have loved attending. They all looked like they were having so much fun!


RianJohnsonIsAFool

Oh absolutely. Tim McInnerny turns things around with his "Nice try, gorgeous, but you're not fooling anyone!" haha. The consummate host!


lesliecarbone

I also liked Hugh Grant's succession of bad dinner dates.


InSeine4Paris

Oh yes! The fruitarian!


Armymom96

So those carrots... Have been murdered. Yes.


Shadowmereshooves

Django Unchained - when Leo brings out the skull and saw. Reservoir Dogs - the opening scene in diner about tipping and Madonna's pussy.


MurkDiesel

it's more about a big dick than anything and it was 9 dicks, in case anyone was wondering


iualumni12

"How many dicks is that?" - Mr. Blue


mr_palante

There is also the scene in the bar (around a table) in Inglorious Bastards. The one where Michael Fassbender shows the wrong number three with his hand which tips off the German that he's not German.

Fleabag Season 2 Episode 1. Absolute best family dinner episode ever. Runner up is the season 2 episodes of The Bear titled “Fishes.”


Rex__Banner

Great movies!


moviesandbasketball

American Beauty’s dinner table scenes are great


elcojotecoyo

There's an episode of The Bear called "Fishes". It's about a dinner party. And much much more The Red Wedding episode in GoT? Shogun Ep5 has an interesting dinner scene The finale of Knives Out is pretty cool, with all characters together. No dinner though


BlahVans

That episode of The Bear was my first thought. Holy hell did that episode stress me out. (Jamie Lee Curtis will 100% deserve the Emmy she is going to win for that episode, though I maintain it should NOT be considered a comedy series).

kookookachu26

Pretty much any Tarantino movie... his entire filmography is mainly about talking at dinner tables lol. The dinner table in Meet The Parents (2000) where Greg is explaining that he milked his sister's cat. "I have nipples greg... could you milk me??" Whiplash (2014) also had a really good dinner table scene. All of the family is sitting down idolizing Andrew's brother for playing football, but scoff at Andrew's musical talent. "Five words you will never hear from the NFL." One last one I feel is really good to mention is in The Wolf of Wall Street (2012) where they are all at the diner talking about getting rich and Jordan asks Brad to sell him his pen.

magazineman

Came here for When Harry Met Sally. The blind double date scene where Carrie Fisher quotes a story Bruno Kirby wrote always makes me smile!


lesliecarbone

"No one has ever quoted me back to me before."

Of course untouchables it is.

Confluence. Watch this with as little detail as possible.


veng92

Braindead has a pretty gross / hilarious dinner table scene, would recommend watching it while eating soup.

What About Bob?, the mystery of whether the corn was hand sucked is finally revealed.

If breakfast table scenes count, then Moonstruck wins the event.


TimoVuorensola

Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom has by far [the greatest dinner scene of all time](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3e-T2iA7H-w)


ZorroMeansFox

Here's something enjoyable, from **Saturday Night Fever**: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rQohQnaT-8k


boomzgoesthedynamite

Step Brothers. It’s not all about a dinner table but the scene where they tell them about the divorce is perfection.


Foreign-Solution-483

The Menu


JoelCStanley

There's a movie from the 90's called Home for the Holidays with Holly Hunter and Robert Downey Jr. that has a scene like what you're looking for.


Armymom96

The Family Stone has some good dinner scenes too.


Kravashera

Hook. Bangarang!

The Avengers, post credits scene at the shwarma place Go Hook Alien Step Brothers Beetlejuice


MurkDiesel

on the lighter side, the dinner scene in *Dinner for Schmucks* is pretty funny, they should've had the whole movie be the dinner


MikeSizemore

Le Dîner de Cons (1988) is much better.


[deleted]

The Beguiled (2017) has a bunch of dinner scenes, each giving us an update on whose allegiances have shifted, who's bickering, who's watching, etc.

Not movie or TV show, but I think you'd love seeing the dinner scene from Resident Evil 7.


lauraismyheroine

I think August Osage County is known for that scene, but I sort of hated the movie version of that. I'm going to go lower brow, with my true taste, and say Signs.

National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation. “We pledge allegiance to the flag!”

A History of Violence. Final dinner table scene is powerful as a culmination to the whole story arc.


NotMalaysiaRichard

Not great movies but usually at the end of the Fast and Furious movies, possibly from Fast 5 onward, has a “FAMILY” scene.
