13 Great Movie Sandwich Scenes

Sam Dean



When movie characters bite into a sandwich, it means something. Most food scenes in movies focus on fork-and-knife food so that the real business of the dialogue, or emotions, or whatever, can go on uninterrupted. But as soon as you bring a sandwich into the equation, it becomes the focus of the scene. Sandwiches block out faces, fill up hands, and sometimes are even made on-screen. So we made this slideshow of our favorite movie sandwich scenes not just as a food magazine, but as cinephiles, and students of silver screen symbology. Watch, and learn, and probably get a little hungry, by the end.
