Today we feature a film with a high density of OnlyFood:

Napoleon Dynamite (2004)

Showing OnlyFood onscreen and removing the human element is a bold move for filmmakers. It’s done for reasons of great import. However, here OnlyFood is set up as a main theme immediately in the opening credits!
A round white plate on a maroon carpet holds a mound of tater tots and a dollop of ketchup with “Fox Searchlight Pictures” written in ketchup on the outer rim of the plate.

Psycho (1960) 00:03:17

There’s no lunching happening on this hotel room lunch break, if you catch my drift.
Black and white still of a bedside table with a sandwich made with square bread cut in two equal rectangles and wrapped in clear plastic with the cut side facing out. The sandwich is on a flat wax paper that had previously wrapped the plastic-wrapped sandwich. Beyond the sandwich is an unopened glass bottle of dark soda, an empty paper cup with a plastic lid, a clear glass ashtray, and a tray with a pitcher of water and two glasses.

Birds of Prey and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn (2020) 0:12:45

Slow, sensual closeups (and Barry White soundtrack) convey Harley Quinn’s feelings of love as she awaits her beloved breakfast sandwich.

A smartphone with a black and white security video still of a woman with a square highlight around her head lays on a table between an amber tall glass of icy liquid to the left, and a white plate with a red border containing blue checkered wax paper and the last all-bread bite of a submarine sandwich to the right.

Salt (2010) 0:27:05

Like the inspirational sandwich (https://bsky.app/profile/onlyfood.bsky.social/post/3lare3xx6fm2u), this OnlyFood conveys how rapidly the person departed, this time as an abduction of Angelina Jolie’s husband.
A beige ceramic plate on a small black table holds a partially-eaten sandwich consisting of meat slices and iceberg lettuce. A partially-drunk green bottle of Heineken beer sits on the table to the left of the plate. Various items sit on the far side of the plate.

I come for the strudel. It’s great.
A wide array of plates, baskets, and trays of various foods rests on a green tablecloth covered in crumbs and stains, in a scene not unlike the aftermath of a wartime battlefield. A lit red candle towers over the fray.

Mmm, dessert!

If I’m here and you’re here, doesn’t that make it our time? Certainly there’s nothing wrong with a little feast on our time.

Better get used to those bars, kid.

A lovely breakfast from a lovely lady. What could possibly go wrong?
A brown cafeteria food tray which has a breakfast consisting of a round white lightly patterned plate on which sits fluffy scrambled eggs cooked with chopped red and green peppers and white onion slivers, potato slices drizzled with ketchup, and two slabs of fried Spam.

100% Guaranteed Breakfast

The Godfather (1972) 1:31:09

The idea for this account hit me when I watched The Godfather recently.

Here, the idea being conveyed is how quickly the hospital was abandoned.

But it’s also a terrible sandwich. Was that normal then? Or is it for quick recognition? Or that it would keep well on set?
A sandwich and a pickle spear rest on a white paper wrap on a small wooden desk next to a cup of black coffee and two pieces of yellow cake with a dark swirl. The sandwich is two thick slices of yellow cheese and iceberg lettuce on dry white bread. The sandwich is cut in rectangular halves and two bites are missing from one half. An ashtray sits in the left side of the desk.
