a question about cinema

As mentioned on the Ask 'Tevan thread, I enjoyed Harold and Kumar Get The Munchies on DVD last night. While I did think it was very good, I was wondering if there were any other good burger-based films that are out. Obviously there's Supersize Me, which is great despite it's questionable moral vantage point.

Can someone name some other burger movies for me to view?

Did you know that that film is really called 'Harold and Kumar go to Whitecastles' but they thought nobody on Ingland wood no what Whitecastle's was so they changed the name, fucking wallys.

Can't think of any other good Burgee-flicks at the mo' appart from the obvious Pulp Fiction...."Um-hum, that IS a tasty burger!" S.J.

Speaking of which, is 'Big-Kahuna Burger' a real burger bar?

This a s whitecastle's 'Slider' their signature burger which is tiny and can be "bought by the sack" as the slogan says. Note that both the pate and the bun are square, a whitecastle trade mark. Whitecastle's pate's also have holes punched in them to add 'crunch'.

That's true, I didn't think of that.

Best thing Dougie Howser has ever done. White Castle is kind of overrated though. I shall think long and hard about other burger movies!

Yeh, but after seeing the film I really want me a couple of those White Castle little burgers. I'm surprised they actually used White Castle and not a made up food chain. What is wrong with me today? I had a jacket potato, four sausages and beans for lunch, then went to Subway and had a 6-inch sub in the afternoon, plus a chocolate bar and some fruit and I'm STARVING!

My favourite bit in H&K was when they're talking to the attendant at Burger Shack and he flips out and starts smashing stuff because it reminded me of Captain Smash. My other favourite bit was when he has that mad burger dream.

The best part about sliders is imagining you are like some Godzilla-sized monster, ravaging an entire bag full of tiny burgers!

You sound like you're talking from experience Allah?! Share it with the class.....

Ah, I remember it just as if it were yesterday! So..imagine you're in a land, perhaps far off, or perhaps the one you're in now. There're these shacks, you see, where a man can exchange bits of paper and shiny things for food, be he willing to stand in line.

But not only that..for are these ordinary burgers? Oh no! As if made by elves or fairies, they're a finely crafted burger in miniature form! And so it follows that a man with a powerful, booze-fueled hunger, may think it only wise and proper to order a whole bag filled with these wonderous treats!

Indeed, upon lowering himself into his own booth of a throne, such a man's mind may even dream up that he is a giant lizard. And those sliders? Now they are the inhabitants of Tokyo, going down his gullet one handful at a time!
