I have come up with a list of 50 films which desperately need wine
pairing suggestions.
I tried to make the list somewhat international, and threw in some
obvious choices along with some more obscure selections (and some
which stump me completely). To get the ball rolling, I have also made
a a few pairing picks.
Go go go!

Hi, I have made three suggestions one for each of the first three. They
are all Niagara, Ontario Wines without Vintage except the Trius Brute which
won a silver medal. I'll keep thinking re the other 47 motion pictures.

4. Battleship Potemkin (USSR)

Surely only vodka, the cheaper the better, would do for Eisenstein's
proletarian masterpiece.



9. The Bicycle Thief (ITALY)

It should be rustic and Italian: Salice Salentino, perhaps?

12. Metropolis (GERMANY)

A 1990 Tete de Cuvee Champagne, the choice of many who ushered in the 21st
Century.



13. Big Night (US)
-Leonetti Cellar Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve 1998

A Gaja Barbaresco, I'd suggest.

15. On the Waterfront (US)

Cold, cheap beer. Stanley Kowalski wouldn't have it any other way.



16. Casablanca (US)

Krug or Bollinger, served with ennui. ;-)



17. Like Water for Chocolate (MEXICO)

Monte Xanic Chardonnay.

19. Lawrence of Arabia (US)

Herbal tea.


23. Ben-Hur (US)

Falesco Vitiano



24. My Dinner with Andre (US)

Hmmm... I don't remember the food served, alas. They'd need a wine to
contemplate. Cos D'Estournel, perhaps?



25. Un Chien Andalou (FRANCE)
-What kind of wine pairs with eyeballs?

9. The Bicycle Thief (ITALY)

It should be rustic and Italian: Salice Salentino, perhaps?

Herbal tea.


23. Ben-Hur (US)

Falesco Vitiano



24. My Dinner with Andre (US)

Hmmm... I don't remember the food served, alas. They'd need a wine to
contemplate. Cos D'Estournel, perhaps?
