Hard choice.

Either my Victorinox 8" chef's knife, or my Wustofff Santoku.

What's your Favorite Movie Food?

As an Austinite, I'm spoiled by the Alamo Drafthouse. My favorite movie food is XX hot wings, and then a spicy bleu burger or Maximum Overdog.

Past that, popcorn. Hopefully with real butter.

I always take a bar or a tiny box of filled chocolates - summer or winter. It always makes the movie more enjoyable.

Quoting Capndesign: Also, here's a trick for those butter machines that I learned from an experienced movie-goer: grab a straw and stick it into the center of your popcorn. Then put the straw up to the butter machine. Voila!

BRILLIANT! THANK YOU! And thank your experienced movie-goer friend for me!

Popcorn with LOTS of butter and salt, and an ice cold cola (I like Whole Foods brand cola containing no high-fructose corn syrup)

Yes, Ceforrester, I would definitely go for a cocktail during a movie. They don't make any noise! Unfortunately, if alcohol were served at American movie theaters, you know what would happen!

Reminds me--the only time I attended a football game, I was about 12, and these guys behind us were getting drunker and drunker, and they kept trying to show my aunt (sitting next to me) pictures of naked women, and she kept shooing them away, then one of them THREW UP all over her. She had to talk her way into the girl's locker room and get herself cleaned up enough to make the 50-mile drive home.
