Last week @NataleeDara on Twitter objected to the Top Egg Scenes in Movies. Hey, some people don’t like eggs and that scene in Cool Hand Luke is pretty gross. So I generously offered to make a list of scenes with @NataleeDara’s fav food, snack or treat and she picked ice cream.

In his defense, a giant walking marshmallow doesn’t sound like much of a threat to New York City, but when that campfire treat ends up being brought to life by a demonic god, you’d better put the chocolate and graham crackers away and reach for your proton pack.

From AMC Movie List comes this food fights in the movies compendium that features many memorable filmic food flinging moments.
