In some of these movies, food is the star (or at least makes a very memorable cameo); in others, it’s just part of the title ~ but regardless, we think you’ll agree that this list takes the cake!

Cherry 2000 C2K has to be one of the most hilariously exploitative movies of all time.  Set in the not so distant future, a man needs to track down a replacement for his sex-toy-robot/life partner.  The, uh, frustrated man and a young Melanie Griffith set off into the desert to battle a cult of lunatics while searching for mechanical love.  Amazing 80s era hairstyles, gratuitous side-boob and ridiculous special effects rival Ms. Griffith’s acting [in]abilities for best feature of this cinematic piece of…art.

Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory What’s not to love about this classic?  Miles beyond the similarly titled and equally bizarre (but not as well-done by a long shot) remake, this movie features a twinkling-eyed maniac tricking dastardly children into nibbling off-limits candy…and introduced the world to Oompa-Loompas.

American Pie It would be impossible to keep this movie off of our list.  While a humorous endeavor in its own right, the “climactic” pie scene takes the cake…or rather, the pie.  Shannon Elizabeth also gets an honorable mention f

or her time featured on webcam looking, dare I say, edible.

James and the Giant Peach Take a weird kid, a couple of evil aunts as guardians, a giant peach, a bunch of bugs with human-like personalities, an ingenious art-style, then roll the peach to New York City.  The end result is certainly…interesting.  And for reasons that are not really explained, the giant mutant bugs never devour James.

Pumpkinhead Some jerks accidentally kill a kid while shredding dirtbikes.  Next thing you know, a horrible vengeance demon is summoned to kill them.  Pumpkinhead himself looks like a close alternate for the lead alien position in the appropriately titled movie starring Sigourney Weaver.  Not only that, but there’s a Misfits song about it, which makes it even more awesome.

Salt Leaving America’s sweetheart Jen Aniston in her dust, Angelina Jolie marries Brad Pitt and stars in this mysterious action film th

at once again forces us to question what those wacky old communist-Russians are up to.  The answer?  They’re up to no good, of course.

Jawbreaker  Rose McGowan stars in a movie that [thank you, universe!] isn’t about her time with beautiful person Marilyn Manson.  Instead, she along with her popular clique friends, accidentally kill their beautiful prom-queen pal during a fun vehicular hostage situation with, guess what?  A jawbreaker candy.

Attack of the Killer Tomatoes For absolutely no reason, tomatoes mutate into human killing monsters.  It doesn’t get much more hilarious than this, and kudos goes to the fiendish cast of duplicitous vegetables…

Children of the Corn All of the kids in a rural Nebraska town take it upon themselves to slay all of the adults and form a weird cornfield cult.  Sure enough, two poor saps end up driving into a pre-murdered child and have the worst trip to California ever.

A Clockwork Orange The late Stanley Kubrick’s masterpiece is easily one of the oddest and most visually disconcerting movies of all time.  There are so many horrible images/concepts being hurdled at the viewer at once that it’s hard to choose the most disturbing, but my vote goes to the scene with the strangely dapper gang drinking copious amounts of milk at the aptly named Milk Bar.
