I recently watch a romantic comedy called “Heavy Petting” (its not what it sounds like). A guy meets a girl, he owns a coffee shop and his first gift to her is a blend he created and named after her! Also there are two old gentlemen frequently at his shop, and each day he makes them something different, finally at the end he gives them a cup of instant just like they had in the war, best coffee he’s ever made they recon.

Does anyone know the movie that the line “I hope you go to a nice coffee shop, Jack.” I’ve forgotten and it’s killing me.

Oh jeez – how could I have forgotten Kicking & Screaming (2005)

My #1 = Fight Club (1999) – coffee as protagonist (Unfortunately Starbucks is a product placement.)

And other minor roles that come to mind:
. Withnail & I (1987) – coffee soup
. The Ipcress File (1965) – opening scene where Michael Caine elegantly uses a French press (unfortunately another product placement – @&*#%*#$&)
. Ronin (1998) – “you were ambushed by a coffee”
. Saving Private Ryan (1998) – old coffee maker intrigues and torments Tom Hanks

Another site mentioned these movies:
. Air Mail (1932)
. The Turning Point (1952)
. The Stranger on the Third Floor (1940)
. Lost Weekend (1945)
. Christmas in July (1940)
. Pillow Talk (1959)
. One, Two, Three (1961)

I see as of this writing there are 349 feature movies that reference “coffee”, including 5 named “Coffee” outright: 1995, 1999, 2004, 2008, and 2009.

So I won’t be the first to suggest a TV show, but Gilmore Girls should definitely be on this list! They were obsesses with coffee, and while there is not a lot of coffee lingo, they would not be the same without the coffee. It ties so much together in the show. Check it out!

OK, So I know it is not a movie, But think about F.R.I.E.N.D.S at least half of their scenes took place in Central Perk Coffee Shop. They go order coffee, but just drop the line once in awhile. Their friendships are centered at Central Perk. (It also happens to me my favorite show of all time!) Anyone see the Series Finale, they finally move out and their lives disperse and decide they have time to kill:

Rachel: Well do you have to leave now or do you have time to go grab some coffee?

Monica: We have some time.

Chandler: Where?

DUHH!!

Also, watch this for a laugh!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7zq3Iob79gM

Two wonderful movies:
Feast of Love
with Morgan Freeman and Greg Kinnear. Greg plays the role of a coffee shop owner.
You’ve Got Mail
has a couple of good coffee house scenes.
