Lupin the Third - The Castle of Cagliostro

Probably the best Lupin the 3rd's movie ever, the Castle of Cagliostro offers a lot of action in the smallest and unknown state of Cagliostro, "the smallest state in the world". I don't know where this state is, but it's probably somewhere around Italy, if we look at the huge spaghetti with meatballs tray that Lupin and Jigen get in a tavern.

After a quick conversation with the waitress about rings, princesses and so on, they start with an original spaghetti fight with fork and spoon.

There are no written rules for spaghetti fight, and no instructions left from Our Saucy Lord. They fight it with a fork and a spoon, so that would surely be different from an hypothetical Italian version of the game, which would be played only with a fork.

But at the end the winner in both cases would be Jigen: thanks to a quick rotation of his tools , he creates a huge spaghetti ball, making it bouncing from the tray to his dish. Well played, Jigen, the holy match is yours.

Soul Kitchen

Yesterday I had to cook an onion soup, and this is a kid of recipe with long times on less concentration. The ideal recipe for watching a movie with no risks. And what's better than a movie which talks about cooking?

And here comes Soul Kitchen, the best German movie ever! Full of people, music, recipes, health problems, night drunkenness, knives, dishwashers and much more. Sadly it lacks of pasta, but the plot is somewhat piratish, however. I think this movie must be shown in cooking class too. Maybe.

What makes the story even better is the location. It's not New York or Los Angeles like the 99% of movies, but Hamburg, and even if nothing in the movie makes this place necessary, there's a moment during the movie that you understand that a plot like this needs a special city. And what's better than a city in northern Germany with canals like Venice?

Billy Wilder's the Apartment

For our new category Movies with creative use of Pasta here's The Apartment, with Jack Lemmon, Shirley MacLaine and Fred MacMurray, from the Director Billy Wilder, no less!

Of course, I still haven't seen the movie, but I can quote imdb for some no-spoiling plot:

A man tries to rise in his company by letting its executives use his apartment for trysts, but complications and a romance of his own ensue.

But our team captain told us of some creative use of pasta, surely something related with the image above.

The main purpose of this category is to promote good pasta movies between fellow Pastafarians. So, every time you are asking yourself for something to see, you can just pick a movie here, watch it, and maybe even comment it somewhere here around.

And for the same reason, every one is asked to bring new movies for common knowledge.

And again, if some of you feels strong for some sort of writer inspiration, just ask and you'll get full writing powers all around. So that articles can be written directly from the inspired pirate who saw the movie, without passing from someone that not even knows it!
