An iconic scene inBrooklynisSaoirse Ronan‘s character learning how to twirl spaghetti so she can make a good impression on the family of her love interest, an Italian-American guy named Tony. Whether you twirl or slurp it, this super simple one-pot recipe is great for crowd.

Two of the most moving moments inRoomrevolve around food:Brie LarsonandJacob Tremblayeating birthday cake, and Brie Larson and Jacob Tremblay eating ice cream. Therefore: You should make and eat ice cream cake.

InThe Revenant, DiCaprio’s character eats bison liver. Raw. And it turns out DiCaprio actually ate actual bison liver — not faux-prop liver — for the filming. Don’t worry, we won’t make you eat it, too … but may we suggest some classic beef tartare?
