Alternative Easter eggs: Cracking film moments

From Clockwork Orange to Airplane, we bring you films with great craic

In this American spoof of the disaster film genre ‘Airplane’, the passengers on board begin to fall ill. The doctor suspects it’s food poisoning but when he checks the patient’s symptoms he pulls an egg from her mouth, then three more, before cracking one to release a bird.

If you’re bored of sickly-sweet films this Easter, look no further than these “cracking” movies.

Paul Newman manages his way through 50 hard boiled eggs in the film Cool Hand Luke in a bid to win a bet with his inmates.

In Ghostbusters, Sigourney Weaver’s character watches eggs mysteriously explode from their box in her kitchen- a sure sign of something eggstraordinary.

Then there are the moments of eggstacy. For example, in Japanese comedy Tampopo when the two leads kiss by passing a yolk between their mouths, or in Hot Shots! when Charlie Sheen cracks an egg onto his love interest’s stomach and watches it fry.
