There is one thing you do not do in the movies or in real life whether it’s National Coffee Day or not, and that’s mess with someone’s coffee. So many people across the nation and throughout the world are hooked on this morning beverage that some of them won’t even talk to one another until they’ve had that first cup and wake up a little bit. The aroma is enough to perk up some people and the act of munching on the beans an even pep some people up. To those that don’t drink it coffee is usually bitter, nasty, and needs to be drowned in cream or some foo-foo concoction just to be palatable. But to those that are firmly hooked on the bean juice that so many start their day with there is nothing more sacred in the morning than that percolated brew that has the power to revive brain cells and carry a person through the day.
Here are some of the best coffee scenes in movies.
5. George of the Jungle
For all the coffee newbies out there this is a bit extreme when it comes to what really happens when you taste coffee for the first time and unless the grounds are really that great compared to what he was eating in the jungle it’s likely that George would have spit them right back out. But seeing as he didn’t the wired and hyped state he’s in would be followed by one tremendous and long-lasting crash thanks to the energy he’s expending and the fact that his body would be completely worn out by the time it wore off. Real coffee drinkers know how to balance it out most times, but this is still funny.
4. Thor
Some people show appreciation in different ways, Thor’s is to smash the cup on the floor while asking for another. In a society like the one we have today that seems a little aggressive and might even hurt someone’s feelings. No, really, it probably would. But just watching one might either raise an eyebrow or just smile and nod as they think that this is how it should be in some way. Of course given that cups aren’t all that cheap when they start getting broken left and right it seems that this is a practice that would need to die out eventually since it could be a little costly. But hey, it’s a great moment in cinema.
3. Sudden Impact
Care for some coffee with your sugar? If the woman pouring the sugar into your drink in an endless stream wasn’t signal enough that something was wrong then the guys that keep looking around like they’re waiting for something should have been the next tip. In any case Harry is the kind of guy that doesn’t sweat the small stuff, at least until he notices that his drink is a bit too sweet for his liking. When a guy like Dirty Harry tells you that “we” aren’t just going to let you walk out of here you’d better think it mean that he’s got a little surprise waiting for you just inside his jacket and that he’s going to be unloading it in your direction in the next second.
2. Airplane 2
So the ship is a few million miles off course, there’s meteors bumping into the ship left and right, and things are pretty much as bad as they can be. Or are they? When one passenger asks if she’s not telling them everything she of course replies that they’re out of coffee, and pandemonium ensues. Of course in real life things would be different, but the whole coffee issue would make at least a few people cry since a lot of people just can’t do without their caffeine fix and soda pop just isn’t going to cut it for some folks. I mean come on, no coffee? You might as well tell them they’re going to die in the next few minutes, it might seem less painful and less likely to incite a riot.
1. Groundhog Day

Imagine if you were stuck in same day, doing the same things, with the same result day in and day out. Now imagine that you had unlimited coffee to go with it. Some people would be in heaven since they’d wrap their hands lovingly around each cup and never want to leave. But really it seems like a shame since the fare wouldn’t change and you’d be hard-pressed to find the same kind of coffee in a small town that you would in a bigger city. And more to the point you’d be stuck in the small town drinking the same coffee day in and day out until you decided to try something different. But of course if you stayed there long enough you’d know exactly what they had after a while.
It does make sense, in kind of a depressing way.
