In the 1981 film Chariots of Fire, Harold Abrahams (Ben Cross) and Sybil Gordon (Alice Krige) are out to dinner when Sybil orders "her favorite" and Harold says, "for two". Harold had just told Sybil about his Jewish heritage and the waiter brings them a tray of Pigs' Trotters. In spite of Harold's surprise, this draws a laugh from both Harold and Sybil.

Famous quotes containing the words popular and/or culture:
“What is saved in the cinema when it achieves art is a spontaneous continuity with all mankind. It is not an art of the princes or the bourgeoisie. It is popular and vagrant. In the sky of the cinema people learn what they might have been and discover what belongs to them apart from their single lives.”
—John Berger (b. 1926)
“I’ve finally figured out why soap operas are, and logically should be, so popular with generations of housebound women. They are the only place in our culture where grown-up men take seriously all the things that grown-up women have to deal with all day long.”
—Gloria Steinem (b. 1934)
