Every day this week, we’re featuring a new batch of ideas for two of the films (See all the posts here.) Today: The King’s Speech and 127 Hours. Both movies recount true stories: World War II-era royal drama vs. the modern-day survival story of a (very good-looking) mountain climber trapped under a boulder. You’ll need some serious snacks.

James Franco wishes he had more trail mix.

127 Hours in Food

After five days trapped in a canyon, Aron Ralston (played by James Franco) surely wished he packed a bigger supply of trail mix. Munch on some while you wait for dinner to be ready. These satisfying slow-cooker dishes are worth waiting several hours for — but maybe not 127.
