Le regine aka Queens of Evil (1970) Italy Dir. Tonino Cervi. A classic 70s trippy hippy Euro-cult film, a mystery parable where the boundaries between dream, illusion and reality are barely perceptible. David flees after committing a serious crime, seeking refuge he stumbles across the lakeside house of three beautiful and mysterious sisters, who behind seductive charms seem to be holding a dark secret... Mysticism, and Christian symbolism (eating the forbidden fruit, the tree of knowledge) merge into an enchanting sensual fairy tale for adults. Seductive sister Samantha (Silvia Monti)

Hey there london777 ... I am lodging an appeel A wonderful film that dwells on the philosophy of gleaning and brings to attention sustainability issues such as reducing waste. Gleaning, the act of gathering remnants of crops from a field after the harvest. As Varda demonstrates, people can be discovered throughout the French countryside gleaning everything from potatoes to grapes, apples to oysters, much as they did hundreds of years ago. There are also urban gleaners who salvage scraps from bins, appliances from the side of the road, or vegetables from stalls after the markets have closed. . Following along with gleaners and their struggles to survive the film gives a fascinating and lighthearted portrait of the invisible people who live on the fringes of society... Les glaneurs et la glaneuse , The Gleaners and I (2000) France Dir. Agnès Varda

Another pick... Gabbeh (1996) Iranian film directed by Mohsen Makhmalbaf. The beautifully crafted film gets its name from a type of Persian rug and starts by showing an elderly couple, carrying their gabbeh toward the river hoping to cleanse their rug. An apple tree sits beside the river, its fruits are featured at times symbolically floating over the immersed Gabbeh, and feature again in one of Uncle's rambling exchanges...

George Segal is eating apples throughout RUSSIAN ROULETTE 1975
and Chris Sarandon eats one or more in FRIGHT NIGHT 1985 (for years I wondered why--it was his idea so one realizes he is a fruit bat)

Inherit the Wind
As cynical and irreverent journalist E.K. Hornbeck, Gene Kelly dominated his opening scene making extravagant use of an apple, gesturing with it, punctuating his dialogue with chomps thereupon and teasing the fiancée of the teacher on trial for including Darwin in lessons while offering her a bite. "Don't worry, little Eva, I'm not the serpent, and this isn't from the tree of knowledge. You won't find one those growing in Hillsborough."

La Sacra Bibbia .. After Six Days (1920) Italian Dir. by Armando Vay and Dr Piero Antonio Gariazzo. Unfortunately the surviving print of La Sacra Bibbia is a butchered 62 min version of the original 11 reels. The film was edited down for a re-issue at least twice, once in 1929 (becoming, After Six Days) at the beginning of the sound era, where it was given a rather dull voice over narrative, and again in 1946, for which a promotional trailer was put together boasting of a $3 million budget and promising a cast of 10,000. What remains however is a historical testament to the spectacular vision of the Italian silent epic. There is so much cinematic art to be appreciated throughout, the film is full of striking compositions and imagery. The earliest scenes evoke a sense of creation, Eve appears for the first time as smoke rises from Adam's sleeping body. The two frolic in the garden before embracing and taking a bite out of the famous forbidden fruit almost simultaneously... Umberto Semprebene; Adam and Ada Marucelli; Eve and the apple...

Did we forget to mention The Wicker Man 1973? Wasn't it about apple crops and harvest, and those photos in the pub, where the harvested apples got lesser and lesser
