Obscure but great movies!

[REASON]

I'm sure everyone remembers Damnation Alley.

I went to see it with my dad when it first came out. He was big into HiFi equipment and was really excited about the new Sound 360 feature. It was supposedly an upgrade from Sensurround used in the movies Earthquake, Rollerball, and Midway, and was a precurser to today's surround sound equipment.

Story line: these two guys from Italy move to the USA and settle in a modest sized town. Their dream is to open the best, most authentic Italian restaurant ever. But the locals don't want authentic. They want spaghetti and meatballs. They want pizza with canadian bacon. The one brother manages the books and wants to keep the biz going, even if certain compromises are necessary. The other brother is the chef and lives ONLY to cook the very best. Trouble is, the locals won't touch the very best.
So, they have to go out of business. They decide to throw one last party in the restaurant and invite all their friends for a final, free, Italian food bash. The cooking scenes in the kitchen, showing how the chef created some of these cuisanary masterpieces are alone worth the price of the movie.

So, what was the name of that damned movie?!?!?!?!

Try Big Night (1996)

Thank You Big Dog!!

Not knowing any of the actors, I couldn't even google for it. I'm surprised it was made in 96. I seem to remember seeing it in the very early 90's. But my mind is no longer the steel trap it used to be---back in the early 90's.
Thanks again. You da bomb, bill.
