Favorite movies about food

[caelte]

Two of my all time top food movies are:

Vatel----- About the inventor of whipped cream.If you haven't seen it, I won't mention what happens to him but being a chef is a mind expanding job.

Babette's Feast- If you don't know this movie, hmmmm....


Does anyone else have a favorite?

Tampopo.

There's also Stephen Chow's 'God of Cookery' that is quite amusing.

God of Cookery is hilarious. One of Stephen Chow's best.

Big Night (1996) -- Stanley Tucci, Minnie Driver, Isabella Rossellini
Super Size Me (Morgan Spurlock) is really about the food.
Fast Food Nation (2006) is about meat packing peasants.

I saw this recently. I liked it a lot despite the trite underlying message.

^^ I'm glad you enjoyed it. I thought the actors played off each other, to striking effects. Zachary Scott had seventeen wardrobe changes, in that film. A very chic man, heir to two great fortunes. Died at age 51.
