I'm buying Xmas pressies and want to get some films about food for a foodie.

So far I have come up with Tampopo and Babbette's feast (former filmsoc member at uni)

Can you think of any more?

The Cook, the Thief, His Wife & Her Lover, maybe not Christmas day viewing, but a brilliant film

Eat the rich.

A Comic Strip production with a Motorhead sound track. Very good (or so I thought 20odd years ago) 😀

Erm thanks...how many of those films are actually about food though as opposed say to being set in a restuarant (Thief, cook...)?

There are no films about food. just buy them a cookery book like the The Curry Secret

but if you really must 'cloudy with a chance of meatballs'

AKA

Harold and Kumar get the munchies.

Julie and Julia - fairly dire, pretty much about food although there is a fatuous attempt to make food a metaphor for just about everything in the irritating cow's life. Julie that is - Julia's cool.

I'm ashamed to say I sat through it.

La Grande Bouffe

+1

The c the t his w and her l is about food too, maybe not the best cuts though

"Eat, Albert.
Roy, pour Albert a drink.
Try the cock, Albert. It's a delicacy.
And you know where it's been.
Eat.
Bon appétit.
It's French."

EDIT lol at appétit getting pounced on by the swear filter - pardon my french
