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?

Eat drink man woman

Ratatouille

Chocolat.

Delicatessan 😈

(actually one of the best films of all time)

You beat me to it.

It is a great film.

Sideways is great though it’s about wine.

The Cook, the Thief, his wife and the other fella/woman. I forget.

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

The cook, his wife, the other guy and that other fella

One of the acts within Monty Python and The Meaning Of Life.

A Private Function

Thanks all I hate Delicatessen so I’m not buying it!

Supersize Me. Perfect for foodies.

Soylent green
American pie

Fried Green Tomatoes

Fatal Attraction contains a wonderful recipe.

Or,

Naked Lunch.

Eat the rich.

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

Subscription to weightwatchers.

Dinner rush.

91/2 Weeks 😉

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

Blimey Al, fussy or what?

Get some spuds and a peeler then!

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’

How about a tale of 2 mens pursuit of culinary perfection?

AKA

Harold and Kumar get the munchies.

LOLs at TSY 😀

Is there a Cheech and Chong original?

I was trying to think of C&C original but I think they just kept looking for more drugs TBH. 8)

+1 Dinner Rush, Big Night is a great movie.

Is The Trip out on DVD yet?

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.

doesn’t Dustin Hoffman make eggy bread in Kramer vs Kramer?

La Grande Bouffe
😀

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
