    I can't think of a food movie besides the ones already mentioned right now, but this is one of the greatest food scenes evar:



    "Would monsieur care for a wafer thin mint?"

    I saw some surreal european art film on local tv once about some eco fundamentalists who start killing of people who disagree with their (radical) views and use their remains as fertilizer to grow tomatoes. Can't remember the title.

    i think that's last supper? and i thought it was american, the dude in it starred in hellboy

    other food faves are delicatessen and sideways

    "The Godfather": how to make pasta for 20
    "Goodfellas": cooking in prison

    Speaking of food movies, has anyone seen Dumplings?



    Know it's meant to be good but wasn't sure whether to pick up the feature length version or the original version which helped make up the Three Extremes movie.

    boooooooooooooooo...


    I grab lunch at the actual restaurant (in downtown Mystic) every now and again. Pretty uninspiring food ... and they still champion the f**k out of the movie despite the fact that it was filmed in Rhode Island.

    NOt a movie, but the Travel Channel jsut released all the "No Reservations" series with Anthony Bourdain on DVD. Despite what you think of his books, cooking, or show, watching that dude eat some ill sh*t is nuts.

    The scene where he is with the eskimos just diving into a bloody seal carcass on their kitchen floor with blood all over their faces is priceless.
