The other day I saw l'Outremangeur (The Over Eater, 2002) and it made me think of other films in which food and eating plays an important role. I wonder if you can add to the list (in no particular order):
- La Grande Bouffe
- Tampopo
- Eat, Drink, Man, Woman
- The Cook, the Thief, his Wife and her Lover
- Who is Killing the Great Chefs of Europe?
- Monty Python's Meaning of Life (the part in the restaurant)
- Myglaren
- Babettes Feast
Supersize Me
7 (the part about gluttony)
Chocolate
BTW - I really enjoyed Babettes Feast
Babettes Feast was a wonderful film.
La Grande Bouffe was a great film too, but not for the 'happy end' crowd. It had a cast of super stars who loved to eat.
Soylent Green
Delicatessen
I particularly like the dinner scene in
The Gold Rush
Mildred Pierce (can't forget those pies) with Joan Crawford
Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory
How I loved Big Night...
Like Water for Chocolate,
a totally different movie than Bread and Chocolate, which I liked better.
Eat Drink Man Woman (or something like that)
Down and Dirty (Sporchi e Brutti), the spaghetti scene.
Eating Raoul
Cool Hand Luke
Me too, Osso, but don't watch it with native Italian speakers........
which one, and with subtitles?
hey joefromchicago....
speaking of MAJOR AWARDS....
The part of A Christmans Story dealing with the turkey being stolen by the bumpusses dogs.
And the mashed potatos.....
Aside - Everytime I get a potential MAJOR AWARD marked FRAGILE, I must announce loudly to everyone...."Look! I've gotten another package from Italy!"
Oh - mashed potatos.....Close Encounters of the Third Kind.

Yeah, come to think of it, there are a lot of scenes involving food and drink in

In the meantime I have come across some more titles in this theme:

- Kamome diner (2006, Ruokala Lokki)
- Sideways (2004)

He also had one called either Tanto Oregano or Troppo Oregano, but I can't find a link for that, other than an earlier comment by myself on a2k.
@ossobuco,
I must have added Bread and Chocolate to this thread, but don't see it in a cursory glance -
