The Ramen Girl thread got me thinking about food porn movies, I'm wondering what all is out there as I think it's a wonderful and underrated genre. Here's four of my favorites:
Tampopo - An awesome "noodle western" about a down-on-her-luck ramen shop owner and the samurai cowboy driver who helps her whip her life back into shape. Intercut with vignettes about food that feature unrelated characters.
Ratatouille - This movie is absolutely in love with food and cooking.
Eat Man, Drink Woman - I prefer to eat woman, drink woman, but hey, whatever floats your boat.
Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle - I really think this movie is underrated; despite being a ridiculous shock comedy it also has a lot of depth and heart to it, and the central "White Castle" of the title is a fantastic metaphor for the lengths we'll go for friendship.
Okay, what else? Don't say Chocolat or Like Water for Chocolate or anything European and chocolaty, I swear to God.
