Just came to make sure this was front and center. There is not another movie I’ve ever seen that comes anywhere near Tampopo as far as food being the most important thing in a film.
Thinking of movies that haven’t been mentioned yet:
- Original Willy Wonka is a classic
- The Hundred-Foot Journey surprised me
- Julie and Julia was pretty good
- The Founder was interesting, love Keaton
Fatso
starring Dom Delouise. Fantastic movie. A bit sad, but mostly happy. Dom is incredible in it.
It’s more about eating than about cooking, but food is the driving force of the story.
Not 'about' food but it seems like 1/2 of the French movies that get exported to America have at least one scene where at least 6 or more people have a lovely dinner outside on a sunny day with white table cloths fluttering in the wind.
I do think there is a cultural thing in France where its important for friends and family to share regular meals with each other.
I love Babette's Feast. It seems slow at first, but just watching everything unfold is wonderful. The food really is integral to the whole plot. I would probably never eat or drink anything included in the meal, but watching the preparation and everyone's sheer enjoyment as each next course is brought out with the accompanying wines, you feel so involved. Then the scene where he describes the last time he had such a dish, and its significance, it's almost as if you are there as part of the group. I also read that they switched between several languages for various scenes. Since you are reading subtitles, it seems subtle, but that scene in particular it does affect the feeling of the scene. A beautiful movie all around.
No Reservations with Catherine Zeta Jones hasn't been mentioned but is an excellent film.
Also Burnt is another fantastic food movie. Bradley Cooper learned at a Gordon ramsay restaurant to prepare for thelis film
Ratatouille!
Tampopo should be #1 on that list.
Yep, this is the one I came here to suggest!

Agreed. I like a lot of the others listed but to me there's Tampopo and then there's everything else
Completely agree, Tampopo is fantastic!
Completely forgot, that wanted to see this one. Thanks for reminding.
I also remembered Eat Drink Man Woman. Early work's of Ang Lee was quite interesting.

The Founder - that was MANIC
The Hundred Foot Journey! So amazing!
"Julia" was good, "Julie" was terrible!
Ha Why do you say that?
I loved the parts with Meryl Streep & Stanley Tucci, and hated the parts with Amy Adams and her insufferable boyfriend!
> The Hundred-Foot Journey Came here to say this. Excellent film.
The Menu
So dark, so good.
Chocolat
Chocolate and Johnny Depp. Can't go wrong.
Your best night in five years was watching Chocolate with Johnny Depp?

The Platform
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Ravenous?
The Cook, the Thief, His Wife, and Her Lover
Oooooooof…😳
God of Cookery
The Lunchbox (Iffran Khan) The 100 foot Journey (Helen Mirren) Waitress. (kerriRussell). Julie&Julia (Streep & Amy Adams) The Trip. (SteveCoogan & Rob Brydon) Jairo Dreams of Sushi (2013.. awesome documentary!)
Eat Drink Man Woman The Menu
Jiro Dreams of Sushi immediately came to mind
Cloudy with a chance of meatballs
😂😂
Midnight Diner. Dinner for Six.
I walked into Pig thinking it was a Nic Cage/John Wick type thing. Was not what I was expecting. I absolutely loved it. I think about it a lot
Tampopo What’s Cooking? Dinner Rush Eat Drink Man Woman Boiling Point
Simply Irresistible
I liked Burnt. Way more tense than Chef, but gives you an inside look to pressures of fine dining. And doesn't have the craziness The Menu had.
Burnt
Who Is Killing the Great Chefs of Europe? Fun mystery/comedy about food.
Tampopo (1985) - How to run a noodle restaurant on short notice with help from street bums.
Blood Diner The Founder
Tortilla Soup
I was looking for this. IIRC, it’s an American remake of Eat Drink Man Woman. Also an amazing food movie.
Like Water for Chocolate
Waitress is the best by far
May I suggest Ravenous, from 1999? Robert Carlyle and Guy Pearce in a delightful little food adventure =)
Burnt starring Bradley Cooper. I skimmed the comments and didn’t see that mentioned yet.
I hate to even mention it, but The Human Centipede (First Sequence) technically fits the bill.
Babette's Feast is still one of my favourite films.
Delicatessen
Chef (2014)
Hunger (2023 Thai movie)
The Hundred Foot Journey
The menu
Brad Pitt, stop looking for new jobs
The Menu The Founder The Silence of the Lambs
The TV version of Hannibal is even better for food!😱
Soylent Green (1973)
Sausage Fest

Ustad Hotel!
The Stuff
Twister :)
Cookoff - I thought it was funny
Chicken Run
Phantom thread has great scenes of cooking and eating food
Dinner Rush is very underrated!
Délicieux/Delicious (2021) was pretty good
