My favourite movie was “Julie and Julia” with Meryl Streep and Amy Adams. At that time I have prepared the most famous recipe “Boeuf Bourguignon” too.
Below my recipe on youtube:

For me it has always been ‘Chef’, something that inspires all of us that being original does not need to confirm to so called norms. A close second is ‘Julia & Julia’, inspires one to find ones purpose, set goals and stick to it. While the theme of these two movies are food, and were wonderfully portrayed, there is a lot more than food that we could learn and apply in our daily lives,

Great movies you shared, haven’t seen the last one…
I don’t know if it is considered a food movie but it’s really funny and explores the world of wine, I’m talking about Sideways starring Paul Giamatti. Eary 2000’s film, where two friends travel around Napa Valley and meet some women.
Jon Favreau’s Chef is also one of my favourites.

What a great post topic!
I love many of the movies mentioned here, but also “Mostly Martha”. It is a charming and touching german film, with a great soundtrack. Check it out foodies! 
Also - Chocolat is a great movie
And also Charlie and the chocolate factory.

Hi everyone.
Well, I’d like to mention two facts about this good question: 1) can’t say a movie in particular but always liked so much how Mexicans include their food so naturally in movies; no mention necessary how delicious and special Mexican food is; and, 2) I love Ratatouille. I think the concept of how mixed flavors impact taste and Ego’s final critique, are the pinnacles of this beautiful film.

Hi @kmajewski ! Nice post! I think my favourite food film is “The Hundred-Foot Journey”, a great film about success in the cooking world by starting from zero. I loved it!

This is a TV show, but Shinya Shokudō (深夜食堂), which translates to “Midnight Diner” is beautiful. I used to watch it before bed because its vibe is very peaceful and the food scenes are simple but exquisite, something you could probably use to describe Japanese culture in it of itself. Also, does Ratatouille count?! I love animated food… I love all food!

I have seen midnight diner in Netflix, amazing tv series in Japanese, brings in a lot of perspective of Japanese culture through food

I had to think about this question (I never actually thought about this topic…), but as a great Disneymaniac I have to pick Ratatouille. The way they made taste viewable is simply outstanding!

Hi @kmajewski ,
Thank you for sharing this.
I haven’t seen any of those but as of my memory the first food movie seen I get in mind is The Founder with Michael Keaton. I liked it, especially for the way the McD story was expressed.
J’ai adoré le film asiatique “Cook up a storm” vu dans un avion entre la France et l’Indonésie … Je vous le conseille vivement

Great question! I just want to draw attention to two films that people might not think of at first.

“Tampopo” is a Japanese film, a light comedy, that has multiple stories and interwoven subplots, but not so complex as to overwhelm. The casual parodies of US film conventions are a lot of fun, such as the trucker that pulls into town and stays awhile to train a small noodles shop owner in the fine art of ramen for the “big showdown”. It creates a distinct Western flavor. There’s a gangster character with his gang and girlfriend. There is a scene in which a respected elder is teaching a younger man how to properly eat a bowl of ramen, and it always comes to mind whenever I’m receiving a delicious bowl and looking down at the meat on top of the ramen filled broth. This is an exquisite Japanese comedy for anyone who has ever strived for excellence in any sphere of human life.

How about “Ratatouille”? I watch it with my daughter and this is one of our faves in our DVD collection (What can I say? - DVDs are still cheap permanent storage of digital content). I’ve just realized that the central theme is similar to Tampopo.
I wonder what food films Gordon Ramsey likes?

I’ve watched many of the other films listed in this thread, but hadn’t heard of The Hundred-Foot Journey. I was pleasantly surprised to see that it’s on Netflix and I watched it last night. Such a heartwarming film! Thanks for the recommendation, @SergioBerrendo !
I would say that Jiro Dreams of Sushi is at the top of the list for me. Jiro’s story and dedication to his craft are inspiring and the cinematography is stunning. As others have mentioned, Chef and Ratatouille were great, too.
