I'm gonna have to throw in Ang Lee's Eat Drink Man Woman and Tortilla Soup, a Japanese and Mexican/American version of the same film with some of the best food I've ever seen. Then there's Chocolat with Johnny Depp and Juliette Binoche. I dare anyone to say they didn't crave chocolate after seeing this movie. And a very recent movie: Julie and Julia with Meryl Streep and Amy Adams. Though I was hoping there'd be tons more scenes with food, what scenes they did have with it made my mouth water. Great, now I'm hungry. lol<br />NoirDivaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344878851139332715.post-31189676802081702602009-09-20T03:03:36.652-04:002009-09-20T03:03:36.652-04:00Several of my favorite food-in-film moments involv...Several of my favorite food-in-film moments involve pie and would be classified more as bit players than supporting characters. In both Arizona and A Thousand Pieces of Gold the heroines make extra money by baking pies and the men they love enjoy eating them. Jean Arthur's baked goods seem to be a recurring theme often appearing at crucial moments in her relationship with William Holden. He usually cuts the pie and proceeds to eat without benefit of fork and plate. And there's always a pie waiting for him when he returns after an extended absence. In A Thousand Pieces of Gold Rosalind Chao's character also bakes pies but these are shown in vivid color and seemed to be mile high type apple pies. Chris Cooper's character doesn't even bother to use a knife; he just grabs a chunk of pie and starts stuffing it in his mouth. Both characters exhibit bad table manners, but they convey such pleasure while eating the pies that this viewer (me) has already called a Whole Foods Market and ordered one for pickup.sazballhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09169364618410134642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344878851139332715.post-5120059675076066712009-09-20T00:17:26.426-04:002009-09-20T00:17:26.426-04:00Rick - I think "Cuddles" is the heart of...Rick - I think "Cuddles" is the heart of that movie and doesn't he just seem like a great cook?

She is stuffing herself with exotic foods and wants to eat the whole dessert cart. And though it is not classic, THE SOPRANOS always made me hungry. They were always eating in that show! Wonderful idea for a blog!ClassicBeckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03591715859057540467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344878851139332715.post-58618787005411258102009-09-19T18:30:21.369-04:002009-09-19T18:30:21.369-04:00Eve, i love this blog..very creative.Eve, i love this blog..very creative.Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03476174860119487509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344878851139332715.post-64717822284439785792009-09-19T10:41:25.132-04:002009-09-19T10:41:25.132-04:00I love this blog, Eve!

Films I would add include: BABETTE'S FEAST, in which a former chef expresses her gratitude through food; EAT DRINK MAN WOMAN, which uses food as a analogy for love; and GOD OF COOKERY, a Stephen Chow comedy about some serious cooking competitions (a great recommendation from Sark). I am so glad you included CHRISTMAS IN CONNECTICUT, with S.Z. "Cuddles" Sakall as the chef behind cooking impostor Barbara Stanwyck. Cuddles also owned a restaurant in the Errol Flynn comedy NEVER SAY GOODBYE.Rick29https://www.blogger.com/profile/08358116647815569722noreply@blogger.com
