Top 10 Movies That Make You Hungry
Soul Food: Lackluster movie, easy-on-the-eyes cast (Vanessa Williams, Vivica Fox, Nia Long, Mekhi Phifer) and plenty of mouthwatering Southern fare.
Chocolat: Nominated for 5 Oscars, this 1960's story of a mother and daughter who open a chocolate shop in a small French village will most assuredly leave you hankering for chocolate. Oh, and PLEASE pronounce it CHO-CO-LAH, not CHOC-LIT.
Monsoon Wedding: I love Indian food and hence cannot leave Monsoon Wedding off the "hungry" list. Featuring feasts of Kabobs, curries and a multitude of sweets, Monsoon Wedding is a brilliant and artistically beautiful (and tasty) movie.
Bella Martha (Mostly Martha): This German film about a brilliant but obsessive chef is rich with top notch cooking. The dish descriptions alone will have you drooling. Note: Don't bother with the US adaptation, "No Reservations" - no comparison in my opinion.
Waitress: If you aren't craving a slice of pie by the end of this one, you may have the world's best willpower. Waitress also happens to be a very charming movie - well worth a rent.
Spanglish: Okay, fried egg sandwiches are one of my favorites, so no surprise that I would include this Adam Sandler flick that depicts his character constructing the perfect fried egg sandwich.. Note: The special features section of the DVD shows you how to make the immaculate sandwich from the movie.
Babettes gæstebud (Babette's Feast): This movie centers on an extravagant dinner prepared for a tiny church in 19th Century Denmark. The film really exentuates the sensuality of food as the French delicacies are so meticulously and artfully prepared.
Yin shi nan nu (Eat, Drink, Man, Women): One of Ang Lee's best films about life in a house that revolves around the ritual of an elaborate Sunday dinner. Rich with metaphor as it is with delectable far eat cuisine; this film is truly a culinary adventure.
Under the Tuscan Sun: I may have to relinquish my man card for admitting I've seen this movie. As much as the vapid storyline dragged the movie down, there is something about watching someone prepare a traditional Italian meal in Tuscany.
Mystic Pizza: I admit, I struggled for a movie to round out the top 10. It has the word "Pizza" in the title and was one of Julia Roberts' first big roles (Matt Damon also has a small part).
