I love movies. I love food. How can I not love movies about food? Movies for foodies.
I have been researching movies about food and cooking and compiling a list. I have a wishlist over at Amazon.com so I can keep track of the films I want to order. I have a wishlist from my local library of movies that I want to rent out. I have a list of foodie movies on my phone in case I run into a bin of DVD’s on sale.
So here is my list of 20 foodie movies on my wishlist. Some I have already seen and others I am still trying to find. Some are entirely based around food, in others food takes a backseat to the main story. And these are in no particular order-
1. Chocolat
2. Eat Pray Love
3. Tampopo
4. Big Night
5. Diner
6. Waitress
7. Tortilla Soup
8. Eat Drink Man Woman
9. Soul Food
10. Ratatouille
11. Julie and Julia
12. Simply Irresistible
13. Woman On Top
14. No Reservations
15. Babette’s Feast
16. Mostly Martha
17. Today’s Special
18. Like Water For Chocolate
19. The Prize Winner of Defiance, Ohio
20. Christmas in Connecticut
How many have you seen? And PLEASE….if you have a favorite foodie movie that I didn’t include…PLEASE let me know!!

That’s a great list. I have seen some of them. ‘Like Water for Chocolate’ was fantastic and I think one of my most favorite Christmas movies is ‘Christmas in Connecticut.’ In fact, I watch it every year :-)
