Top Ten Movies for Foodies

This weekend, my hubby and I went on a little movie date to see Julie and Julia, starring Meryl Streep and Amy Adams and we both loved it! It's a great story that both guys and gals will enjoy, but one word of caution: don't see it on an empty stomach. Seeing this movie reminded me of all of the other foodie movies I love, so I thought I would compile a Top 10 of my favorites:

10. Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory: I'm not gonna lie, parts of this movie actually make me afraid of food (Veruca Salt, anyone?), but that golden ticket chocolate bar makes me so happy!

9. The Devil Wears Prada: Yes, I am aware that part of the premise of this movie is that no one eats, BUT, there is a scene where Andy's boyfriend makes a grilled cheese, and it always induces a serious craving.

8. Ratatouille: Well, this one is just cute.

7. Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle: Okay, I know, White Castle isn't exactly gourmet, but who doesn't get the munchies watching this one?

6. Chocolat: Johnny Depp and chocolate... wait, what was the movie about again? Something with Juliette Binoche, but does it matter?

5. Spanglish: Adam Sandler plays a renowned California chef in a struggling marriage. If the food in the film has your mouth watering, that's because it was prepared by none other than Thomas Keller.

4. Eat, Drink, Man, Woman: A poignant story, great looking food, and some very cool Chinese cleaver skills.

3. Like Water for Chocolate: So romantic! Bring on the tissues... and some mole por favor.

2. Mostly Martha (the German original): A neurotic, German, perfectionist falls for a free-spirited Italian pasta chef. What's not to love?

1. Julie and Julia: Well, I won't spoil it for you. Go see it yourself!
