Food flix.

Some movies with food as the theme:

TAMPOPO - A young woman wants to create the perfect
Japanese noodle restaurant.

EAT DRINK MAN WOMAN - Early Ang Lee film about a widower
and the banquets he prepares for his 3 daughters visits.

BIG NIGHT - Stanley Tucci as a guy who hopes if Louis
Prima visits his Italian restaurant business will pick up.

JIRO DREAMS OF SUSHI - Documentary about the creation of
perfection in raw fish and rice.

And it has Alan Rickman I mean, he's food for the soul maybe?

If wine qualifies, I'd add Sideways as well - Paul Giamatti is terrific....
