The 38 All-Time Best Food Movies According to Eater
"Food has always played a meaningful role in film. Whether it's offering romantic depictions of Italian cuisine, or it's the way the 'The Menu' uses visceral horror & biting satire to critique the extravagance of luxury dining culture, food plays a crucial role in making the movies we love feel real. But what exactly constitutes a great food movie? Well, that really depends. Some are obvious picks — they are largely set in restaurants or kitchens, there are chefs involved, etc. Other films employ food in more subtle ways, to further the narrative or help us connect with a character. To celebrate the enduring connection between food & film, we spent the last several months thinking about the most essential food movies, eventually settling on 38 classics, cult favorites, & all the categories in between. The one thing that all of these films have in common is that they depict food, dining, cooking, or eating in relatable, often visceral ways." - eater.com
