Best Food Films

[Boteroesque Babe]

Was programming an imaginary foodie film festival with someone the other night, and they suggested we make a list. Why can't I think of more than these?

Babette's Feast (I loved what this one said about denial versus pleasure.)
Big Night
Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory
Chocolat
Tom Jones (well, that one lustfully feasty scene)
Like Water For Chocolate
Eat, Drink, Man, Woman (Steaming pots, sizzling woks, and wet dumplings, all pornographically shot. Very nice story, too.)
Angel, Angel, Down We Go (a wonderfully eat-horny scene near the beginning)

Recommended to me, but I've not yet seen 'em:
Tampopo
The Road Home
La Grande Bouffe

TCM should do a foodie films night or something. What are your faves?
