RTÉ Radio 1’s The Arts Show had a look at foodie flicks this week, with Grainnie Humphries, Director Dublin International Film Festival, and Domini Kemp, Chef and Restaurant Owner, picking the flicks. They managed to come up with:
Babettes Gæstebud (Babette’s Feast)
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang
Chocolat
Goodfellas
Pulp Fiction
Ratatouille
Super Size Me
Willy Wonka
Which got me thinking of my fave foodie flicks. Which, like the RTÉ list, aren’t all purely about food but are sometimes just flicks in which food just features prominently:
Big Night
The Cook the Thief His Wife & Her Lover
Delicatessen
Dinner Rush
La Grande Bouffe (Blow Out)
Léon
Les Invasions Barbares (Barbarians At The Gates)
Monsoon Wedding
My Dinner with Andre
Yin Shi Nan Nu (Eat Drink Man Woman)
And one for the road … The Meatrix
