15 movies that will make your mouth water, from Chocolat to Ratatouille
1. Chocolat
The film, directed by Lasse Hallström, stars Juliette Binoche (Vianne) and Johnny Deep (Roux). It is a hymn to freedom, love, change and, above all, chocolate. Absolutely not to be missed. In fact, can I have Johnny Deep covered in chocolate?
2. Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory
Chocolate again, but this time in a great classic of the '70s. In this case, fantasy and confectionery come together in a funny fantastic comedy (most recently remade by Tim Burton) Who wouldn't want a chocolate fountain in the living room?
3. Tastes and disagreements
A more recent romantic (sometimes dramatic) comedy, starring Catherine Zeta Jones as Kate, a successful chef at a restaurant at 22 Bleecker Street in New York City. Although the film is not a masterpiece, the scenes where food is the protagonist are shot really well and are mouth watering.
4. Ratatouille
Unmissable on any list where food is the protagonist.This 2007 animated film tells the story of Rémy, a Parisian mouse who is not satisfied with rummaging in the garbage but wants to become a chef, because "Anyone can cook". Must see!
5. The last vacation
In this film we find Queen Latifah and Gérard Depardieu. A film that few (or none) know of, but that will make you smile and reflect on life's opportunities and seize the moment. And obviously that will make you want to get in the kitchen and cook!
6. Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs (1 & 2)
Again this is animation. While they're not exactly culinary, the amount of food you'll see in these films could make you come and go hungry within an "hour. Both fun and greedy, they're worth a" look.
7. Marie Antoinette
The film directed by Sofia Coppola is a hymn to the opulence of the French courts, with a pop reinterpretation that follows the life of Louis XI's bride, Marie Antoinette. Do not miss the scene with sweets.
8. Julie & Julia
An unmissable film for those who want to know the story of the number 1 cook in america: Julia Child. The story of the film is based on a true story of Julia, a foodblogger who decides to make one Mrs. Child recipe a day. It goes without saying that you will want to cook. Or to learn how to do it if you are not capable.
9. Jiro Dreams of Sushi
It is not a film but a documentary, which tells the story of Jiro Ono, one of the greatest sushi masters in Japan, and owner of the Sukiyabashi Jiro restaurant, which boasts 3 Michelin stars. Unmissable for those who love sushi and for those who love foodporn. The photography of this film will blow your mind.
10. The president's cook
Inspired by the life of Danièle Mazet-Delpeuch, who was François Mitterand's personal cook from 1988 to 1990, it is a film that combines sensual French cuisine and the strength of character and temper of a woman capable of seducing even with her cuisine. inside the Eliseo. Delicieux!

The film, starring Brittany Murphy, the actress who died in 2009, tells the story of a young American student who, after being abandoned by her boyfriend, finds herself alone in Tokyo. where he will learn the ancient art of this typical Japanese dish. Unexpectedly interesting.
12. Waitress - Love recipes
An unassuming romantic comedy, starring Jenna and her bizarre-named desserts, which she prepares for the Diner she works in. The scenes in which she prepares the cakes are particularly greedy and the film has its funny moments. An ideal film for a relaxing evening.
13. Chocolate lessons
Let's move to Italy with this film directed by Claudio Cupellini, in which we see Luca Argentero, Violante Placido and Neri Marcorè. Ideal for chocolate lovers, who will find themselves wanting to lick the TV screen. At least in some scenes.

15. Feast
This video is a real tribute to "cinematic food". Even just in a scene, even for a fraction of a minute, food preparation, cooking or ready-to-serve dishes play an important role. Matt Zoller Seitz, for Thanksgiving 2009, posted on Moving Image Source this video. A must see.
