What's your Favorite Food Movie?

All great movies ... but my all-time fav food film was a TV ad for Polly-O cheese. It was just two hands seen from above, making manicotti. It was a fabulous film of an expert chef making pasta and then ended with them brushing the flour off of their hands. Short but memorable. Wish I could find a copy of it.

Tampopo - all the way.
Babette's Feast a close second.

Danica--the ultimate scene in dining etiquette, in my opinion, is Leslie Caron learning how to eat an ortolan in "Gigi."

Someone has already mentioned it, but the German film mostly Martha is sooo wonderful! I love the beginning of the film, when she is describing how it isn't complicated dishes that are difficult to make, but simple ones. How poached salmon with Basil sauce is almost impossible - there is nothing to hide behind. I don't even like cooked salmon and I wanted to eat it!

Thanks for the topic! Here's a few of my favorites that aren't already listed...

Mostly Martha is a wonderful German film, currently being remade under different name as an American film. It is a great story about a female chef and her journey toward becoming more human.

Facing Windows is a favorite foreign film that has a breathtaking pastry scene!

I like Killing Flies is a fun (and crass) documentary about a diner owner/incredible cook in NYC.

Box of Moonlight is a fun little film with a great cookies-as-cereal scene, but not really about food.

I'm looking for good food movies with "dining etiquette scenes." There's a good one in Princess Diaries. Another one in "A League of their Own" featuring Rosie O'Donnell downing cookies. Can anyone think of other movies featuring funny dining etiquette scenes?
