{Disney's Lady and the Tramp}
I think this is how it started...
{Babette's Feast, 1987}
I was too young to understand the nuances, but it got me hungry!
{Like Water for Chocolate, 1992}
{Eat Drink Man Woman, 1994}
{Big Night, 1996 - Isabella Rossellini looking stunning as usual}
The '90s served forth many epicurian treats (food + more :)).
{Chocolat, 2000}
{Ratatouille, 2007}
And I couldn't say no to Juliette Binoche or cute Pixar creatures.
{Eat Pray Love, 2010}
I admit, I read the book first and the movie (understandably) couldn't capture all those evolving inner thoughts. But it will make your stomach cry: vino, pizza and pasta! (And then you'll want to hop the next plane to Italy :)).{I'll be traveling all day and so sorry I can't visit your lovely blogs right away! Can't wait to visit and comment when I'm back online!}

the film that is supposed to be brilliant and along the line of Babette's feast is "I am love" with Tilda Swinton. Love all your photos for food films.
ReplyDeletehope to catch "Eat Pray Love" while it is playing in Japan, I also read the book before the movie, loved it!
ReplyDeleteI so wanted Mexican hot chocolate after watching Chocolat, and I dont even like chocolate.
ReplyDeleteI love food and I love movies, so naturally this is right up my alley :)
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to watch Eat Pray Love!
Aw, I just adore everything about this post! Well done, Jude!
ReplyDeleteThe film Chocolat is one of my all time favorites, who can resist Mr. Depp
ReplyDeleteYum, now I'm starving!
ReplyDeleteFood and film go so well together don't they? That scene in Lady and the Tramp is classic. All the chocolate in Chocolat makes my mouth water each time I watch it. I'm surprised you didn't mention Julie and Julia! While I didn't care much for the book that movie was wonderful and full of nothing but food.
ReplyDeletethose pictures make me really hungry,jude. anyway, i love the vintage pictures, and really look forward to seeing 'eat pray love' :)
ReplyDeleteYou're right food in the movies always works on my tummy.
ReplyDeleteRatatouille, it gets me everytume.
I haven't watched or read Eat Pray Love. I'd like to read it first.
Wonderful post.
Happy travels.
such a great post! and so very true!!
ReplyDeletei love chocolat!
ReplyDeleteoh meet too! xxxx
ReplyDeleteI have seen them all except Eat,Drink,Man, Woman - must get that one. Babette's Feast started my love affair with dining - adored that movie.
ReplyDeleteHappy Travels.
Awww the Lady & the Tramp really made me smile :) I love food in movies too! I never though of how I love it until, but I definitely do. haha
ReplyDeleteHappy Thursday! :)

Haha! Lady and the Tramp totally started my food obsession! That was my most favorite scene ever. In fact, I can hardly recall any other scenes in the movie except for when the couple owners are eating in the beginning. Oh, and Garfield and his lasagna always made me so happy!
ReplyDeleteoh I just loved this ! such fun and gorgeous looking everywhere you look !
ReplyDeleteWhat a great post Jude!
ReplyDeleteLove Lady and the Tramp!!
I love food in movies-
ReplyDeleteGreat movies there too!
Girl your making me hungry! Even though a rat is holding it that omelet looks good! I'd eat it :D
ReplyDeleteXoxo

I agree that food in movies takes them to a whole different level...
ReplyDeleteSince you mention Chocolat, you might be interested in reading a novel by the same author of that book. The book is called 5 Quarters of the Orange, or something like that, and there's all kinds of wonderful food imagery in it. There's no movie version, but lots of great descriptions of blackberry syrup and things like that. There's also quite a good story there.
yummy... i love all....
ReplyDeletexoxo
Love it! EPL and Ratatouille! Good timing...I am sitting here full and happy as an old friend just came over and made the most delicious pizza from scratch. Everything, the sauce, the dough...oh the dough! It totally reminded me of EPL. I'm going to have to go to India after this night ;)

ReplyDeleteI have been trying to get my hands on Chocolat without much success, sigh!
ReplyDeleteGreat post! I too am hungry now! Have a sweet day!
ReplyDeleteThat's a great post, Jude! I began melting away when I saw that first picture (Lady and the Tramp) :-)))
ReplyDeleteAh..Chocolat...what a lovely movie that was and curiously enough I was thinking a couple of days ago that I'd like to see it again.
ReplyDeleteWe were down in the Dordogne and stopped in Beynac when they were filming that. It was very low key and I suspect we could have hung around on the sidelines to watch but assumed it was 'just' a French TV programme. It was only when I saw the film that I recognised scenes.
Me too! I think there isn't enough food and cooking in moves! I saw a preview for this last night:

Perhaps it is already playing in the UK? But there were some fantastic food, cooking, and meal scenes in the preview!

BB
Yum. I am afraid what will happen if I watch Eat Pray Love...
ReplyDeleteJeannie - oh, I hope you get your hands on it! It's a rather delicious combo of Binoche, Johnny Depp, and of course, food :)
ReplyDeleteTorie Jayne - thanks so much! :)
Rosie - aw, thank you!! That's so sweet :)
Angelcel - how funny you wanted to watch Chocolat recently & that is such a great story! I love hearing things like that, makes the movie even more special :)
BB - I want to see it! Thanks so much (Tilda Swinton is one of my favorite actresses to watch :))
Lucy - haha! Get the travel bags ready :)
