12 foodie films that will make you want to cook

In most films, food largely happens off-screen, which is a damn shame, because I love to watch food. I love watching foodie centered films where characters stir soup, chop onions, sizzle steak, or swirl a fork of spaghetti over a plate. I enjoy a movie that takes place entirely at dinner, or a film that centers on a kitchen somewhere in Italy. It's comfort food, but for your eyes, and when it's done well, it's (again) delicious. This is a list of 12 of my favourite foodie films where cooking and eating plays an integral part of the plot, rather than merely being background. How many have you seen?
