<p>I like to cook, eat, and watch movies. When I can find some intersection of these three pastimes, I am a happy man. Therefore, I really dig movies about chefs. Here are a few of my favorites.</p>
<h2><a target="_blank" href="http://catalog.plsinfo.org/record=b1451678~S1"><img title="Tampopo film cover" hspace="6" alt="Tampopo film cover" align="right" width="210" height="300" style="border-bottom: rgb(162,17,20) 2px solid; border-left: rgb(162,17,20) 2px solid; border-top: rgb(162,17,20) 2px solid; border-right: rgb(162,17,20) 2px solid" src="/sites/teens.smcl.org/files/image/Blogs/food-film.jpg" /></a>Japan</h2>
<p>Billed as the first &ldquo;Noodle Western&rdquo; when it was released in 1985, <em><strong><a title="Tampopo" target="_blank" href="http://catalog.plsinfo.org/record=b1451678~S1">Tampopo</a></strong></em> is a Japanese comedy revolving around food and the art of eating. The main story involves two truck drivers who happen upon a roadside ramen shop run by a widow, and decide to help her save her failing business. As the three work together to create the perfect bowl of noodles, the film wanders off to show us a variety of oddball stories. A group of students learns the art of perfect noodle-eating (without slurping). A yakuza boss and his mistress explore erotic new uses of food, such as passing a raw egg yolk back and forth between their mouths while keeping it intact. In another scene, a shopkeeper is unable to catch an elderly woman who fondles his fruit, squeezing the best pieces before fleeing the store. This film is a strangely wonderful celebration of sustenance.</p>
<h2><a target="_blank" href="http://catalog.plsinfo.org/record=b1483967~S1"><img title="God of Cookery film cover" alt="God of Cookery film cover" align="left" width="131" height="180" style="border-bottom: rgb(162,17,20) 2px solid; border-left: rgb(162,17,20) 2px solid; border-top: rgb(162,17,20) 2px solid; margin-right: 6px; border-right: rgb(162,17,20) 2px solid" src="/sites/teens.smcl.org/files/image/Blogs/food-film2.jpg" /></a></h2>
<h2>Hong Kong</h2>
<p>Riffing on competitions like <em><strong><a title="Iron Chef" target="_blank" href="http://catalog.plsinfo.org/record=b1377023~S1">Iron Chef</a></strong></em> and more, <em><strong><a title="God of Cookery" target="_blank" href="http://catalog.plsinfo.org/record=b1483967~S1 ">God of Cookery</a></strong></em> takes the manic energy you may know from Hong Kong writer-director-actor Stephen Chow&rsquo;s <em><strong><a title="Shaolin Soccer" target="_blank" href="http://catalog.plsinfo.org/record=b1249008~S1 ">Shaolin Soccer</a></strong></em> and <em><strong><a title="Kung Fu Hustle" target="_blank" href="http://catalog.plsinfo.org/record=b1763003~S1">Kung Fu Hustle</a></strong></em>, and applies it to the world of competitive cooking. After losing his high standing to a sneaky nemesis and having to move back up the culinary ladder from the level of a street food vendor, the protagonist throws his Shaolin cooking style at his opponent, resulting in action-packed, lip-smacking laughs.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>New York City</h2>
<p><a target="_blank" href="http://catalog.plsinfo.org/record=b1772847~S1"><img title="I Like Killing Flies film cover" hspace="6" alt="I Like Killing Flies film cover" align="right" width="145" height="200" style="border-bottom: rgb(162,17,20) 2px solid; border-left: rgb(162,17,20) 2px solid; border-top: rgb(162,17,20) 2px solid; border-right: rgb(162,17,20) 2px solid" src="/sites/teens.smcl.org/files/image/Blogs/food-film3.jpg" /></a>Moving from comedy to documentary, <em><strong><a title="I Like Killing Flies" target="_blank" href="http://catalog.plsinfo.org/record=b1772847~S1 ">I Like Killing Flies</a></strong></em> brings the camera into Kenny Shopsin&rsquo;s eponymous Greenwich Village restaurant, where he serves <strong><a title="hundreds of dishes " target="_blank" href="http://www.shopsins.com/wp-content/uploads/downloads/2011/03/shopsinL114.pdf ">hundreds of dishes</a></strong> and maintains a very strict list of rules. No parties of five or more, every customer must eat, and if Kenny doesn&rsquo;t like you, he&rsquo;ll kick you out with a burst of profanity. Despite the seeming lack of hospitality, Shopsin&rsquo;s keeps a loyal and devoted following, mainly due to the no-nonsense atmosphere and the astounding variety of well-executed meals (Thai Cobb salad or macaroni &amp; cheese pancakes, anyone?). The film details the workings of the jury-rigged kitchen, interviews the regulars, allows Kenny to share his pessimistic philosophy, and follows him as he loses the lease he has held for 30 years and must move to a new location. Even though this is a very amateur documentary, the subject more than makes up for it, showing us the integrity that a chef can have, even as he kicks out a family of five with a barrage of four-letter words.</p>
<h2>Your Favorite Food Films?</h2>
<p>This is just a list of some of my favorites, and I have left off discussion of other fantastic ones, such as <em><strong><a title="Babette&rsquo;s Feast" target="_blank" href="http://catalog.plsinfo.org/record=b1450042~S1 ">Babette&rsquo;s Feast</a></strong></em> and <em><strong><a title="Ratatouille" target="_blank" href="http://catalog.plsinfo.org/record=b1765216~S1">Ratatouille</a></strong></em>. I&rsquo;d love to hear about your favorite films about food, if you want to leave a comment here.</p>

  <div class="content">
    <p>The Big Night was a film off the top of my head that I really enjoyed, although I guess the focus is more on the restaurant. It's got a surprising number of big names: Stanley Tucci and Tony Shalhoub, of course, but Liev Schreiber, Isabella Rossellini, Minnie Driver, and even Marc Anthony.</p>
