Food in film - aka movies for Food Lovers.
This is an ever-evolving, always updating list of movies that have some sort of food element to them. Some are obvious, some have more obscure references—but they all inspire us to head into the kitchen to mix up some food or a drink.
Movies with a ✓ after them have already been featured at Food 'n Flix. Check the food 'n flix hosting page for a complete list of movies we've cooked from in the past, and movies we'll be cooking from in the near future.
If you're a blogger who would like to join us, please check out the announcement post for the month. If you know a movie that should be on the list, drop a comment below!
