Well shit, that's what I was going to post.

Some Asian Thinks About Fish

>>4248879

Do you mean the one about the senile old dude in a Tokyo metro station making sushi for a few people a day?

>>4248874

So, I actually haven't seen this one.

If I asked for good kung fu movies and was given Kung Fu Hussle, I'm not sure what I would think. Is this actually worth watching?

>>4248872

bunch of plebs as usual

wasn't there a thread on that film about the obsessive old susi chef

>>4248990

>>4248999
trips? but I came for dubs

I'll do anything sexual. I don't need a million dollars to do it either.

>>4248892

It's a good movie but it's comedy, not serious kung fu

>>4249043

My fave

>>4249048
how bout you leave for good

>>4249071

I definitely thought Kung Fu Hustle was a good movie, but would call it a comedy, rather than a martial arts movie. I'm wondering if it has some good food scenes.

>>4249080

After the rice-omelette scene from the movie I'm obviously currently watching, the final scene with the basic eggs fried in olive oil, served with day old bread, is one of my favorite food movie moments.

Bitch plz

>>4249098

/ck/ never fails to let me down... but it can nonetheless try a little bit harder.

The Chinese Feast, 1995

Great movie with great actors and a bunch of incredible meals (plus tofu-carving)

>>4249109

>>4249161

Beerfest.....beer is a food, right?

http://vimeo.com/44010076

It's a short, 7 minute film. It's not my favorite, but it's what came to mind first.

One of these posts about Jiro was made by me, but I guess the sarcasm was lost...

Probably also my biggest guilty pleasure, but it is a pretty fun movie

>>4249246

As much as I've tried (and I have), I've really never gotten into Greenaway.

No Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs? I'm disappointed, /ck/.

>>4249606
Whats wrong with Bar Rescue?

>>4249675
nothing i like bar rescue

>>4249011
Yeah, without a doubt, a movie with pretty much nothing to do with food is definitely one of the greatest food movies of all time.

I wish more people on here would watch Supersize Me, too many people here are dependent on their chickenmuck nuggets for my liking.

But, in the spirit of most of these posts so far:
Hard Boiled
Beetlejuice
Stir Crazy
American Pie
A Fish Called Wanda
Naked Lunch

And so on

>>4250030
Hard Candy
Chopper
Raw Deal
Southern Comfort
Wheels on Meals
Delicatessen

>>4250030
As far as Supersize Me goes, it's not actually a very good documentary. Great that it brings attention to how some people eat fast food all the time, but suddenly eating great amounts of fast food every day, refusing to walk all of a sudden, going supersize whenever asked, isn't reasonable. Of course he's going to throw up if he force feeds himself like that. Ask someone overweight who eats fast food all day, every day, to suddenly increase their calorie intake so much and they'll probably throw up to. It doesn't have much to do with the fast food itself.

I do like it, though, since I love food documentaries.

>>4250257
I agree it's not a very scientific approach, and any radical change in diet will have adverse effects, but anything that scares people away from that place is good in my book.

Everything about it just... It makes me so mad! Even leaving out the health implications, the way it's marketed at children, the way the "food" is deliberately made addictive, the effects on the environment, on small businesses, on their employees...

For me, it embodies everything that is bad in this world.

The original was obviously better, but 2 was still great.

>>4250269
I feel inclined to disagree again when you say "anything that scares people away". I think a more reasonable approach should be taken but I understand that, sometimes, people can be impractical and need to be scared away. However, 'scare tactics' can end up with people insisting animal products, such as red meat or butter, are bad for your health and refuse that sometimes, it's okay.

Is the food actually deliberately made addictive? Are you referring to HFCS? If that's the case, it's more that they used it because it's cheap, later found it may be addictive, and ignored that (which is morally ambiguous but at least they didn't set out to use addictive ingredients). I think big corporations can't be relied upon to make good moral decisions, though of course it would be great if they could. Something like that rather needs to be greatly discouraged / enforced.

I think there are worse things than the evils capitalism can cause.

>>4249288
One of my favourite movies of al ltime. The sort that gives you a warm memory when you remember watching it.

I even have a recipe to make the dinner party food.

>>4249270

>>4252024

Does anybody have anymore suggestions for awesome food movies?

Nobody has mentioned Eat Drink Man Woman yet, for example.

Will be bumping with more Tampopo, so give more suggestions.

>this is for a good cause.

>>4252929
>Eat Drink Man Woman

That's because it fucking sucks. You're more likely to have people suggest Drunken Master.

god of cookery (the dude from kung fu hustle is in it)

>>4250030
>>4250250

Some of these aren't even food movies. Their titles are just food related.

>>4253107

I'm pretty sure we could all agree that this goes without saying.

>>4249230
What movie?

>>4254854

If you mean the picture, it is a screenshot from "Tampopo", the same movie since OP (and an amazing movie if you haven't seen it).

>mfw the entire opening sequence to Oliver

>>4253062
Eat Drink Man Woman is one of the best movies ever, faggot. Get on my level, pleb.

>>4255033

>>4255077

I'm guessing he never actually saw the movie, and was perhaps thinking of "Tortilla Soup".

>>4248874
Wait, is that God of Cookery?

>>4249984
Wow

>>4248851
I has already seen Tampopo, but went to see it with a friend who had to watch it for a comp lit course. Since there were no Japanese noodle shops in town, the first thing we did was go down to the Vietnamese noodle shop a block off campus and slurp the fuck away. That move makes me so fucking hungry.

>>4255379
also,
>mfw Tampopo is being discussed on 4chan

I mentioned Tampopo once on /tv/ and they just asked if there were any good loli in it.

YOU SEE MOOT, WE NEED A /flm/ BOARD!

It's not even a big part of the movie, but fuck, this scene gets me hungry for some italian.

And I normally really don't like italian.

>>4249109
>posting weeaboo shit nobody outside of /a/ cares about
>complains about other people's submissions.

>>4255425
/a/ would know jack shit about Tampopo... they only know the americanized modern shit. It's not even about the fact that it's from Japan. It is just a brilliant movie, period. In fact, I tend to dislike Japanese media, thus Tampopo stands out as even better considering its origin's handicap.

>>4255443

Glad to see Tampopo, and this thread, getting some support.

>>4255392

>YOU SEE MOOT, WE NEED A /flm/ BOARD!

I agree with this 100%

I watched Tampopo thanks to this thread and I enjoyed it a lot! I was amazed by this fluffy omelette, I'm going to try and make it for breakfast right now!

>>4261087

>I watched Tampopo thanks to this thread and I enjoyed it a lot!

Awesome. I've honestly been waiting for some anon to tell me to stop bumping my own thread, but it makes me happy to know that at least someone discovered this amazing movie.

>I was amazed by this fluffy omelette, I'm going to try and make it for breakfast right now!

It might be a little too late, but post pics!

>>4261154
I ended up browsing /ck/ some more so I saw your post before I cooked! Unsurprisingly, it didn't go as well as in the movie! It doesn't look appetising at all!

I'm going to try again at lunch. I think I had the heat too high this time.

I also took a picture for the WAYET thread >>4261240

>>4261154

>>4248851

Tampopo is AMAZING. Itami is one of the greatest film directors of all time and is easily one of the greatest to come out of Japan. He is right up there with Kurosawa.

Anyway, for those of you that have not seen Tampopo. Go download the 720p rip of the film at asiatorrents. It'll make you want to eat food sooo badly. http://www.asiatorrents.me/index.php?page=torrent-details&id=ae5f9230ac8095a3084b9c68891734fcadfa033c

>>4261087

I eat eggs almost every day and when I cook them, I make them almost exactly like they are done in the film.

BTW, The director of the film is the guy making them. He was such a perfectionist that he had to make the eggs so that they would turn out just right on film and for the kid who was going to eat them.

>>4263088

I vaguely recall reading about that movie. Wasn't it really famous in Japan?

You guys are making a HUGE oversite by sleeping on this film,
"The Cook, the Thief, His Wife & Her Lover"

Also "I like killing flies" a doc. About an amazing restaurant named Shopsins is fucking solid gold.

>>4249271

This movie haunted me after I saw it. It is an excellent film, but I felt truly awful for the characters. The fork-stabbing scene was freaky.

>>4263173
>remember she is nearly 70

Um, yeah, she was in her early 40's when the movie was made.

>>4263039
>The director of the film is the guy making them

I did not know that. Thanks for the info; it just makes me praise the film even more.

>>4263215

The key to making eggs like that is to cook them rapidly at very very high heat. Preferably in some bacon grease or coconut oil. The eggs will be fluffy and light and be finished cooking in seconds. You want to stop cooking them right before they get rubbery.

It is sort of like how Julia Child cooks the omlette in this video. Dat speed and heat is the secret. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RThnq3-d6PY

>>4263442

I actually first learned about this method of making omelettes from Julia Child (from her "Mastering the Art..." cookbook), but have always had difficulty with it.

The funny thing is, I'm pretty sure I've watched all the episodes of her original TV show, but don't remember this one (it's been awhile); I found it amusing that she used chopsticks for part of it.

I typically make my omelets more "American" style, which means using low heat and ending with bigger curds. Here's a video that gives the two different versions:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=57afEWn-QDg

Taking them off the heat before they look done (=they get rubbery) is definitely the one thing most people seem to mess up with eggs in general.

The speed and heat is the thing that I've just never been too comfortable with. I've worked in kitchens, but have never done breakfast, and I usually poach my eggs or do them over easy, so I've never really put the time in to get this method down.

Where this - >>4261242 - anon went wrong was probably with the speed, and taking the eggs out before they really look done (carry over cooking), as opposed to too high of heat (thanks for the pics, btw).

>>4263173
I didn't mention anything about getting off, or any specific characters from the film.

It's simply just one of the best films that have food/cooking at it's core.

>>4263531

Why are so many anons so obsessed with Gummo?

I liked it when it first came out, when I was like 13. It certainly has nothing to do with food...

>>4263687

he has spaghetti, get over it. its food related. but i think gummo is a terrible movie.

>>4263687

It was all the rage when I was in college in the late 90s. 4chan has a huge number of college aged kids. It just seems really "profound" to people who were raised watching non-artsy-fartsy films and suddenly they're in school and all these new ideas and such are thrown at them. Same reason why nutella seems inordinately popular on /ck/. This board isn't populated by normal people, it's the perpetual freshman year in college for flyover folks who were raised on fish sticks and wonder bread.

Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2

>>4263837

OP reporting in: I should have specified from the get-go that "Julie and Julia" need not be mentioned.

The only redeeming factor of that piece of trash was the fact that they were willing to include Julia Child's reaction to the entire project, which was utter disgust and a sense of insult to French cuisine and food in general.

>>4249080
Big Night is excellent, good choice.

Once every couple years, my friends and I skip breakfast and lunch and get together to watch this before going out for a huge noodle dinner and drinks. This film will give you the most ravenous of erections for a hot bowel slurp durps.

What the fuck /ck/, NO mention about the Korean movie 301-302? It's one of the best food movie ever. It's very raw. Lots of beautiful food stuff.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/301,_302

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/301,_302

>>4266941
Forgot to mention, 301-302 is a bit of a mind-fuck movie, lots of fucked up things in the plot. Think rape, etc.

>>4266918

I've honestly bumped my own thread for close to an entire week now. This is the first time I've ever come close to doing thins. You, my fellow anon, are the reason and justification for my doing so. This imaginary place we go to called /ck/ can find great wealth in the film called Tampopo; this is what I believe...

>>4266941
>>4266949

This sounds like an awesome suggestion, and is a film I have yet to come across. However, your torrent link does not seem to work (for me at least, being in the U.S.). I'm nonetheless going to try to search out a decent copy...

Nobody has mentioned Soylent Green??

>>4266971 again
Here's a pic, BTW. Yummy.

>>4266941
Disgusting.

No Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory?!

Also, "Pieces of April", which starts out with the title chick trying to cook a turkey for her family's Thanksgiving dinner.

I dunno. I don't think it was that great of a movie (the writer and director were in a virtual sense bashing the audience over the head with a two-by-four cluebat for the entire movie), but a lot of people really loved it.

>>4266941
Gonna watch it. If it's shit, I'm gonna eat your liver. I hate wasting time downloading and watching bad movies.

Watched The God Of Cookery last night because of this thread. Amazing. Downloading Tampopo and 301, 302 as we speak.

I watched I Like Killing Flies today and it was definitely enjoyable! I thought it might be a creepy kind of documentary because of the title and the cover but it's heart warming and funny. It's a bit slow in a amateur documentary kind of way. If you like Jewish humour, this might appeal to you.

>>4268216

If you enjoyed the movie, then I would recommend picking up the book (Eat Me: The Food and Philosophy of Kenny Shopsin).

I received the book as a gift a few years ago, and while it certainly isn't the best cookbook, it really reflects its subject matter, and is something I keep coming back to while taking a shit...

I honestly lived in NYC for a few years awhile back, but didn't hear about Shopsin's until I was given the book, and subsequently watched the documentary. Next time I'm back in the city I'm definitely going to try it out.

My impression is that it is expensive, and over glorified diner food, but based on how awesome it looks, and the fact that a single plate of food there will fill you up for an entire day, I am looking forward to actually trying it.

Tampopo is the one that comes to my mind

but Babette's Feast will get you hungry ,too

>ctrl-f

>>4271821

>>4272841

>>4274690

Bumping until I run out of screenshots from the greatest food movie ever made. If you disagree then give me something to watch.

Babette's Feast, Julie and Julia, Big Night, Eat Drink Man Woman. There was a really nice one with Hector Elizondo, but I can't remember the name of it.

Under the Tuscan Sun is a real chick flick, but some of the meals she prepares are amazing...still can't compare to Babette's Feast though.

Someone post a picture of Supersize Me, please

>>4275473

For your effort, combined with your intention, I award you a 0/10.

A Chef In Love, Cruel Restaurant, Ramen Girl, erotic food scene in Tom Jones

Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle.

I watched Babette's Feast from the recommendations of this thread, and it was just kind of 'meh'. The actual feast scenes were to die for, but it was painful getting to them.

Not really related, but still.

>>4278942

>>4280074

>>4280689

Damn. I've been getting new recommendations almost every time I've bumped this thread (longer than I've ever bumped a thread - but due to the positive feedback I figured what the fuck, lets indulge those who have actually seen Tampopo, and perhaps bring /ck/ up a notch by getting some anons to view it for the first time).

Due to the slow down in the responses, however, I'm starting to think that /ck/ really is only frequented by the same 20-30 anons, and they have already given their 2 cents...

>>4279072
I honestly find it odd whenever I see a Japanese anime being adapted into a Taiwanese/Korean movie/tv show

>>4281468

I would say that despite the popularity of anime in America/Europe, Eastern countries such as Taiwan and South Korea are probably much more reliant on Japanese cartoons for entertainment compared to the Western world.

ITT: My movie is best movie, and my oprinion is best oprinion. You rike mine movie now I show you many screen shot.

>>4284851

>>4286835

I'm almost out of screen shots, so will hasten the inevitable 404.

Is there really only 20 or so people on /ck/, all of which have already responded?

In any case, thank's for all the replies. I've already found a small handful of films I've yet to see, and have already watched what turned out to be a couple good suggestions.

If anybody has anything not yet listed, contribute for the sake of food cinema.

>>4287214

Does anyone else have memories of Biodome?

In particular, I always think of the scene where they escape from the broom closet and find the emergency rations (and laughing gas).

I can't remember if its Pauley Shore or the other guy, but one of them opens up a can of Spam and just starts shoving it into his mouth with his hands.

It's definitely not the most elegant food scenes, but I always seem to remember that one scene, and in a strange way it makes me crave spam.
