Food Movies for upcoming movie nights:

Since we had a great time with Julie & Julia, despite the fact I have no TV suitable for watching movies, I still thought a list of movies would be a good star for future movie nights (and my other half is eyeing the new TVs about to go on sale with the World Cup). Leave your movie suggestion under in the comments!
