Would be great to see more gastronomic-themed movies, so far I found japanese film "Udon" (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0780167/) and this. I really enjoy watching the preparation of asian food:) any ideas?

Did you see the 1985 film Tampopo? It's a "noodle western".

DEFINATELY Taiwanese "Eat Drink Man Woman" by Oscar winning director Ang Lee. It should be available at your local blockbuster.

I know you didn't ask but for GREAT Asian horrors try Korean "A Tale of Two Sisters" and Thai "SHUTTER".

Don't miss these movies, it's better and more unique than anything out there these days =)

thanks to you too! I've seen Tale of Two Sisters many years ago, impressive movie (the music was amazing too!), but Shutter is new to me, thanks for the suggestion!

The Chinese Feast (Tsui Hark 1995; HK)
The movie that made me an Anita Yuen fan

If you're watching 'Fullscreen' DVDs, you aren't getting the whole picture.

Try this:
Estômago (2007) a very good film
Antique (2008) although is only about desserts
Simply Irresistible (1999)
Corazón de melón (2003)

Have you seen this hilarous movie :

Gai tung aap gong

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0095396/

Simple and yet efficient humour.
