Must-See Movies for All Food Enthusiasts

If you're a food enthusiast (aka someone who salivates at the mere mention of all things edible), then midnight snacking sessions coupled with watching food-related movies are an integral part of your nighttime routine. Here's a list of movies to consider queuing on Netflix for one of those beloved sessions:


1. "Julie & Julia" (2009)




This Oscar-nominated film follows two women whose passion for cooking unites them through space and time. Whether you're looking for some much-needed inspiration or just another idea for a midnight snack, this is the movie for you! (Also, Meryl Streep, people!)


2. "Chef" (2014)



Love food trucks and strong female protagonists? Then this movie is a must-see for you! This star-studded flick follows a chef who is forced back to square one in his career after resigning from his job with an oppressive boss.


3. "Ratatouille" (2007)



An adorable mouse that cooks, you guys! Need I say more?


4. "The Lunchbox" (2013)




In this BAFTA-nominated film, a mistaken delivery in Mumbai's famously efficient lunchbox delivery system connects a young housewife to an older man in the dusk of his life as they build a fantasy world together through notes in the lunchbox.


5. "Waitress" (2007)



As a fellow victim of pie obsession disorder, I highly recommend that you have a pie and fork with you while watching this movie. The story follows a pregnant woman in an abusive relationship who bakes pies to relieve stress. This movie will leave you both hungry and empowered.


6. "Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs" (2009)



The protagonist makes a machine that converts water into food. It rains food, you guys!


7. "The Hundred-Foot Journey" (2014)



Hassan Kadam (Manish Dayal) is an extraordinarily talented and largely self-taught culinary novice. When he and his family are displaced from their native India and settle in a quaint French village, they decide to open an Indian eatery. However, Madame Mallory (Helen Mirren), the proprietress of an acclaimed restaurant just 100 feet away, strongly objects. War erupts between the two establishments, until Mallory recognizes Hassan's impressive epicurean gifts and takes him under her wing.


8. "Mostly Martha" (2008)


Heard of Catherine Zeta Jones' "No Reservations"? Well, this is the original movie that one is based on. As is the case with most original-remake cases, the original surpasses the remake by miles. You have to watch it and see for yourself!


9. "Burnt" (2015)


While this movie is heavily criticized for its less-than-perfect plot, as a food enthusiast, you'll probably be too busy salivating after the delicious food to focus on the flawed storyline.


10. "Today's Special" (2009)



In this underrated super feel-good foodie comedy, young Manhattan chef Samir rediscovers his heritage and his passion for life through the enchanting art of cooking Indian food.

11. "Toast" (2010)


If the breathtaking Helena Bonham Carter is not enough of a reason for you to watch this movie, here's a little peek into the plot: Nigel enters culinary school, starts working in a pub, and finds himself competing with his stepmother -- both in the kitchen and for his father's attention.
A food-off, c'mon!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
