I seem to have lost track of my summer task, to review as many food-themed films I haven't seen and visit some others as I can.
Julie and Julia really isn't on my list, as I found the book way too all-about-me on the part of the author, and I wonder why I need to see yet another person do a Julia Child imitation, no matter how good an actor Streep is. It's still an imitation.
I note that my local PBS station is celebrating J.C.'s birthday with a two hour fund-raising retrospective. I may watch it, but it's my birthday, too, so actually cooking something good might be a better use of time.
Back to movies: the LA Times came up with a reminder list of foodie friendly films from the past. I'd add some and subtract a few, but here they are, a nice mix:

No Eat Drink, Man Woman?
No Scent of Green Papaya?
No Babette's Feast!!!
Sigh, Eric H. in Reno
They were already on my list. My local video offered a free one for my birthday, so I watched "Woman on Top." Sometimes a banana is just a banana, but not in this one.
