12. The eating scene in the 1963 movie "Tom Jones."

[HamdenRice]

13. "Babette's Feast" and "The Big Night"

Oh, right, your OP already says that. But how can anyone top those? Their just the most sublime food movies ever.

BF because it mixes food with quite profound meditations about life choices, time, love and asceticism vs embracing life.

BN because of its meditations about food, art, and commerce, and terrific performances by Tony Shalhoub and Stanely Tucci. The worldless long take of Segundo (Tucci) cooking an omlette and serving it to Primo (Shaloub) and their waiter (Mark Anthony) is itself a masterpiece and one of the most redemptive moments in film history.

Both are magnificent movies.
