What Movies are really good cooking movies. Not ones that show you how to cook, but tie cooking and food into the storyline?

this wasnt a popular movie but i thought it was a cute and simple piece. "woman on top" starring penelope cruz.
synopsis:
Isabella is a great cook, making her husband's restaurant in Bahia, Brazil, a success. To control her motion sickness, she must do the driving and be on top during sex, which drives her macho husband, Toninho, to infidelities. Heart-broken, she leaves for San Francisco, moving in with her childhood friend, Monica, a cross-dresser. To mend her heart, she makes an offering to Yemanja, the goddess of the sea. The goddess responds: Isabella no longer loves and the fish in Bahia no longer bite. Stricken, Toninho heads north to get her back; he finds her hosting a popular TV show, Passion Food, courted by its producer. Can he learn humility? Can she find happiness without him?

Burger Time
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 (Great Chili cook-off!)
The Silence Of The Lambs (Hannibal Y'all!)
Critters 2 (they lured the critters in using a factory full of cheeseburgers!)
Okay I WAS serious about Burger Time though... ;-)
