The last thing on your mind once you slowly slip into a food coma after the Big Feast tomorrow is getting up and doing anything active. In my family, it invites all kinds of things like the same stories from relatives, arguments, and questions from Mom and Dad about each of our plans for our futures. The best thing for my sanity, then, is to pop in a DVD to keep everyone quiet and entertained. While there are plenty of movies out there, we at Slashfood are, naturally, particularly fond of movies that have to do with food. Blogger Sean Timberlake has compiled a list of his favorite food movies, some of which are pictured above (each box links to Sean's review).
There are a few more on his list, but what are your favorites? Or are we just overdoing it a little, since the last thing you want to do after stuffing yourself is watching someone else do it on the screen for another two hours?

For Thanksgiving in particular, the movie What's Cooking is pretty good, by the director who later did Bend It Like Beckham. It's exceedingly sweet.

You know, I almost included Silence of the Lambs! Fava beans and a nice Chianti ... slurpslurpslurp.

Comfort & Joy - a Scottish film from the mid-eighties. Not only is it about feuding ice cream truck families, it also takes place around the holidays.
