​MOVIE RECOMMENDATIONS FOR ​NOVEMBER 2021
 Welcome to November! With the holiday season upon us, we suspect you'll be doing a bit of eating this month.  With that it mind, we're giving you four films for foodies! So work up an appetite, then sit back and enjoy! Extra calories be damned! You can go back to the gym when the holidays are over!  For accurate information on how to help stop the spread of Coronavirus, go HERE.
"Chef" (2014 Aldamisa Entertainment) Jon Favreau, John Leguizamo, Emjay Anthony, Dustin Hoffman, Oliver Platt, Sofia Vergara, Scarlett Johansson, Robert Downey Jr. Amy Sedaris. Available on Amazon Prime Video and Apple TV. Also currently available on Netflix.
  • If you're looking for a fun "People" film, which will also make you hungry for a big sandwich, "Chef" is for you. "Chef" is a surprisingly excellent feel-good movie. For music fans, this film also features a great cameo appearance by Gary Clark Jr. 
Watch on Apple TV
"Julie & Julia" (2009 Columbia Pictures) Meryl Streep, Amy Adams, Stanley Tucci, Chris Messina, Linda Emond, Mary Lyn Rajskub, Jane Lynch, Joan Juliet Buck, Helen Carey, Casy Wilson, Andrew Garman. Available on Amazon Prime Video and Apple TV. Also currently available on STARZ.
  • Written and directed by Nora Ephron (Silkwood, When Harry Met Sally, My Blue Heaven), This may be our favorite "Cooking" film ever. Ephron based her screenplay on Julia's Child's autobiography "My Life in France" and Julia Powell's book "Julie & Julia: 365 Days, 524 Recipes, 1 Tiny Apartment Kitchen," melding the two works into a delightful film. If you haven't seen Julie & Julia, it's an excellent choice during Thanksgiving.
Watch on Apple TV
"Soul Food" (1997 Twentieth Century Fox) Vanessa Williams, Vivica A. Fox, Michael Beach, Nia Long, Mekhi Phifer, Brandon Hammond, Jeffrey D. Sams, Gina Ravera, Irma P. Hall, Mel Jackson, Carl Wright. Available on Amazon Prime Video and Apple TV. Also currently available on HBO Max.
  • Don't let the title fool you; it's not all about the food, "Soul Food" is a metaphor. However, there is plenty of mouth-watering food in this fantastic mid-nineties drama. The plot follows the interconnected lives of three sisters and reminds us that all families have good times and challenging times. The food scenes will make you hungry, so don't watch this on an empty stomach, or you'll be searching for "Soul Food near me" on Uber Eats.
Watch on Apple TV
"Like Water for Chocolate" (1992 Miramax) Lumi Cavazos, Marco Leonardi, Regina Torné, Yareli Arizmendi, Claudette Maillé, Ada Carrasco, Mario Iván Martínez, Pilar Aranda, Sandra Arau, Arcelia Ramírez. Available on Amazon Prime Video and Apple TV. Also currently available on HBO Max.

Nominated for a Golden Globe for Best Foreign Language Film in 1993, "Like Water for Chocolate" became the highest-grossing foreign-language film in the united states at the time of its release. So, if you're looking for a good story with some great food along the way, here it is. Enjoy!
