Seven Hollywood Films That Will Give You Serious Hunger Pangs

Some movies make you hungrier for more than just popcorn and cola. Here are seven Hollywood movies that will leave you more than just a little peckish...

1. Chef

Even the scene of Jon Favreau making a humble cheese toastie is a sight to behold in Chef - an otherwise perfectly average comedy film but one that is certain to make you take a snack break

2. Waitress

Keri Russell plays a dispirited waitress with a flair for baking delicious pies inspired by her life in this movie. You're bound to a grow a sweet tooth (or four) after watching this one

3. Ratatouille

When a rat makes food sound as delectable as Remy does, you know you're going to be struck by severe hunger pangs the moment the final credits roll. Our favourite scene in particular, is at the climax when Remu and Liguini jazz up a humble dish of ratatouille for critic Anton Ego

4. Julie & Julia

When Julie Powell (Amy Adams) takes on the challenge to recreate all the recipes in Julia Child's (Meryl Streep) cookbook, you know it's going to be one heckuva tasty ride ahead

5. Chocolat

Vianne (Juliette Binoche) whips up some magical chocolate recipes that help shake a sleepy French town out of its stupor and in the process, the audience is charmed and struck by cravings too

6. Woman On Top

Just the sight of Penelope caressing a chilli in 'Woman On Top' is going to make you hungry for food... and a whole lot more

7. No Reservations

While this film is more of a heartwarming drama of how a top chef Kate Armstrong (Catherine Zeta-Jones) is thrown off balance when she has to start taking care of her orphaned niece, it's peppered with mouth-watering shots of plump scallops and elaborate desserts to make even the most diet-conscious among us, lose resolve.
