In honor of my lecture "Food and Faith" at Illinois State University's honor's program class called "Food" (Prof. Janet Moore) a few weeks ago, I wanted to offer a few films that Christians should watch, wrestle with, and enjoy. These films have everything to do with food and its telos in modern culture!1.) Babette's Feast (wanna understand the power of the Eucharist/Commuion? Watch this!)
2.) Dirt! The Movie (Fall in love with dirt)
3.) Fast Food Nation
4.) King Corn (An indictment of American culture and midwest living)
5.) Food Inc. (wanna be convinced to buy organic meat?)
6.) Beer Wars (the story behind the beer industry)
7.) Blood Into Wine

| The Feast from Babette's Feast |
9.) Food Beware: The French Organic Revolution
10.) Julie and Julia (this movie made me hungry...the best parts are about Julia Child, not Julie Powell)
11.) Ingredients
12.) Chocolat (Pagan...but demonstrates the grace of sweets)
13.) The Big Night
14.) Eat Drink Man Woman
*Some are feature films and others are documentaries...they are in no particular order, but enjoy. What do you think? What food movies should people of faith be imbibing?
