Romantic movies that prominently feature food are fairly common. From internationally acclaimed films like Ang Lee's "Eat Drink Man Woman" to Alfonso Arau's "Like Water for Chocolate" to more pedestrian fare like "Eat Pray Love," one doesn't have to be a foodie to realize the sensual appeal of films that combine romance with exotic locations, cultures and cuisine. Swedish director Lasse Hallström is no stranger to this genre, his film "Chocolat" earned five Academy Award nominations in 2001, including Best Picture, Best Actress (Juliette Binoche) and Best Supporting Actress (Judi Dench).
