Nora Ephron's classic tale "When Harry Met Sally" has nothing much to do about cooking and eating, but it nonetheless introduced viewers to arguably the best turkey sandwich. Hordes of movie fans then and now have wondered if it indeed tasted so good that Meg Ryan had to moan the way she did after taking a bite. Katz's Delicatessen, purveyor of the now classic sandwich, still hangs a sign at the spot where the iconic scene was shot, which says, "Hope you have what she had! Enjoy!"

But far more hunger inducing was Ephron's silverscreen rendering of "Julie and Julia". A festive visual account of how food connected two different worlds, the film delectably captured the joys of life through cooking and dealing with a lot of butter, as French cooking legend Julia Child called for in most of her dishes.
Behind the scenes, food stylist Colin Flynn intimately followed Child's specifications for boeuf bourguignon, The Queen of Sheba cake, and most other recipes. "But then there was a lobster thermidor," he told Smithsonian.com, "and we used potatoes instead, because nobody wants to sit in front of lobster and have to eat it take after take." In real life, however, many would not mind gorging heaps of tender crustacean meat, corn, and potatoes on the side.

How about the calories? "Groundhog Day" reminds everyone that if one gets trapped in the dilemma of reliving the same day over and over, then bring on all the glazed doughnuts. And when a loved one asks about the love handles, the thing is to gobble up a hefty slice of angel food cake to show it's never a cause for worry.
