This is an oldie and Danish, but I really really enjoyed "Babette's Feast." It's subtitled, but has a wonderful message about service. Babette is a Catholic Frenchwoman fleeing persecution, and ends up cooking and keeping house for two elderly sisters. The sisters are keeping up a congregation of very strict, austere Protestants founded by their father. But they eventually let Babette prepare a meal celebrating their father's would-be 100th birthday, and everyone's pretty surprised.

It's like they took penance and poverty to a scrupulous extreme.

One of the loveliest movies I have seen in a very long time is [i]Arranged[/i] that came out in 2007 and can be found on Netflix. Its a 10 in my book.

The Body with Antonio Banderas (TV-14. This is a secular movie about Religion. A Religious friend thought it was a great movie. I on the other hand found it a little shaky, but others may like it. It had a little swearing and a Priest getting a little close with a woman.)

Great movie... very Catholic. Far better take on enjoying food compared to Julie and Julia.

I haven't watched Ip Man 2 yet, but the first one was amesome, much better than Jet Li's overrated film Fearless.
