If you’re still digesting your Thanksgiving leftovers and vowing never to feast again, check out the list of anti-gourmand documentaries on the cinema blog Cinematical. Some are as familiar as the Golden Arches (Hi, Mr. Spurlock). Others are more obscure, like the doc on Calvin Trillin’s beloved Shopsin’s, I Like Killing Flies, or the world’s first eating-contest documentary, Crazy Legs Conti: Zen and the Art of Competitive Eating.
Dim the lights and bring on the Pepto!
Not exactly documentaries, but there’s also Richard Linklater’s adaptation of Eric Schlosser’s Fast Food Nation (2006) and Jean-Pierre Jeunet’s (Amelie, A Very Long Engagement) wacky Delicatessen (1991)– you’ll never want another sausage.
