Here's a more standard description:

In this humorous paean to the joys of food, the main story is about trucker Goro who rides into town like a modern Shane to help Tampopo set up the perfect fast-food noodle restaurant. Woven into this main story are a number of smaller stories about the importance of food, ranging from a gangster who mixes hot sex with food to an old lady terrorizing a shopkeeper by compulsive squeezing of his wares.

Ramen classic! I saw this film twice, both times on the IFC.

Reservior Dogs

and if you like heavy drama: Bad lieutenant with a great Harvey Keitel.

Bubba Ho-Tep http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0281686/

Starring Bruce Campbell as Elvis Presley living in a nursing home, and Ossie Davis as John F. Kennedy, who says he was patched up after the assassination, dyed black and abandoned by Lyndon Johnson. Elvis and JFK have to fight against an Egyptian mummy who sucks the souls out of the other senior citizens in the home. Awesome movie.

Time to bump this thread. Bubba Ho-tep is awesome. I saw that movie in an indie film house in Portland Oregon. The entire room was into it, it was great. Also, In Bruges is VERY funny too, recommend that one. I have all the movies listed here I have not seen in my blockbuster queue. Looking forward to them.

I am going to chuck Death at a Funeral into the mix. Great british comedy. The one liners and situations in this film are rediculous!

Bigger, Faster, Stronger
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1151309/
In America, we define ourselves in the superlative: we are the biggest, strongest, fastest country in the world. Is it any wonder that so many of our heroes are on performance enhancing drugs? Director Christopher Bell explores America's win-at-all-cost culture by examining how his two brothers became members of the steroid-subculture in an effort to realize their American dream

A great movie.

Bigger Faster Stronger is an excellent documentary. Highly recommended from me too.
