Julie & Julia, Little Italy, Chocolat, Big Night, The Farewell

If you've been paying attention to Netflix's most-watched list as of late, you'll know that the film Nonnas is taking the world by storm. In the last week alone, it's done over 15 million views, and secured the top spot by a mile. But for those who've been living under an entertainment rock and are yet to catch the heartwarming flick (that's also based on a true story), let us enlighten you (Picture: Netflix/Everett/REX/Shutterstock)

Vince Vaughn stars as Joe Scaravella, a Brooklyn resident grieving his recently deceased mother. To honour her memory, he decides to risk everything and use her life insurance money to open up an Italian restaurant. The twist? He hires nonnas (aka real-life grandmothers) as the chefs. We're not crying, you are. With drama, tears, laughs, a family-oriented concept and mouthwatering food, it's the perfect Sunday afternoon movie to watch with the ones you love (Picture: Jeong Park/Netflix)

And because we've already watched it, we know that immediately after, you'll have a Nonnas-shaped hole in your heart. But lucky for you, we know the best way to fix it. Below, we've listed six films to catch if you loved Nonnas, and where to watch them. Saluti! (Picture: Jeong Park/Netflix)

Julie & Julia

In this biographical rom-com, Meryl Streep plays Julia Child, the American chef, author, and television personality recognised for bringing French cuisine to the US. Amy Adams plays Julie Powell, the young New Yorker, blogger and author. The film revolves around Julie's 2005 book Julie & Julia: 365 Days, 524 Recipes, 1 Tiny Apartment Kitchen, which was based on her blog, the Julie/Julia Project. Basically, Julie challenges herself to cook all the recipes in Julia's cookbook in one year. Simultaneously, the movie tells Julia's story and how she became a famous culinary figure against all odds.

Little Italy

Little Italy is set in Toronto's Italian neighbourhood. In a Romeo and Juliet-style love story, it follows Nikki and Leo, two young adults who fall in love despite coming from feuding families. So, where does the Italian food part come in, you ask? The forbidden couple's families own rival pizzerias in the district and have long spent their days sabotaging each other to try and become the best restaurant in Little Italy. Will Nikki and Leo's relationship survive the drama? There's only one way to find out…

Chocolat

Chocolat is a 2000 romance film, based on the 1999 novel of the same name by English author Joanne Harris. Much like Nonnas, the premise is simple but utterly heartwarming: Vianne and her six-year-old daughter Anouk drift around Europe looking to make a home for themselves. They eventually settle in a quiet and conservative French village, where Vianne opens up a chocolate shop just before Lent. Though at first, the villagers - and mainly the town mayor - disapprove of Vianne's presence and venture, she soon captures their hearts with her gentle and positive outlook on life.

Chef

Jon Favreau plays Carl Casper, a talented LA head chef who is fired from his successful job after igniting a Twitter war with a well-known culinary critic. Looking for a new path, he returns to his home city of Miami to open up a food truck with his friends and young son, with whom he is trying to reconnect. The film explores the special relationship between food and people, using it as a central theme to dig deeper into family, creativity, and personal growth.

Big Night

Set in 1950s New Jersey, two Italian brothers - one who's a chef and the other a businessman - set up an Italian restaurant called Paradise on the Jersey Shore. When the restaurant begins to fail due to a rival establishment competing with them, the brothers must do everything it takes to save their business. And with music legend Louis Prima in town, who coincidentally has a booking at Paradise, it's their last chance to make a good impression on their community.

The Farewell

While it might be lacking the foodie theme, The Farewell makes up for this in spades with its focus on family values - both positive and complex. Chinese-American Billi is an aspiring writer who maintains a close relationship with her Nai Nai (paternal grandmother) who lives in Changchun, China. When Billi finds out her grandmother has terminal cancer and has months to live, her family decide to keep it a secret from her, something Billi isn't happy about. Cue complicated family dynamics and an over-the-top wedding that may be a distraction from the more serious matters at hand.
