February 9 marks Chocolate Day, the third day of Valentine’s Week.

Although cocoa beans taste anything but sweet, chocolate is quite possibly the most popular comfort food and dessert in the world. It is also a staple when it comes to choosing holiday gifts. On this day, people gift each other chocolates. This is also the time to indulge in chocolate and other sweet dishes without feeling guilty! Today, we present you with some movies in which chocolate has a starring role!

This movie is undoubtedly the most famous film about chocolates! Adapted from Roald Dahl’s eponymous novel, the movie centres around a poor boy named Charlie Bucket who gets the opportunity of a lifetime from the eccentric chocolate factory owner Willy Wonka: An endless supply of chocolates!

​The story is however an allegory about the danger of excesses and gluttony. However, it does have chocolate in centre stage! Chocolate River remains one of the highlights of the movie. ​

This Johnny Depp-Juliette Binoche movie is one of the most delicious romantic dramas in movie history! The film narrates the story of a pretty young chocolatier named Vivian, who moves into a remote French hamlet and opens a chocolate shop. There, she discovers a new purpose in life as well as love.

In the movie, chocolate becomes a popular choice of dessert among the villagers. However, it also emerges as a medium for rekindling family bonds, an escape from adversity, and a source of empowerment and agency.

​Based on a popular YA (young adult) novel of the same name by Robert Cormier, the movie revolves around a young man named Jerry Renault’s quiet rebellion against the oppressive hierarchy of an elite Catholic school. A chocolate sales event for fundraising becomes the focal point in the movie, representing Jerry’s refusal to blindly comply with the authority. ​

A cup of hot chocolate almost becomes the protagonist of this French psychological thriller. The movie revolves around the attempts of Mika, a Swiss chocolate company CEO, who tries to beguile her husband and stepson with a cup of chocolate. But her life turns upside down when she is accused of poisoning her stepchild.

Chocolate takes on a rather sinister avatar in this cosy little murder mystery. One fine morning, a chocolate shop owner finds a corpse near her store. To make matters worse, the body has wrappers from her chocolates on it!
