Poll Suggestion: Abominable Anthropophagists - Cannibalism in Movies

​During the conquest of Brazil (South America), the Europeans met a culture of cannibal fearless warriors known as the ​​Tupinambás​​. For them it was an honor to valiantly die in battle and be devoured by a worthy opponent.​

​Cunhambebe​​ (? – c. 1555) was the fiercest military Chief and he himself boasted having eaten hundreds of native enemies and more than 60 invading Europeans soldiers.​

​The technologically superior Europeans were already weary of fighting the Tupinambás and when the ​​Caetés​​, another human-flesh-eating tribe, shamelessly banqueted on the Pope's highest representative - ​​Bishop Sardinha​​ - the Portuguese resorted to the "Final Solution", biological warfare, namely the smallpox virus.​

​Having no immunity against white-man diseases, the estimated 75,000 cannibals went extinct. Cunhambebe died of bubonic plague. (Wikipedia)​

​Here follows a list of movies regarding or alluding to ​​cannibalism​​, fictional or historical.​

​Which is the most HAIR-RAISING title?​

Ravenous (1999) and The Green Inferno (2013) are two other films featuring cannibalism you might want to add to the list.
