Live Poll: Steak á la Cannibale
Intro:
Cannibalism is a no-go in each civilized society. It is a taboo speaking positively about eating people. On the other hand the taboo is such fascinating that several films were made about it. Breaking this taboo in movies is a great force for creating shocking moments or even crassly comedic situations.
Which of these movies is your favorite cannibalistic movie?
Please investigate here!
Suggestions:
Plain human cannibals. It should contain at least one cannibalism scene, eating or slaughtering and selling. No Zombies, documentations, animated, biography, TV-series. The rating should be at least 6.5/10. The rules are that strict to not get a flood of cheap grungy zombie trash and other trashy horror movies. Please notice: Keyword-search is only helpful for remembering movies you've already watched. Sometimes the given keywords lead to movies which don't match the criteria. Please be sure to know the movie you suggest.

Just added Shakespeare's Titus with ... Anthony Hopkins. At the end, Titus served the sons of her, Tamora, the Goth queen to their mother. While she ate them he told her. Ugly moment, but also impressing and bizarre.

@Breumaster ,
For your consideration, some films from this search:
https://www.imdb.com/search/keyword/?keywords=cannibalism&ref_=kw_ref_rt_usr&sort=moviemeter,asc&mode=detail&page=1&title_type=movie&user_rating=7.5%2C
American Psycho (2000)
Grindhouse (2007)
The Time Machine (1960) - A major plot point is that humans in the distant future devolve into two groups the Morlock and the Eloi. The Morlock are cannibals who live underground and prey upon the Eloi who live above ground.

Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street
in that classic Penny Dreadful story, orginnally titled “The String of Pearls”, Mrs Lovett takes Todd’s victims, chops them up and bakes them into her mince meat pies.
The story of Sweeney Todd has been done six times as either a movie short, movie, or made for TV movie.
