A blogger develops an embarrassing fixation on an author with a TV show (Meryl Streep). She probably shouldn't be telling people this:
"I have conversations with her while I'm cooking. And I feel like she is there with me in the kitchen."
"She's like your imaginary friend."

Driected by Nora Ephron. Frustrated writer resorts to blogging, decides to cook all the recipes from a well-known cookbook. Apparently a true story.
Five and a half foot Meryl Streep plays six feet two inch author of the original book in flashback.
In this scene, Julie's husband reassures her when Julia Child hears about the blog and doesn't approve:
"Look, there's something wrong with her if she doesn't get what you're doing."
"There's nothing wrong with her. Nothing. I spent a year with her. She's perfect."
"The Julia Child in your head is perfect. The Julia Child that doesn't understand what you're doing is not perfect. The one in your head is the one that matters."

Movie bounces back and forth between Julia Child's story and that of this woman Julia (Amy Adams) and her blog.
Snotty Frenchwoman: "Miss Child, you have no real talent for cooking, but the Americans will never know the difference!"

We do! Maybe the board doesn't have many Meryl Streep fans... maybe I need to grab their attention with something really obvious, and I'll even leave the name in...

Never seen The Shining, but that scene's been parodied so often that it's hard to miss.

This could go in either category. British TV series released as a movie here:
"You know, when someone dies, and they go to the funeral, and they say, you know, 'We should have done this when he was alive! He would have loved this!'"
"Hmmm, what, cremated him?"

In a restaurant, one criticizes the other's impression:
"You're not doin' it the way he speaks. You're not doin' it with the kind of--and you don't do the broken voice, when he gets very emotional--when he gets very emotional indeed. She was only sixteen-years-old. SHE WAS ONLY SIXTEEN-YEARS-OLD. YOU'RE ONLY SUPPOSED TO BLOW THE BLOODY DOORS OFF! That's Michael Caine."

First lines:
"Hello."
"Hi, Rob. Steve."
"Hiya. How are you?"
"Good. Good. Hi. uh. Listen. Are you free next week? To go away?"
"Where?"
"Uh, it's kind of a tour. A tour of the north. Restaurants, really good restaurants."
"Right. Why me?"

Steve Coogan tells Rob Brydon that he has planned to bring his girlfriend on the trip, but she was unable to join him:
"She's a very confident foodie and I thought she could help me and I wanted to show Mischa the, you know, the North. Show her a piece of me. "
"You're from Manchester. You could take her round and show her the gun crime sites."

I know of The Trip to Italy and The Trip to Greece, but this sounds like a different movie in the franchise that I haven't heard of Your quotes mention the North... The Trip to the North?

Close enough! The first one was simply The Trip.
Your turn, Josie!

Sounds like an adaptation of the Cinderella story.

It sounds like it because it is, and the title actually is just Cinderella, so you got it! You're on a roll!
