'''''Garlic Is As Good As Ten Mothers''''' is a [[1980]] [[documentary film]] about [[garlic]] directed by [[Les Blank]]. In [[2004]], the film was selected for preservation in the [[United States]] [[National Film Registry]] by the [[Library of Congress]] as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".
It was filmed at the [[Gilroy Garlic Festival]] in [[Gilroy, California]], as well as in other locations in [[Northern California]]. Its official premiere was at the 1980 [[Berlin Film Festival]].
The director recommends that, when the film is shown, a toaster oven containing several heads of garlic be turned on in the rear of the theater, unbeknownst to the audience, with the intended result that approximately halfway through the showing the entire theater will be filled with the smell of garlic.[http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A18754-2005Mar8.html?nav=hcmodule]
