I believe the movie title is "Like Water for Chocolate."  A man is forced by
local custom to marry an older sister, but does not love her.  Instead, he
is madly in love with the younger sister.  He and his wife have a very
functional sexual relationship, resulting in a baby, but the baby is colicky
and the mother doesn't produce enough milk.  In one scene, the younger
sister finds her breasts fill with milk for her beloved's child.  It's a
very evocative bond that is portrayed between generosity, passion, and milk.


In a comedy, I think "Me, Myself, and Irene," Jim Carrey plays a man with
two personalities.  In one scene, shortly after his personality split, he
leaves a store and sees a woman nursing a baby on a park bench.  He removes
the baby, who cries, and the next scene he pops up with a milk mustache, so
we know he was nursing.   

On the TV show "My Wife & Kids" the father wears a large white lacy sort of
"granny-style" bra with bottle nipples inserted, and pretends to nurse his
daughter's baby.  He coos at the baby and brags about what a "strong latch
he has."  At the end of the scene, his teen son congratulates him on being
so nurturing.  He invites the boy over for a hug, and when he gets close
enough, the father uses the other "breast" to spray the boy with milk.  It
was a rather shameless and humorous way to handle his breast.  

In the movie "Meet the Fockers," Robert DeNiro's character also sports what
he describes as an exact replica of his daughter's breast, from a mold, so
he can nurse his grandchild and experience the bonding w/o interfering with
his daughter's breastfeeding.

Did anyone watch the first episode of Dancing with the Stars?  One of the
contestants recently had a baby, and mentioned that she was nursing -- I
think in reference to not wanting to be held too tightly by her dance
partner.
