Thanksgiving movies


In all honesty, the only one I can think of is Planes Trains and Automobiles.

Any other ones that are not cheesy Hallmark movies?

Pieces of April (2003)

Although it's a TV special rather than a movie, it deserves mention: A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving (1973)

It's sad that this holiday gets so little mention. The minute Halloween ends the "Christmas" advertising dam breaks and we are inundated with all of this "Black Friday" rubbish. How ironic that a day set aside for being grateful has been supplanted by the manufactured need for more and more unnecessary (and often unwanted) material goods. You can "thank" the retailers, the advertising industry and the media for this.

Save the holiday season.

Confession: I Googled this, BUT will only list the ones I've actually watched. 😁

Grumpy Old Men (1993)
You've Got Mail (1998)

I don't remember them specifically being Thanksgiving movies so there's probably just a scene or one component of them involving Thanksgiving if I had to guess.

Ooh, I like that idea! I might have to borrow it from you for Mr fourlemons and me. 😊

I love the "Grumpy Old Men" movies! A great comedic swan song of two legendary actors.

reply

Agreed. I remember really enjoying them.

I always watch Grumpy Old Men the week of Thanksgiving as well.

Krisha (2015) is a drama that feels like a horror movie if you want something a little more dark.

Krisha returns for Thanksgiving dinner after ten years away from her family, but past demons threaten to ruin the festivities.
