NFT: Thanksgiving movies besides Planes Trains and Automobiles

Jints in Carolina : 11/24/2021 2:18 pm
How about Home for the Holidays starring Holly Hunter, Robert Downey Jr. and Anne Bancroft?

I love this movie...pretty freaking hysterical.

What other movies are good at Thanksgiving?

I always looked forward to watching the James Bond marathons on TBS or Spike with my dad, brother and grandfather. It was great having them on in the background.

Ed O'Neil plays a much tamer version of Al Bundy who is tasked by his rich fiance to retrieve her snobby son from boarding school and bring him to the big dinner.

A Finnish movie about Krampus. If you haven't seen it, it's a dark film.

I break this down into 2 categories  
Matt M. : 11/24/2021 4:02 pm : link
Movies I watched on Thanksgiving and movies involving and/or centered around Thanksgiving.

Movies watched: Far and away, March of the Wooden Soldiers (or Babes in Toyland as the other working title). This is the pre-colorized version. Unless the Giants were playing, which I think only happened once, this was the highlight of my Thanksgiving. A distant second was the original King Kong.

Movies involving Thanksgiving:
My first thought was Home for the Holidays - a very underrated film and Robert Downey Jr. was great in it...but so was the whole cast. I think this is the movie The Family Stone was trying to be and failed miseribly.

A close second was Planes, Trains, and Automobiles

Scent of a Woman comes in 3rd.

Thanksgiving is not mentioned, but you've got everything else.
Fall family gathering for a long weekend with people coming from long distances.
Family morning walks on the beach.
Family football game on the lawn.
Huge family dinners.
Family games.
If that doesn't scream Thanksgiving I don't know what does.
A movie that works Thanksgiving into the plot

You can't go wrong with Broadway Danny Rose. They work in the floats, the parade, have multiple references to his annual dinner, and then include it in the final scene in the movie.

It also includes the delightful Jack Klompus:
