Good Housekeeping's 44 Best Thanksgiving Movies to Watch After the Pie's Been Served
- Page 2
"Christmas movies may get all the attention, but Thanksgiving movies have all the heart. The main elements of a Thanksgiving movie — people returning to their hometowns for Thanksgiving break, family togetherness, playing sports with your friends, & food, food, food — are just so cozy and homey. So when you're done with your turkey dinner & desserts, it makes sense to hunker down with a good film. Some of these films are good for everyone in the family. Others are better to save for when the kids are tucked into bed. Most use the Thanksgiving holiday as a backdrop, others span longer timelines but have very memorable Thanksgiving scenes. And some aren't specifically about Turkey Day, but work thematically, with motifs of food & family. And everyone knows that, once the last bite of pie is gone, it's the start of the holiday season, so we have some Thanksgiving-to-Christmas movies in there, too. Build these into your family traditions, along with food & football."- goodhousekeeping.com
