The 36 Best Thanksgiving Movies of All Time According to Men's Health

Okay, let's unpack just what the heck makes a Thanksgiving movie a "Thanksgiving movie" besides, just like, something set in November around a gluttonous dinner table. Sure, you've got your traditional gather-around-the-stuffing affairs like the classic A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving. But there's gotta be something a little bit more to this genre than turkey aesthetics. There has to be more than just theatrics.Ultimately, Thanksgiving is about colonial hegemony and fictional parley feasts used to sugarcoat genocidal invasion and... woah, sorry about that; you caught us reading from the Book of Uncomfortable Truths. While the historicity of the holiday—particularly that involving Pilgrims and Native Americans—is hogwash, the spirit of the celebration—gratitude found at the beginning of the harvest season, when food isn't just a superfluous decoration but a means of winter survival—can be found in all cultures. Which is why a "Thanksgiving movie" doesn't have to be an American movie.
