I think there are things that make Thanksgiving incomplete and these include the fixins like turkey, dressing, macaroni and cheese among others as well as some company in form of friends , family and of course fun.
The latter can involve all types of game such as entertaining card games while having dinner together as well as hanging Christmas tree lights before the next serious family-related holiday.
And while for some there isn’t anything better to watch on turkey day than football, here are a few extra shows – and for this crowd, from the tots you’re likely to have parked at the kids table to the spouses who’ve been watching you stress over food preparation all week and/or who might be supporting the argument that Black Friday shopping is far from relaxing.
As with every other holiday, Thanksgiving does not have a lot of cinematic representation unlike Halloween and all the chirpy Christmas films but there are, in fact, numerous films that can be categorized under Thanksgiving movies, which are focused on one of the major family events.
In fact, the entries on our list can be categorized as comedies, romances, road-trip comedies, horrors, fantasies, and even family dramas. Therefore, if you are not preparing to go to the theatres to watch Wicked alongside your relatives or Gladiator II and Moana 2, below are 36 movies well suitable to be watched at home on this Thanksgiving up to the holiday weekend.
‘Addams Family Values’
This is as far from the most traditional Thanksgiving movie that you could possibly get but the scene in this 1993 dark comedy where Wednesday ends up as Pocahontas in the Thanksgiving play at Camp Chippewa and decides to take revenge on her fellow camp peers portraying pilgrims is a definite must watch.
‘Black Friday’
A trio of employees of a toy store in the mainstream horror comedy film from 2021, with Devon Sawa, Michael Jai White, and Bruce Campbell, have way worse than a basic Black Friday experience as they become trapped overnight at work with hungry night crowds composed of parasitic organisms.
‘The Blind Side’
Some paths are legendary, and the story behind this 2009 biographical sports drama is easy to summarize, but nothing galvanizes like seeing Sandra Bullock’s Leigh Anne Tuohy bring in 17-year-old foster kid Michael “Big Mike” Oher the night before Thanksgiving… on Thanksgiving. (However, there has been real-life drama over this film: Oher has stated that he did not like the movie and the Tuohys have sued one another since the making of the movie.
‘Dutch’
This 1991 comedy is starring Ed O’ Neill as Dutch Dooley, the ordinary man who tries to survive a number of accidents on a road trip with his girlfriend’s spoiled brat of the son, Doyle, with whom he has to spend a Thanksgiving break transporting him from his prep school in Georgia to Chicago.
‘A Family Thanksgiving’
A woman, a New York high-powered attorney in this 2010 Hallmark Channel Original Movie, gets a second chance in life, challenging her stereotype as the single career woman when a kindly old lady shows her another world that made her a wife and mother on the Thanksgiving Day.
