Favorite Thanksgiving Movies

[Gonzo]

Love holiday themed movies. Some of these are centered on Thanksgiving, others aren't quite as focused on the holiday but it's a clear part of the story.

My top 5:

1. Planes, Trains, and Automobiles
2. Home for the Holidays
3. Hannah and Her Sisters
4. The Ice Storm
5. Rocky

I personally think they should play Planes, Trains, and Automobiles on a loop for 24 hours on Thanksgiving the way they do with A Christmas Story at Christmas.

There was a show called Fransgiving (unrelated to Coach Fran McCaffery). Well… this gal Fran was in a giving mood!!

I've never seen any of those in the OP and honestly can't think of a movie around Thanksgiving. There is a horror movie coming out called Thanksgiving I plan on streaming

Ok…Planes, Trains and Automobiles is the clear winner it comes to Thanksgiving movies. There is no compare.

1. There is basically no market for the holiday
2. It’s actually a good movie

After those two important points, however, if Dutch isn’t in any Thanksgiving top 3, it is a glaring omission.
