Patrick Klepic Needs Your Help - Thanksgiving Movies (Nov 1 2011)

I heard your plea on the Bombcast, Patrick. The community is here to help.

Post up your ideas for the best Thanksgiving movies so that Patrick has something to watch between his "30 Days of Horror" and his Christmas season viewing.

I'll throw down with a nice transition piece between Halloween and Thanksgiving, that holiday classic, ThanksKilling!

Gobble, Gobble, Mutherfucker!

I think it was Addams Family Values in which Wednesday (Christina Ricci) and Pugsley performed in a school Thanksgiving play that ended with rioting...

But it wasn't nearly as good as this scene.

Pieces of April

Son in Law because it isn't Thanksgiving without Pauly Shore

Let's munch some grindage!

There was a movie called Home For The Holidays. I think that is what it was called. I am pretty sure Jodie Foster is in it. Was The Family Stone a Thanksgiving movie? Neither of these were great but also not terrible.

Dutch was in fact a Thanksgiving movie.

You read my mind. I LOVE Dutch. Always watch it around the holiday.

@greennoodles: The Family Stone is a Christmas film. You are correct about Home For The Holidays.

Googled "Thanksgiving Movies" and I have a couple of lists.

Pocahontas?

A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving

Winnie the Pooh - Seasons of Giving (so let's start with some animated films, huh?)

Mouse on the Mayflower (sounds bizarre)

The New World? (Also a Pocahontas story, so maybe trade it for Pocahontas if you're not in the mood for Disney)

Hannah And Her Sisters (Woody Allen film! With Carrie Fisher, Mia Farrow, and Michael Caine!)

Dutch (John Hughes!)

The Ice Storm (early Christina Ricci, Tobey Maguire, and Elijah Wood, AND Sigourney Weaver!)

The House of Yes (90's Parker Posey and Josh Hamilton)

The Myth of Fingerprints (Bart Freundlich directed, Julianne Moore stars)

...Funny People (Adam Sandler)

Brokeback Mountain (People still consider Brokeback Oscar robbery, right?)

Scent of a Woman (Al Pacino classic)

Miracle on 34th Street (a good crossover between Thanksgiving and Christmas)

Tadpole (Thanksgiving sex comedy, Sigourney Weaver)

Nobody's Fool (Paul Newman, Bruce Willis, Philip Seymour Hoffman, and more.)

She's Gotta Have It (Spike Lee, directorial debut)

Alice's Restaurant (Arlo Guthrie, at your own risk)

Rescue Dawn (Christina Bale, Vietnam)

Grindhouse...the Eli Roth fake trailer, anyways? The Big Chill has a deleted scene where they prepare Thanksgiving in a flashback. Those last two are pretty questionable, though.

With the films listed here, I'm pretty sure we have a list that would fill November to Thanksgiving five years out of seven (going by possible number of days in November before Thanksgiving ends ranges from 22-28.) Just a couple more and we'll be set!

2nd for Planes, Trains, and Automobiles!
