Thanksgiving Themed Movies? Anyone??

I watch Home for the Holiday every year, and Charlie Brown Thanksgiving for the little ones. I am on the hunt for more movies centered around Thanksgiving. I'd appreciate somes suggestions. Thanks.

Pieces of April is set on Thanksgiving Day. Katie Holmes stars. The only redeeming thing in this movie (IMO) was Patricia Clarkson.

If you want something old school you could go with Malick's The New World. I also love Addams Family Values for its summercamp thanksgiving skit...EAT ME!

Ditto for me too on Wednesday night. We should all synchronize....I'm planning on starting it at 8:30 Central time.

Why are you holding my hand?
Where's your other hand?
Between two pillows.
Those aren't pillows!!!

Me too! It's a tradition I've held since it was available on VHS. Heck, I even saw it the day before Thanksgiving during its theatrical run.

Nickelodean always had good ones when I was a kid. I still remember the one with the poor family where the kids shrank in size during a dream and had to stop the bread from rising too much, etc, etc. Those were the days. I have no clue if they still show any of those old cartoons, though.

How about some pilgrim/indian type movies? Not familiar with too many pilgrim flicks....how about Dances w/ Wolves? How about Seven for the "GLUTTONY" guy?

You could watch Dutch. I wouldn't really recommend it, though.
