Below is a list of some Thanksgiving Movies that seem to have been forgotten. I've not included "The Thanksgiving House" and "Miracle on 34th Street" that I've reviewed yet in this blog.
Happy Thanksgiving!
The Gathering
In this TV classic, a man (Ed Asner) who is terminally ill tries to reunite with his estranged family for one last Thanksgiving together. A deeply emotional story about forgiveness, family, and second chances.
A Family Thanksgiving
A career-driven lawyer (Daphne Zuniga) is magically shown what her life could have been if she had chosen family over work. Through this alternate Thanksgiving reality, she learns the true meaning of gratitude and love.
Planes, Trains & Automobiles
A classic comedy where a tightly-wound man (Steve Martin) just wants to get home for Thanksgiving, but his trip turns into chaos when he’s stuck traveling with an overly talkative shower curtain ring salesman (John Candy). Lots of mishaps, but heartwarming in the end.
Home for the Holidays
Directed by Jodie Foster, this film follows a woman (Holly Hunter) who returns to her parents’ house for Thanksgiving. Between family drama, awkward relatives, and unexpected surprises, it’s funny, touching, and very relatable.
A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving
The beloved animated special where Charlie Brown scrambles to put together a Thanksgiving dinner for his friends with Snoopy’s help. It’s simple, nostalgic, and full of heart.
Pieces of April
Katie Holmes stars as April, a young woman estranged from her family who invites them over for Thanksgiving dinner in her tiny New York apartment. With her oven broken, she struggles to pull it off, but the movie beautifully mixes humor, tension, and heartfelt moments.
Dutch
Ed O’Neill stars as Dutch, a working-class man who offers to bring his girlfriend’s snobby son home from boarding school for Thanksgiving. The road trip turns into a hilarious and heartfelt bonding experience.
Psalm 23:5 (NIV)
"You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows."
