10. Planes, Trains and Automobiles <\/strong>
\nThis film follows Neal Page and Del Griffith on a journey of Odysseus-like proportions. The impromptu duo’s nearly failed attempt to return from a business trip in time for Thanksgiving dinner leads to a likeable stint of self-discovery. It’s enough to make us feel a little smarmy and wistful — which is just the right mood for a family Thanksgiving.
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

9. Miracle on 34th Street<\/strong>
\nWhat is Thanksgiving for, if not to get hyped up about the coming of Christmas? Nowhere is that more joyously clear than in the 1947 classic Miracle on 34th Street, starring Mareen O’Hara, John Payne and the super adorable, six-year-old Natalie Wood. The film starts at the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade and heads straight into the venerable department store. Let the shopping begin!
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

8. Home for the Holidays <\/strong>
\nEven more explicit about its “Thanksgiving as homecoming” theme than ‘The Myth of Fingerprints,’ this Jodie Foster-directed ensemble piece about a dysfunctional family stars Holly Hunter as a recently laid-off single mom who returns home for Thanksgiving.
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

7. Alice’s Restaurant<\/strong>
\nThis larger-than-life recreation of Arlo Guthrie’s song of the same name is an entertaining romp through 1960s pop culture, complete with a firsthand account of anti-war sentiments. After Guthrie visits his friend Alice for Thanksgiving, he offers to transport her trash to the dump, where he encounters a closed landfill. A series of decisions prompts him to push the garbage into a gully. When Guthrie’s caught by local authorities, a memorable court appearance is followed by a series of legal events in which the Army finds him unfit for military service.
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

6. The Ice Storm<\/strong>
\nNothing says “Thanksgiving” like key parties and ’70s-era suburban angst, and the American debut of director Ang Lee features both of those things. It also features winning early performances by Christina Ricci, Tobey Maguire, and Elijah Wood.
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

5. The House of Yes<\/strong>
\nNineties independent film darlings Parker Posey and Josh Hamilton team with Tori Spelling and Freddie Prinze Jr. for the film adaptation of Wendy MacLeod’s play. Hamilton brings his fiancee home to meet the family at Thanksgiving, and Posey, who plays his twin sister, doesn’t take it so well.
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

4. Son-in-Law<\/strong>
\nCrawl is a big city boy who travels to the Midwest for Thanksgiving, pretending to be the fianc\u00e9 of a farmer’s daughter he befriended at an L.A. college. His guise as Rebecca’s fianc\u00e9 is designed to discourage an overly ambitious suitor in her hometown, but the strait-laced innocent eventually falls for Crawl as he bungles his way through a series of down-home traditions. Even her suspicious family comes around in the end, as Crawl’s unflagging enthusiasm wins them over.
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

3. Funny People<\/strong>
\nJudd Apatow’s Adam Sandler\/Seth Rogen dramedy spans a good amount of time in the lives of its characters, but an early highlight is a scene in which Sandler, as comedian George Simmons, offers up a Thanksgiving toast at the house of his protege, Ira Wright (Rogen).
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

2. Dutch<\/strong>
\nIt is about a meat-and-potatoes construction worker’s attempt to stay firmly ensconced in his girlfriend’s good graces — by retrieving her preppy son from boarding school in time for Thanksgiving. We think it has a number of redeeming qualities — namely, a cross-country road trip filled with comedic situations. And, it’s clean enough to watch with the grandparents or the junior set.
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

1. A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving<\/strong>
\nWhen Peppermint Patty and her friends finagle Charlie Brown into serving a traditional Thanksgiving dinner, it’s up to Woodstock and Snoopy to make the day a success. Thanks to daring dishes like buttered toast and popcorn, and a memorable struggle with an uncooperative folding chair, Snoopy lends his own brand of wordless charm to the day’s events. As the gang gathers around a ping-pong table for their unique meal, the true meaning of Thanksgiving shines through.
