Thanksgiving is almost upon us, well for those who live in the United States, so here is a small list of movies to watch that take place around the holiday.
Planes, Trains and Automobiles (1987) - John Hughes
Neal Page (Steve Martin) really wants to get home in time for Thanksgiving, so he accepts Del's (John Candy) offer to ride with him. It's an offer that Neal soon regrets accepting.
Dutch (1991) - Peter Faiman
Dutch (Ed O'Neill) offers to drive his girlfriend's son home from his prep school so they can spend Thanksgiving together. Not a smart move.
What's Cooking? (2000) - Gurinder Chadha
A film that follows four families as they prepare for Thanksgiving and the family conflicts they must deal with.
Son in Law (1993) - Steve Rash
Rebecca (Carla Gugino) brings her friend Crawl (Pauly Shore) home with her for Thanksgiving and ends up having him pretend to be her fiance after her old boyfriend asks her to marry him.
I know that there are more Thanksgiving movies out there, but to be honest, I can't add them to my list since I haven't seen them. I am planning on checking out Home For the Holidays (1995) and Pieces of April (2003), so they could make the list next year.
Just for fun, here is the fake trailer for Thanksgiving that was directed by Eli Roth for Grindhouse (2007).
