Thanksgiving Movies and TV Shows

Posted on November 14, 2020

Some holidays lend themselves to moviemaking: Halloween or Valentine’s Day. Christmas movies have become an entire cottage industry unto themselves, with whole television networks now dedicated to cranking out more Christmas movies every year than there are bells on bobtails.

If you’re feeling festive in November, however, finding a Thanksgiving movie can be a challenge. Here’s a list to help with that. They aren’t all classics by a long shot, but if some of them tend to induce a sleepy, tryptophan-like effect, well – at least when you wake up, you’ll be that much closer to peppermint latte season.
