Halloween is over and Christmas is coming, but you're in between so you're probably looking for movies to watch in November. Some of us are already playing Christmas songs in the house and in the car. However, in my case, I like to wait on Christmas until late November. If you are like me, you still want to celebrate the big holidays until New Year's. I enjoy Thanksgiving, but it doesn’t have the same build-up as Halloween and Christmas. It is just a day to pig out on awesome food with family and friends. But a good way to celebrate while transitioning to Christmas through Thanksgiving is by watching movies.
There are many Halloween and Christmas movies out there. But what about Thanksgiving movies? Sadly, not many. However, after looking through a list of my favorite movies, I found ones that are perfect through the month of November as we grieve for Halloween and wait for Christmas. This list consists only of films I’ve seen. If there is one not listed that you think should be, please mention it in the comment section. So, here are the best movies to watch in November.
