1. A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving

Of course, I had to include this one 1️⃣ on 🔛 the list. It is a classic and absolutely one 1️⃣ of the best Thanksgiving films out there. Want a film 🎥 for everyone? This is it!

2. Pieces of April

This is a 2003 classic that is all about Thanksgiving. You know New 🆕 York City 🌃 and the small apartments there and it makes a really interesting backdrop for this particular movie. It is quirky, it is funny 😂 and it is absolutely emotionally satisfying.

3. Son-in-Law

I know, I know, it's a Pauly Shore movie. However, hear 🔉 me out, this is a movie 🎥 that is not only fantastic but it's a tradition 👘 that I watch ⌚ it every single 1️⃣ Thanksgiving. If you haven't seen it, go, see it now. No, really, I'll wait.

4. Grumpy 😡 Old Men

This is another movie 🎥 that is one 1️⃣ of my favorites. Not just this one 1️⃣ but part two 2️⃣ as well. I love 💑 the men, I love 👬 the dynamic, I love ❤️ the grumpiness of it all. You'll love 💛 it too!

6. Funny 😂 People

This movie 🎥 is all about an up 👆 and coming stand-up comedian who currently works at a deli and yet, still can't figure 🔷 out how to take 🎬 off. He hires an assistant and the rest is history!

7. The Blind 🙈 Side

The Blind 🙈 Side doesn't necessarily focus in on 🔛 Thanksgiving specifically, however it is about a football ⚽ star ✳️ and that is sorta Thanksgiving, right? This is one 1️⃣ of my wife's favorite movies, especially when it comes to the holidays.

8. Planes, Trains, and Automobiles

All they want to do is get home! It's another oldie but another goodie. It's a movie 🎥 that you'll want to see over and over again, no 🙅 matter what!

9. Alice's Restaurant

Yes, this is an older movie 🎥 but it is still a goodie. At the middle of the movie 🎥 is all about Thanksgiving. Guthrie visits his friend Alice and he offers to take 🎬 her trash 🚮 out and when he encounters a landfill that's closed, that's where it all starts.

10. Home 🏡 for the Holidays

This is one 1️⃣ of the most classic Thanksgiving movies 🎦 out there. It is how all of us feel when we are traveling 🚉 home 👨‍👩‍👧 for the holidays. It takes every single 1️⃣ bit of that stress 😓 and places it in a movie.

11. What's Cooking?

This movie 🎥 is all about family, all about ethnic food 🍯 and all about Thanksgiving and family 👩‍👩‍👦 coming together. You'll love 💚 it, especially right ☑️ around the holidays!

12. Sweet 🍭 November

While I am not a huge fan of this movie, it is still one 1️⃣ of my wife's favorite. It's one 1️⃣ of those movies 🎥 that you'll love ❤️ or hate. You have 30 days with someone, just 30 days, what happens?

So, now that you've seen my list, what are some of the other movies 🎥 that you watch during Thanksgiving? Share with us!
