Thanksgiving is the best time 🕡 in the world 🌏 to watch ⌚ movies, you'll be stuffed with good 👍 food, surrounded by your family. I have some staple movies 🎥 that I watch ⌚ every single 1️⃣ Thanksgiving and they are a tradition. Movies 🎥 bring people 🚸 together, so let's break out the popcorn and settle in! ## 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! ## 5. You've Got Mail Who doesn't love 💛 You've Got Mail 📭 and little Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks? This one 1️⃣ is such a transport 🚕 back 🔙 to AOL and that trademark ™️ 'You've Got Mail' voice 🎤 (which you just did in your head 👦🏽 right?). ## 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?
