Thanksgiving is only two weeks away. Do you have the movies picked out for your Thanksgiving family film festival? Yeah, that's not really a thing, like it is for Halloween and for Christmas. Up until 1987, there was only one Thanksgiving movie, and it was Alice's Restaurant. Then there was Plane, Trains, and Automobiles. If you wanted, Miracle on 34th Street would do, even though most of it is about Christmas. But if you expand your definition of a Thanksgiving movie a little, there are a lot more. Does it have a memorable Thanksgiving scene in it? Does it happen on Thanksgiving Day? Then it's a Thanksgiving movie! You can pick and choose from uplifting family fare, rom-coms, horror movies, comedies, animation, and gripping dramas. Mental Floss found 18 movies that you might consider watching for Thanksgiving, with a description and trailer or video clip for each. And it doesn't even include Alice's Restaurant.
