Thanksgiving implies a cosy, warm at-home harvest celebration with your loved ones and family. It’s all about bonding, eating delicious food like turkey and pies, and making memories to last a lifetime. When the family gets together for Thanksgiving, the one thing that gets them confused is what fun activities they should do together.

There are numerous enjoyable ways to spend time with your family, ranging from playing games to singing and dancing, and the favourite among them all is watching movies.

Here are five Thanksgiving movies to watch with your family this year:

1) Planes, Trains and Automobiles

Of all the Thanksgiving movies, Planes, Trains, and Automobiles may be the most well-known. Steve Martin and John Candy play two travellers who form an odd connection as Martin haphazardly tries to return home for Thanksgiving in the 1987 comedy directed by John Hughes, who pretty much directed everything in the 1980s. Martin and the late Candy make a pleasant and humorous Thanksgiving treat because they have the ideal qualities to play this weird pair.

2) Addams Family Values

The Addams Family, a 1991 film that introduced the horrifyingly humorous 1960s TV characters to the big screen, was followed up by Addams Family Values in 1993. Despite the fact that it seems more like a Halloween movie, there is a wonderful Thanksgiving sequence involving everyone’s favourite Addams, Wednesday (Christina Ricci).

3) Avalon

When someone is late for their own family events, many people cite a Thanksgiving scene from Barry Levinson’s 1990 coming-to-America drama, Avalon. You carve the turkey without me, right? With the exception of one sequence, this lovely family play is the kind of historical drama that is simply no longer produced, and the children at Thanksgiving can learn a lot about their ancestors by watching it.

4) Jim Henson’s Turkey Hollow

Despite Jim Henson’s passing in 1990, his children still operate the Jim Henson Company, which is responsible for creating the Muppets. Jim Henson’s Turkey Hollow, a family-friendly movie with a Thanksgiving theme and zany monsters that Muppet fans are sure to recognise, is narrated by rapper Ludacris.

5) Grumpy Old Men

The 1993 comedy Grumpy Old Men should still be on this list even though it doesn’t have many Thanksgiving-related scenes. For Thanksgiving, you might be hosting elder generations, and this Minnesota-set comedy is one of the few that acknowledges their connections, relationships, and rivalries. The 81-year-old actress Ann-Margret is still alive, but Walter Matthau and Jack Lemmon have obviously departed away.
