Three Thanksgiving Movies to Help You Laugh Through Holiday Chaos

Christmas and Halloween have countless entries for movie ranking lists, but Thanksgiving is overlooked by Hollywood. Despite the lower number, you can still find high-quality Thanksgiving-themed films.

Below are three Thanksgiving movies worth considering for your family gathering after your abundant feast is consumed.

Movie 1: Planes, Trains, and Automobiles

Two of the most talented comedic actors team up in this classic John Hughes film about two men trying to return home in time for Thanksgiving.

Movie 2: Home for the Holidays

This holiday dramedy directed by Jodie Foster focuses on the chaos and awkwardness of family Thanksgiving gatherings. The star-studded cast includes Holly Hunter, Robert Downey Jr., Anne Bancroft, Claire Danes, Dylan McDermott and Steve Guttenberg.

Movie 3: Dutch

Despite being the much lesser-known of John Hughes’ Thanksgiving films, Dutch has gained respect during the past three decades as a comedy with heart. It follows the misadventures of a blue-collar worker who is tasked with driving his girlfriend’s spoiled son home for the holiday. Throughout all of the chaos, the initial enemies develop a special bond, and by the end of the film, they have an appreciation for each other’s different personalities.
