Thanksgiving is just weeks away, and families across the country will be preparing to sit down with their loved ones and enjoy some of the most popular films of the age. Heartwarming, humbling and often downright hilarious, it’s almost time to set up your TV lift cabinet, press ‘Play’ and enjoy an evening of touching storylines and triumphant endings.
‘Home for the Holidays’ is a particular favorite title for movie-lovers around this time; starring Robert Downey Jr and Anne Bancroft, the biting comedy revolves around family life at Thanksgiving and can reflect some very real truths to the families watching! ‘The Blind Side’ is a more recent flick about a talented football player taken in by a wealthy family that is perfectly pitched (no pun intended) and can warm even the most cold hearts during this festive period.
If you fancy a little childhood nostalgia this year, try out A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving, where the gang find out the true meaning of the holiday, or perhaps ‘Dutch’, which is known as the ‘Home Alone of Thanksgiving’, which sees fun, hijinks and an unlikely friendship set around the festive season.
