Best 10 Movies to Watch on Thanksgiving Day

The fact that so many movies exist around the holidays nearly cements the fact that we crave certain norms. With the current state of the world changing the way we look at just about everything, it's not surprising that it's effecting how we think, how we plan, and how we deal with both cinema and the Thanksgiving holiday.

The really interesting thing about Thanksgiving movies is that many of the classics aren't even straight-up Thanksgiving movies per se. Most of the time there's really just one or two incredible scenes that are so strong, they spread the Thanksgiving cheer all throughout the film.
