More than any other holiday, Thanksgiving is really about family. It’s a holiday that, in its design, is built around coming together to share a meal and interact with one another. Once you’re done with the meal, though, you may be looking for something else to bond over or discuss as a family. Thankfully, there are a number of great films set around Thanksgiving that will surely prompt plenty of discussions.
As many of these movies make clear, bringing family together isn’t always easy. There can be conflict and strife, and it can be difficult to remember who thought bringing everyone together once a year was a good idea anyway. Beneath all that, though, these movies are also an excellent reminder of why family is so uniquely able to frustrate and delight us in equal measure. Not all of these movies are guaranteed to make you feel good, but they will remind you why Thanksgiving can be such a uniquely emotional day.
