SimpleG Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 Interested to see what if any films and tv you guys watch around Thanksgiving. It was brought up in my office today and I mentioned Twilight Zone marathon is an absolute must in both mine and my wifes family, everyone looked at me like I was weirdo. We also run through Band Of Brothers the weekend after Thanksgiving Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nokt Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 None. My family had a Christmas tradition of watching Muppets Christmas Carol on Christmas Eve, but that kind of fizzled out when all of my siblings grew up and had families of their own. I'm the only one who keeps that alive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoberChef Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 I'll always & forever be plagued since April of 2007 when I watched the double feature of Grindhouse, that Eli Roth's "Thanksgiving" isn't an actual film to enjoy alongside the holiday. That being said, saw earlier on Twitter that IF in fact you need your horror needs scratched for this specific holiday, technically "You're Next" works as a Thanksgiving flick! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyser_Soze Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 I don't really have a "family" so to speak, just my mom, so normally we would just go to some other person's house and usually no one would watch TV, it's mostly talking the whole time. Recently post COVID it's just been me and my mom for holidays, but there is no ritual, I just bring a movie that I want to see that I think she might also enjoy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fizzzzle Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 Football on Thanksgiving. Christmas is Die Hard, The Matrix, and basketball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nokra Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 Nothing really for Thanksgiving, but for Christmas we typically watch It's a Wonderful Life ( ) and Lord of the Rings ( ). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris- Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 Football is consistent. I didn't grow up with any specific movies, but my girlfriend did and has since introduced The Godfather as a post-dinner winding down watch, and it is exquisite. Currently watching it right now in fact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 The Lion's game is usually on in the background, but we never really watched movies on Thanksgiving. My Uncle used to bring A Christmas Story to Christmas before TBS started airing it all day. It's not one of my favorites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRealSmallville Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 Planes, Trains, and Automobiles is the Turkey-Day tradition in my house. Growing up we watched football, but I don't like the Cowboys or the Lions so unless San Fran happens to be playing (rare) I skip the games on Thanksgiving as an adult.

Bloodporne Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 My favorite Thanks Giving movie is Addams Family Values and my ex-wife and I watched it religiously every year. I've pushed the same tradition on others now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
