Thanksgiving Movies to Watch

Thanksgiving is only a few days away and for me this means that I want to watch a great movie to go with the season.  I know that Thanksgiving isn't a holiday that is well known for having great movies to watch but I figure it would be good to tell people about three films that I know go good with the season. 

What's Cooking (2000)
Director: Gurinder Chadha
Starring: Julianna Marguiles, Kyra Sedgwick, Alfre Woodard
Four very different families celebrate Thanksgiving in their own way along with their family and all the problems that come with having family get together.


Pieces of April (2003)
Director:
Starring: Katie Holmes, Oliver Platt, Patricia Clarkson
April is the black sheep of the Burns family but she is trying to show her family that she has changed.  This Thanksgiving she has invited the family to her apartment where she will be making the feast but it isn't as easy as it seems.


A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving (1973)
This is holiday classic film from the great Charles Schultz that is great for children of any age.  Peppermint Patty invites herself to Thanksgiving dinner at Charlie Brown's house but he really doesn't know what to do.  Episodes of the Peanuts Classics can be downloaded from PeanutsOnline on YouTube.
