After the turkey is devoured, the pie tins are empty, and the table is cleared, there’s only one thing anyone has the energy to do: be a couch potato and watch a good movie. Depending on who you’re settling down with in front of the TV, you’ll want a specific kind of film. During precious family time, nobody wants to spend an hour scrolling through streaming platforms trying to find the “perfect” movie, only to settle for something everyone’s already seen a hundred times. To save you from this all-too-familiar fate, I’ve curated a list of movies that are either autumnal favorites or set around Thanksgiving.
Some are age-appropriate and fun for the whole family, while others are best suited for a Friendsgiving hang-out or a cozy November date night. No matter the vibe, there’s something festive on this list for everyone. From family flicks to slasher films, these movies will keep you entertained all Thanksgiving weekend:
