Best After Thanksgiving Movies
Before the turkey sends you off to the land of sweet dreams, you might want to watch some TV.
If you don't want to sleep, then watch football with people who are fans of either Dallas or Detroit, you know, if you can find any. But if you want to make it a family thing, then pick one these classic movies to drift off to dreamland with.
- Miracle on 34th Street
1947 Version
Best to watch this before you begin crossing checking other shoppers trying to get a discount. It's like eating before going to shop for groceries. Less chance of picking up garbage food that you'll regret later. With this movie you'll have the true meaning of Christmas in the back of your mind when it counts.
- The Big Chill
1983
I know, it sounds weird to watch this on Thanksgiving, but the movie does include a big dinner. Plus, it gives you chance to be thankful that you're not gathering with friends because of a funeral. Plus you can be thankful that you're not Jeff Goldblum.
- Dutch
Yes, that Dutch
I don't care what you say, this was a good movie. It dished out some good lessons. Don't be a brat. Respect others. Be thankful for what you have, not what you don't. And don't let Ed O'Neill punch you while he's wearing a ring.
- Grumpy Old Men
Burgess Merideth Classic
This is an amazing movie. Just simply funny. There ain't no moral, I just like it. Ann Margaret always looks good. Plus, better them then me than when it comes to ice fishing.
"It looks like he's taking the log to the beaver."
- Planes, Trains, & Automobiles
The Best
If you can laugh, cry, and laugh again during a movie, that movie is called good. With Planes, Trains, And Automobiles, it's great. Just looking at the trailer makes me miss John Candy. I can't think of a better way to end Thanksgiving.
