From “The Blind Side” to “The Last Waltz,” these films all have a relationship to the holiday—but you might not even have realized it.
Whether you go home for Thanksgiving or camp out with your circle of friends, you’ll probably spend at least a couple of hours flipping through the channels or scrolling through Netflix, looking for the perfect movie to get you into the holiday spirit. While the brilliance of classics like A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving, Miracle on 34th Street, and Planes, Trains & Automobiles should never be understated, it can often feel like you’re stuck in a vortex of movies you’ve seen before.
The Last WaltzMartin Scorsese famously captured the Band’s farewell performance at San Francisco’s Winterland Ballroom on Thanksgiving 1976 in perhaps the most iconic concert film ever. Keep an eye out for music legends like the Staple Singers and Bob Dylan in The Last Waltz, and don’t miss the Band’s Rick Danko taking the time to wish the crowd a happy holiday.
The Ice StormThis is the only movie on the list that may ring a bell for being about Thanksgiving: Centered on two suburban families who are attempting to celebrate Thanksgiving in 1973, The Ice Storm demonstrates the extremes of suburban dysfunction through sexual identity, alcohol, drugs, and the human condition.
Paul Blart: Mall CopThe Segway-riding mall cop may not be the most intelligent lead, but in the years since this Kevin James movie was released, it has gained a cult following, in part due to a late-blooming meme campaign. Paul Blart: Mall Cop is minutes worth of mindless entertainment, centered around a busy mall taken hostage on what’s arguably the worst day of the year for a mall cop: Black Friday.
RockyYes, that Rocky. The 1976 boxing film is unquestionably one of Sylvester Stallone’s best performances, but if you put the whole heavyweight-championship plot to the side for a second, there’s an incredible Thanksgiving scene in which a turkey is chucked out the back door—an event that actually leads to a date for the hero of the film.
