Wow, some odd choices as family Thanksgiving movies But to each his own!
I agree with chadbang, watch a classic to get you in the mood for the holidays!!
Two of the best, IMO, to get you ready for the holidays are:
1. It's a Wonderful Life (1946) - maybe James Stewarts best movie (or was it Sargent York), but then again, he had so many!! Dubbed by the American Film Institute as one of the best films ever made.. To appreciate it's greatness I recommend the black and white version which can most likely be found at Walmart for ~$10 USD.
2. The Bishop's Wife - a fine film which features none other than Cary Grant himself. Won the Academy Award for sound and was nominated for four others. You can pick this up at Walmart for about $10 as well.
3. National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation - well if you haven't seen this one.... You just don't know how to appreciate Christmas.
Honorable Mentions: Miracle on 34th Street (1947), How the Grinch Stole Christmas (1966), Elf (2003), A Charlie Brown Christmas (1966).
I highly recommend seeing all of the top 3 before Christmas gets here, but if nothing else watch the first two! Sure, they're old, but they're classics and you'll love them! Trust me! Happy Holidays!
