Thanksgiving is the perfect time of the year to gather your friends to watch some movies. After you are full from all the turkey, potatoes, stuffing and pumpkin pie, you want just to sit back and chill. Here are some of the best Thanksgiving movies to watch on Netflix with your BFF.
Best Thanksgiving Movies On Netflix
Addams Family Values
Addams Family Values is a 1993 dark comedy film on Netflix, a sequel to the 1991 movies The Addams Family and stars Raul Julia, Angelica Huston, Christopher Lloyd, Joan Cusack, Christina Ricci and Jimmy Workman. When the Addams family hires a nanny to take care of newest addition, Pubert, things don’t exactly go as planned. Everyone in the family believes Debbie is the perfect nanny, everyone except Wednesday and Pugsley. When Debbie has the kids sent off to summer camp, they must fight their way back to the family to warn them off of Debbie’s horrible plans. You can even watch if on Halloween.
Planes, Trains and Automobiles
Planes, Trains and Automobiles is a 1987 comedy movie on Netflix that stars Steve Martin and John Candy. Neal (a marketing executive) and Del (a clumsy salesman) have a chance meeting as they are both trying to get home for Thanksgiving. They are both trying to get home to Chicago. Through their journeys home, Neal not only changes his thoughts about Del being clumsy and talkative but also views his own behavior in a whole new light.
American Son
American Son is a 2008 drama movie that stars Nick Cannon, Matt O’Leary, Melonie Diaz, April Grace, Chi McBride and Tom Sizemore. This movie is the story of Mike, a young Marine who is shipping out to Iraq in 4 days. Over the next 4 days, the movie covers Mike’s parting relationships with his mom, dad, best friend Jake and new girlfriend Christina. In the beginning, none of them know he is shipping out to Iraq but as the movie goes along, they each find out and react in their own ways. It is one of my favorite Thanksgiving movies on Netflix for teens.
Son-In-Law
Son-in-Law is a 1993 comedy film that stars Pauly Shore, Carla Gugino, Lane Smith, Cindy Pickett, Tiffani Thiessen, Patrick Renna, Dan Gauthier and Dennis Berkley. Becca is a farm girl who does a complete transformation in a city girl, after attending UCLA. When she heads home for Thanksgiving break, she brings along Crawl, her dorm counselor because she is unsure about the pending marriage proposal from her boyfriend, Travis. When Travis does propose, Crawl saves her from answering by announcing that he and Becca are getting married. The family isn’t totally impressed with Crawl at first but when he proves that he can handle farm living and working, he impresses some members of the family.
Which of these Netflix movies will you watch with your friends on Thanksgiving? Let me know.
We love our Netflix. The only movie I have seen in this line up is Son in Law. I will have to check out the rest.
I loved Planes, Trains and Automobiles back in the day. I need to go rewatch that.
This are all good movies. My favorite is Home alone.
Wow, what a great selection of movies I don’t quite know what i would want to watch first
Yes! Planes, Trains, and Automobiles is one of those movies my family watched every year together. It’s a classic comedy. I think I need to rewatch that ASAP. Lol
The Adams Family is my favorite!
Cool line-up. These would definitely be nice for the family. I’d love to watch a couple of these movies with my girls.
Great list! I never really thought of Planes Trains and Automobiles as a Thanksgiving movie, but it fits!
I never considered that there were Thanksgiving movies. Thanks for the list.
That was a great list to watch I would love the American Son i love drama
Great choices – looking forward to watching these over the holidays
Don;t have teens in my house but who says I can’t watch some of these myself? 🙂 I will see which ones I can fit in.
Netflix is such a fantastic idea….love the line up and will definitely check them out
This is a great list. We love Netflix. We recently found The Flash and plan on watching that when we find some time.
All the men in my family love Planes, trains and Automobiles. I’m sure that will be going during Thanksgiving or Christmas this year.
We don’t bother with Netflix – usually just stream movies from Amazon Prime or other online sites, or choose something from TWC On Demand. On Thanksgiving, though, if the TV is on at all, it’s usually the parade and football.
Only one I’ve seen is the Adams family movie. I’ll be sure to check out the rest!
This is a great collection. We have Netflix and will probably watch half of these titles.
Love the Addams Family! Haven’t watched some of the others but def putting them on my bucket list!
I love to break out the Christmas movies starting on Thanksgiving.
Oooh these are great recommendations. Planes, Trains and Automobiles is one I haven’t seen in a really long time.
i love Netflix, so i will watch these
