Happy Thanksgiving! We like Thanksgiving around here. It’s the only time we eat all that shit and I know it sucks when your family can’t do the turkey proper but maybe we’re just lucky. Hopefully your family are cool and prioritize the right things on this holiday. Like food and chilling out and maybe watching a football game and not stressing about shit. Bob loves Thanksgiving. He’ll be the first to tell ya. When it comes to films, there aren’t a lot of Thanksgiving specific movies. Sometimes movies that feature Thanksgiving will pass time into Christmas as well. But pure Thanksgiving movies? Not many but with the few hat we can come up with, Thanksgiving movies might have the highest track record for quality holiday movies across the board. Last year we discussed what we dubbed the ultimate Thanksgiving movie “Planes, Trains and Automobiles”, this year we get even deeper into the drama of family life. It’s Thanksgiving break in New Canaan, Connecticut in 1973 and the stale remnants of the sexual revolution has led to a general dissatisfaction and existential confusion amongst some marriages and two families in particular, the Hoods and the Carvers. They’re neighbors and their kids are of that age of confusion and exploration and while the parents seek a variety of ways to diminish that stagnant feeling in their lives, they’re no less awkward than their children amidst their own sexual lives. A quality movie that maybe fell under the radar, Ang Lee’s “THE ICE STORM” from 1997 is a compelling character driven film and a quality adult selection for Thanksgiving material. It stars a nice ensemble of Kevin Kline, Joan Allen, Sigourney Weaver, Tobey Maguire, Christina Ricci and Elijah Wood. A beautifully shot movie as well so let us tell you about it. What Thanksgiving options are left? We got “Dutch”, “Son in Law”, “Hannah and her Sisters”, “The Last Waltz”… Can you think of any more?
