The best Thanksgiving scenes in movies

Thanksgiving is to America what Christmas is to Italy. Big family reunion, long lunch and love demonstrations that only a day of celebration can encourage.

Even if the Thanksgiving movies – contrary to the Christmas ones – still represent an unexplored territory, many directors have been inspired by this yearly recurrence to orchestrate hilarious banquets, useful means to bring on the table love, friendships or bad moods.

We selected five, to make you smile and maybe inspire your dinner tonight:

#1 A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving – Bill Melendez (1973)

#2 Addams Family Values - Barry Sonnenfeld (1993)

#3 Brokeback Mountain – Ang Lee (2005)

#4 Hanna & her sisters – Woody Allen (1986)

#5 Grindhouse – Quentin Tarantino & Robert Rodriguez (2007)
