10 Thanksgiving Movies To Help Get You In The Turkey Spirit

It's the holiday season, and as Halloween comes to an end it's time to prepare for the next one - Thanksgiving! If you're having trouble finding your holiday spirit, here are 10 awesome Thanksgiving movies to help you!

1. Addams Family Values

A fun family movie, with a reminder of where the Thanksgiving tradition began!

2. You've Got Mail

For the rom-com lovers- this is a cutsie romantic comedy about two people destined to be together. It all starts with a generous act on Thanksgiving day.

3. Garfield's Thanksgiving

An older cartoon to bring back a little nostalgia, or a lesson in values from the funny cartoon cat - this movie is good for all ages!

4. A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving

Another old time cartoon, perfect for anyone in the family. This one is filled with lessons of historical importance as well as life lesson importance. Though this is more of an episode- we'll call it a short film!

5. Pieces of April

This isn't your tradational 'feel good' movie, but it's a good one no doubt. Watch April try everything in her power to have a good Thanksgiving with her dying mother and estranged family despite nothing going her way.

6. Free Birds

A new age animation movie that is great for the kids! Watch as this turkey is sent back in time to stop the turkey eating tradition.

7. Son in Law

A hillarious movie with a little less of the feel good theme- replaced by laughs. Watch as farm girl Becca is corrupted by the bad boy and parents worst nightmare as she brings him home for Thanksgiving!

8. House of Yes

Thanksgiving is known to be the time of bringing together your dysfunctional family, and this movie really hits the "dysfunctional family" nail on the head. See what happens when Marty brings his fiance to Thanksgiving dinner and she meets his wacky, out of the ordinary family.

9. National Lampoon's Thanksgiving Family Reunion

A hillarious movie about visiting relatives for the holiday - it isn't always just what you expect!

10. Planes, Trains, and Automobiles

Hands down the number one feel good thanksgiving movie, this hilarious tale of two people trying to get home for Thanksgiving and facing obstacles will keep you laughing.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

You need sleep, but also have 13 things due in the span of 4 days.

1. When it's December 1 and you have seven things due, three exams, and haven't slept in three days.

2. So you stress.

3. And cry.

4. Then call your mom to cry some more.

5. After the pep talk, you feel determined to get everything done.

6. But, now you're tired.

7. And really hungry.

8. Suddenly, it's 2 a.m. and you have only written three sentences and your paper is due in the morning.

9. You've made it to Friday... somehow.

10. Then Sunday hits and you find yourself back at the Lib.

11. So you cry some more.

12. But, you fight through the tears to get everything done because you're determined.

13. In the end, you feel on top of the world because you made it through the last week of class alive.

14. But, now it's finals week so good luck.
