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.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
