Today is the day for giving thanks. It’s also the day for filling up on turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, and of course binge watching your favorite movies.
Of course you could go with some of the newest offerings on Netflix, Vudu or Amazon, but why not fill this Thanksgiving with some classic movies from another time?

Here’s our list of the five best movies for Thanksgiving you forgot existed.
Miracle on 34th Street (1947)
While many consider Miracle on 34th Street a Christmas classic, it also serves as a wonderful way to unwind on Thanksgiving after a day full of eating. Plus, this movie technically starts at the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, making it the perfect pick for this holiday.
A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving (1973)
At only 25 minutes long, this Thanksgiving classic is a short watch indeed. It follows Charlie Brown and the Peanuts crew through their Turkey Day traditions, and is a great film to watch in-between your Thanksgiving meals, or if you only have a few minutes of downtown during your holiday celebrations.
Grumpy Old Men (1993)
Grumpy Old Men is a movie about former friends who harbor a longstanding rivalry. When they both fall in love with the same woman, their age-old competition only becomes more intense
You’ve Got Mail (1998)
It’s the big corporation versus “the little guy” in You’ve Got Mail. When a woman who owns her own small book store meets a literary titan online, their anonymous relationship blossoms, only to be squashed out once they finally figure out who each other really are. But the small book store owner and her rival ultimately work it out in one of the greatest Thanksgiving movies of all time.
Funny People (2009)
Adam Sandler and Seth Rogen are hilarious in Funny People. George is a retired comedian who, after being diagnosed with leukemia, decides to mentor a newcomer to the standup comedy game. Their interactions are great and this movie is the perfect pick if you want to laugh this Thanksgiving.
