We're coming to the end of The Patriot and looking for something easy going and engaging. Currently semi in a food coma

Adams Family Values is a perfect thanksgiving movie imo

Beat me to it.

I've seen the first movie a bunch, but barely remember this one.

I will have to remember it for next year! I'm Canadian, so it's way too late.

Happy cake day!

Hard to go wrong with a studio ghibli film if you're looking for easy going and engaging.

I suggest Porco Rosso.

[-] TheKracken@lemmy.world 10 points 4 days ago

Just not Grave of the fireflies. That's some heavy shit.

2 girls 1 cup is a classic of German cinema that will deepen your friendship.

It really is a powerful and moving tale of friendship

[-] krooklochurm@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 days ago

Both of those adjectives are the ones most people would use, yes. Powerful. Moving. Sublime even.

The Big Lebowski

Something lighthearted like "Paddington" or "Chef" could be perfect after a big meal! It’s easy to watch and puts you in a good mood.

Thankskilling

[-] HuntressHimbo@lemmy.zip 6 points 4 days ago

Humanist vampire seeking consenting suicidal person. part dark comedy, part coming of age rom-com. Somewhat wholesome ending and the leads have incredible chemistry. French audio with subtitles though, at least last I checked there was no dubbed released.

Sean of the Dead or Hot Fuzz.

[-] Okokimup@lemmy.world 5 points 4 days ago

We go through Thanksgiving episodes of shows like New Girl and Brooklyn 99.

[-] rozodru@pie.andmc.ca 5 points 4 days ago

the original TMNT, Batman Returns (favourite holiday movie), Hook, A Muppets Christmas Carol, Die Hard.

The Matrix (1999)

Paul Blart, Mall Cop. Thanksgiving setting, goofy humor, reasonably entertaining storyline. Not a “good” movie, but a fun watch around Thanksgiving! It’s an annual tradition in my family

No, I can't. Sorry.

Home for the holidays

Alice's restaurant

[-] JargonWagon@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago

If you want a horror movie, then Thanksgiving or Thankskilling, the latter being intentionally so bad it's good.

[-] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 1 points 4 days ago

Better Off Dead

[-] KingGordon@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

A Biltmore Christmas if you’re ready for a holiday movie.

Or Love Hard on Netflix.
