If you've nothing to do this Thanksgiving, I'll give you two options. You can either suffer through the emotional hell, constant guilt, and drunken games of charades that make up The Spotswood Family Thanksgiving, or you can rent the following awesome movies, all about this bizarre holiday.
Beth's Top Five Thanksgiving Movies:
5. Dutch
4. The Ice Storm
3. Planes, Trains, and Automobiles
2. Home for the Holidays
1. A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving
Although, the best part of Thanksgiving is the random movies that are played on TBS and USA and TNT all day long. Starting at, like, 10am, they'll play Ghost, Top Gun, The Breakfast Club, and Indiana Jones all in a row. Heaven. (It's important to note that when I speak of Indiana Jones, I'm only talking about 1 and 2. 3 is complete bullshit, and doesn't deserve to be mass broadcast on a national holiday.)
You can have your football. I'll take Dutch any day of the week and twice on Thursdays...

Beth, it is a rare day when I feel that I must reply to one of your many blog postings but today I found myself astonished at my sisters blatant disregard for quality movies. I respect your top five Thanksgiving movies though when asked you were unable to give me even a brief description of "A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving." But it is in that latter half of you posting that disgruntled me to the point of posting a response. Your uncharacteristic blasting of the third Indiana Jones movie, "The Last Crusade," was totally uncalled for and has made me question you ability as a movie connassaeure. You have tainted the best, yes the best film trilogy ever made. You will be hard press to find a better father son duo(Harrison Ford & Sean Connery) on film. If anything I would say the week link in the trilogy would be in "Temple of Doom," but even then it is a quality movies and not to be described as "bullshit, and doesn't deserve to be mass broadcast on a national holiday." I urge you to revisit "The Last Crusade," and then post a formal apology to Spielberg on your blog.
