Thanksgiving Films

~ fionaselden ~ Leave a comment

Feel like Thanksgiving isn’t getting enough attention? Need something to keep you and your visiting relatives busy over break? Here’s a few underappreciated film picks from our library for an underappreciated holiday:

Home for the Holidays

Claudia (Holly Hunter) travels to have Thanksgiving dinner with her dysfunctional family. Tensions rise, but the holiday proves not to be a total bust when Claudia meets her brother’s friend Leo (Dylan McDermott) and the two develop feelings for each other.

Turkey Hollow

Directed by Jim Henson, this family romp follows two siblings who, after they grow bored of spending Thanksgiving with their aunt, track down the legendary monster known as the Howling Hoodoo.

The Humans

Part satire. Part horror. Watch as a family’s fears are revealed through a dark Thanksgiving dinner.

Black Friday

A trashy horror-comedy that metaphorically illustrates the terror of being a retail worker on Black Friday.

NOW SHOWING: Kanopy Kids

New to the library’s Kanopy subscription is a curated selection of movies, short films, and shows that are friendly for all ages!

Don’t know what to watch? Here’s a few ideas:

Sesame Street

Want a summer vacay with sunny days, sweeping the clouds away, and air that’s sweet? Sesame Street has got you covered. Seasons 39 and 40 of this classic are available on Kanopy Kids.

Nocturna

A boy named Tim goes on a search to find a star that will protect him from the dark. Along the way, he meets an eccentric cast of characters and explores settings reminiscent of those in Alice in Wonderland or a Studio Ghibli film. Can he overcome his fear of the dark to save them?

Mr. Hublot

Mr. Hublot doesn’t like the clockwork nature of his world disrupted, but when he takes in a mechanical dog, he discovers that sometimes change is worth the effort it takes to make it.

Litterbugs

A young inventor and her superhero friend stand up to their bullies by refusing to compromise their unconventional but unique personalities.

Patema Inverted

Perfect for tweens who want to transition to media with more mature themes, Patema Inverted tells the story of two children who overcome the gravitational pull and prejudices that keep them apart.
