This is the one that will catch you by surprise but for me I watch it every year around this time of the year. The thanksgiving dinner scene in this movie is hilarious. The late great John Witherspoon steals the scene along with Bebe Drake. Just this scene alone is great and i promise you will laugh and maybe have some tears. So to me this is a classic Thanksgiving movie and one of my favorite Eddie Murphy movies. And next in the list

For a lot of us, Thanksgiving time is a time for family, happiness and great food but for Rocky “its just thursday” and time for him to take the very shy pretty woman that works at the local pet shop by the name of Adrian Pennino. This holiday classic has it all. A great underdog story, love, toughness, holiday season and Apollo Creed. This is another one i watch every year for this time of the year. And next on the list.

Growing up in a big neighborhood with a large group of kids, we kind of lived out like the Peanuts gang. And as the peanuts gang enjoys the Thanksgiving season, this movie always takes me back to those days and this one is to great to pass up. Sure its short but its long enough to last forever in the heart, no matter how old you get, this one always brings back great memories. And next on the list

This movie is great and Al Pacino is incredible as a blind drunk retired Military man who pretty much makes everybody feel like crap but I love it and the speech that he lays out to the school at the end of movie is oscar worthy in it’s own. Next to movies like “Carlito’s Way” and “Dog Day Afternoon” Pacino performance is up there with those classic roles he performed. Now finally number 1

You can never go wrong with the late great John Candy and Steve Martin and when they shared the screen for this thanksgiving movie, they did not disappoint and this movie is just too funny and I love this movie. Makes you really think, why do they not make movies like this anymore. But overall if you want a great laugh for Thanksgiving. If eating to much at Thanksgiving doesn’t hurt well the comedy from this movie will get the job done. So enjoy and watch it with love ones. You will not regret it.

I hope all of you have a great Thanksgiving season with family, friends and loved ones.and appreciate this time with them and have a great time and be sure to remember the most important thing and that is to save me a plate.

Until next time Happy Thanksgiving and have a happy Holiday season. See you next time.
