Whether you’re heading home for Thanksgiving this month or camping out with friends, you’ll likely be spending at least a few hours looking for the perfect movie (or movies!) to help kindle the holiday spirit. To be sure, the brilliance of classics like A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving, Miracle on 34th Street, and Planes, Trains & Automobiles should never be understated—but sometimes, it’s fun to cue up something a little different.

To that end, we’ve crafted a list of slightly more offbeat movies set on, around, or at the very least around the idea of Thanksgiving for your viewing pleasure. So, as you look ahead to a long weekend of eating and drinking, browse our favorite Thanksgiving-y movies below.

His Three Daughters (2023)

If you need a little escape from your own semi-dysfunctional family this holiday season, consider Azazel Jacobs’s intimate drama about three sisters (played by Elizabeth Olsen, Carrie Coon, and the great Natasha Lyonne) who reunite in New York City to care for their dying father. Cue: fierce infighting, some light gambling, and moments of truly touching grace.

The Humans (2021)

Adapted from director Stephen Karam’s own Tony-winning play, The Humans—about a family assembled in a leaking, creaking Lower Manhattan apartment for Thanksgiving dinner—features a winning ensemble cast, including Amy Schumer, Beanie Feldstein, Steven Yeun, and June Squibb.

Little Women (2019)

• Opinion Is Having a Boyfriend Embarrassing Now? By Chanté Joseph
• TV & Movies I Want What They Have: Jennifer Aniston and Jim Curtis By Emma Specter
• Celebrity Beauty Hailey Bieber Doesn’t Do Botox—Here’s What She Does Instead By Anna Cafolla

Yes, it was released on Christmas Day in 2019—and has all of the snow and crackling fires to make that appropriate—but Greta Gerwig’s spirited retelling of Louisa May Alcott’s classic novel goes down easy on Thanksgiving, too. One of history’s great family dramas, Little Women is at once about four sisters finding their way in the world, and the ties that bind them all together.

Krisha (2015)

In Trey Edward Shults’s bracing feature-length directorial debut, Krisha Fairchild plays Krisha, a sort of recovering addict who invites her estranged extended family over for Thanksgiving dinner. While the day begins peaceably enough, in time tempers flare, feelings get hurt, and it becomes clear that Krisha isn’t quite as reformed as she’d claimed to be.

Dare to bare: 25 of the world’s best nude beaches

Nudity is getting more creative. Not in an artistic sense — the naked human form has been a favorite subject of painters and sculptors for more than 2,000 years — but in the imaginative and sometimes offbeat ways that people are using to shed their clothes in public.

In January, the Norwegian Pearl completed an 11-day Caribbean cruise with 2,300 naturists onboard. Dubbed the “Big Nude Boat,” it was hailed as the first-ever clothing optional cruise on a large passenger ship. Bare Necessities, the Texas-based travel company that organized the voyage, is already booking two future nude cruises.

On the other side of the Atlantic, you can play a round of golf completely unclothed on the six-hole course at La Jenny Naturist Village in France (which also offers naked tennis, ping pong, volleyball, archery, chess, and bocce).

In places like Jamaica, Indonesia, Mexico and the Dominican Republic, where public nudity is illegal, a growing number of private naturist resorts are the best way to get naked.

Despite all this clothing-optional innovation, nude beaches remain the primary means to achieve an overall tan.

From rocky coastlines to talcum-powder fine sands and big city bays to secluded shores, there are now hundreds of beaches where it’s perfectly legal (or at least de facto legal) to frolic beside the sea in nothing more than your birthday suit.

“Soft, smooth sand, warm ocean breeze, gentle ocean waves and lots of other naturists makes for a great clothing-optional beach,” says Nicky Hoffman of The Naturist Society, who’s also the managing editor of Nude & Natural magazine and co-author of “The World’s Best Nude Beaches & Resorts.”

While clothing-optional beach destinations may seem like a modern invention, it’s actually quite an old idea, a product of the otherwise prudish Victorian era.

During the 1880s, American poet Walt Whitman extolled the virtues of the “Adamic air bath” — his nude walkabouts and swims along Timber Creek in New Jersey, writing of “the free exhilarating ecstasy of nakedness in Nature.”

Channeling that same vibe, the naturist movement took off in Europe and North America during the first half of the 20th century, with city parks, camp grounds and eventually beaches established for those who wanted to experience nature in their most natural state.

One of the spin-offs of the socially and sexually liberal 1960s was a “free beach” movement that saw a proliferation of nude beaches around the world.

And their popularity continues today, with more and more popping up each year. Here are 25 of the best nude beaches you can visit around the world…
