Photo: Courtesy Everett CollectionWhether 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.

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.

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.

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.
