Thanksgiving is a time for stuffing your face, showing some gratitude, and spending the entire holiday weekend in a tryptophan coma with your eyes glued to a screen. So, we're rounding up a whole cornucopia of comedies, dramas, slashers, thrillers, and more to keep your movie marathon queue booked and busy.
Thanksgiving In 2007, Eli Roth unleashed a fake trailer for the Grindhouse double feature showing Quentin Tarantino's Death Proof and Robert Rodriguez's Planet Terror. Since then, the fear-flick maestro has been trying to get the full version made. This year, it’s finally done. With a zany script co-written by Jeff Rendell and plenty of carving to suit the holiday title, gore buffs are in for a real treat.
The Vanished Anne Heche and Thomas Jane star in this completely bonkers abduction thriller about a married couple who lose track of their 10-year-old over Thanksgiving weekend. Jason Patric stars as the sheriff on the case, and we're wondering why his first question isn’t, “Why are you here? It’s Thanksgiving!” Lucky for us, though, the dubious decision making doesn't end there, sending the leading couple spiraling down a twisty-turny rabbit hole of wild and fatal consequences.
Now Lez Bomb Jenna Laurenzo, who went from waiting tables to directing queer cinema, writes, directs, and stars in Lez Bomb, a suburbia comedy about a Brooklyn woman who comes out to her family over Thanksgiving weekend in Jersey. Spilling her big news, of course, doesn’t go as planned. But it does make for a raucous fun time. Comic actors Cloris Leachman and Bruce Dern star, along with Steve Guttenberg, Caitlin Mehner, and Brandon Michael Hall.
