The best Thanksgiving films on demand

The big American party we’re not invited to is here.

Thanksgiving is a national holiday celebrating the harvest, but we mostly know it from consuming lots of American media. It’s an excuse to have time off work and eat Christmas dinner a month early (while still also eating it at Christmas – win!).

Being such a well known time of the year, it’s also the setting of quite a few films – so us Brits can experience Thanksgiving too.
