Planes, Trains and Automobiles
This 1987 classic stars Steve Martin and John Candy as a marketing executive and
salesman, respectively, trying to get from Chicago to New York in time for Thanksgiving. As
the title suggests, the journey isn’t easy.
When Harry Met Sally
Do you really need a reason to rewatch one of the greatest rom-coms of all time? Okay,
then: Look at that fall foliage!
It’s a Wonderful Life
Usher in the holiday spirit with the Jimmy Stewart classic that brought you the line “every
time a bell rings, an angel gets its wings.”
Titanic
What better time to ingest a 3-hour movie than when you’re digesting a year’s worth of
stuffing?
Lion
If you didn’t catch this one during the 2016 awards season, now is your chance: the movie,
starring Dev Patel, is based on the true story of Saroo Brierley, who went on a journey to find
his mom and brother in India after being separated from them at five years old. Prepare to
cry — but in a hopeful, cathartic, Thanksgiving-y way.
Up
Yes, another tearjerker. Because what better time than the holidays to reflect on life, love,
and the passage of time?
E.T.
This classic coming-of-age tale doubles as a reminder to “phone home” if you’re unable to be
there in person this year.
Girls Trip
You’ve shed enough tears for one holiday — now it’s time to laugh. This box-office hit, which
follows four women as they travel to New Orleans for the Essence Musical Festival, will be
available to rent just in time for the holidays.
Baby Driver
Another high-energy hit from 2017, this one stars Ansel Elgort as a music-obsessed getaway
driver.
Toy Story
The tale of Woody, Buzz Lightyear, and the gang was a game-changer: it was the first
feature-length computer-animated film, the first feature film produced by Pixar, and the first
film to convince you that your toys really did come to life when you weren’t looking.
̿e Shawshank Redemption
The story of a man who spends two decades in prison for a crime he may or may not have
committed doesn’t sound particularly uplifting — but, trust, it is.
Monster-in-Law
Charlotte (Jennifer Lopez) meets the perfect man — until she learns that his mother (Jane
Fonda) is a nightmare. Watch with your in-laws at your own risk.
