Thanksgiving movies can start with a coffee and a quiet morning rather than a big family screening. These four picks give you a reason to revisit a favourite, catch up on a missed classic or try something that didn’t click before.
Forrest Gump has no shortage of scenes that stay with you. Good Will Hunting poses another kind of question: would you have appreciated it as much when it first came out? A long-delayed viewing puts its performances and limiting beliefs in a different light.
Then there’s Little Miss Sunshine, whose awkwardness initially got in the way. Is its family trip worth another chance? The Terminal completes the list with an airport predicament and a different route to a feel-good watch.
