We're coming to the end of The Patriot and looking for something easy going and engaging. Currently semi in a food coma

Planes, trains, and automobiles is a classic. John Candy is so adorable.

+1

also can't go wrong with spaceballs

[–] LadyButterfly@piefed.blahaj.zone 5 points 4 months ago

Good shout! We went for this

[–] TwiddleTwaddle@lemmy.blahaj.zone 19 points 4 months ago (3 children)

Adams Family Values is a perfect thanksgiving movie imo

[–] Know_not_Scotty_does@lemmy.world 9 points 4 months ago

Beat me to it.

I've seen the first movie a bunch, but barely remember this one.

I will have to remember it for next year! I'm Canadian, so it's way too late.

Happy cake day!

Hard to go wrong with a studio ghibli film if you're looking for easy going and engaging.

I suggest Porco Rosso.

[–] TheKracken@lemmy.world 10 points 4 months ago

Just not Grave of the fireflies. That's some heavy shit.

[–] jrbaconcheese@yall.theatl.social 8 points 4 months ago

The Big Lebowski

[–] HuntressHimbo@lemmy.zip 6 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Humanist vampire seeking consenting suicidal person. part dark comedy, part coming of age rom-com. Somewhat wholesome ending and the leads have incredible chemistry. French audio with subtitles though, at least last I checked there was no dubbed released.

Thankskilling

[–] darkdemize@sh.itjust.works 5 points 4 months ago

Sean of the Dead or Hot Fuzz.

[–] krooklochurm@lemmy.ca 5 points 4 months ago (1 children)

2 girls 1 cup is a classic of German cinema that will deepen your friendship.

[–] LadyButterfly@piefed.blahaj.zone 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

It really is a powerful and moving tale of friendship

[–] krooklochurm@lemmy.ca 1 points 4 months ago

Both of those adjectives are the ones most people would use, yes. Powerful. Moving. Sublime even.

[–] rozodru@pie.andmc.ca 5 points 4 months ago

the original TMNT, Batman Returns (favourite holiday movie), Hook, A Muppets Christmas Carol, Die Hard.

[–] U7826391786239@lemmy.zip 5 points 4 months ago

robocop, OG 80's version

[–] Okokimup@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago

We go through Thanksgiving episodes of shows like New Girl and Brooklyn 99.

[–] WhiteRabbit@lemmy.today 4 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Spiderman (2002)

Thanksgiving scene

[–] Reverendender@sh.itjust.works 4 points 4 months ago

The Matrix (1999)

[–] LOLseas@lemmy.zip 4 points 4 months ago

The Room.

[–] brygphilomena@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 4 months ago

Home for the holidays

Alice's restaurant

[–] compostgoblin@piefed.blahaj.zone 3 points 4 months ago

Paul Blart, Mall Cop. Thanksgiving setting, goofy humor, reasonably entertaining storyline. Not a “good” movie, but a fun watch around Thanksgiving! It’s an annual tradition in my family

[–] KingGordon@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

A Biltmore Christmas if you’re ready for a holiday movie.

Or Love Hard on Netflix.

[–] golden@sh.itjust.works 1 points 4 months ago

Something lighthearted like "Paddington" or "Chef" could be perfect after a big meal! It’s easy to watch and puts you in a good mood.

[–] JargonWagon@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

If you want a horror movie, then Thanksgiving or Thankskilling, the latter being intentionally so bad it's good.

[–] defaultusername@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 4 months ago

No, I can't. Sorry.

[–] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 1 points 4 months ago

Better Off Dead
