Seventeen Magazine said Before you start scratching your head, Spider-Man is TOTALLY a Thanksgiving movie thanks to its big scene that takes place during Aunt May's Thanksgiving dinner. Of course, Spider-Man is the one of the best movies to watch all-year round, but at least you have the perfect excuse to watch it while having your own turkey dinner.

Seventeen Magazine said Right after Thanksgiving is Black Friday, which is exactly when this film takes place. While you might be hanging back and doing some online shopping instead of hitting the actual stores, you can pretend you're basically there when you pop this movie in for the night.

Seventeen Magazine said A family of writers go through the ups and downs of their love lives in this beautiful and incredible film. The movie follows them over the course of a year and starts off on Thanksgiving day.

Seventeen Magazine said No, Jack doesn't get to explore Thanksgiving World. But, the big debate around whether or not the film is a Halloween or Christmas movie makes it perfect for you to watch right in the middle of the two holidays.

Seventeen Magazine said If you thought your family was bad when it came to talking about politics during Thanksgiving dinner, this movie will completely change your mind. Not only is it hilarious, but it also makes you realize that all the fights during your Thanksgiving dinner could be a lot worse.

Seventeen Magazine said The best part about Thanksgiving is the food and there is no better movie to get you to look forward to it (and get you hungry) than this one.

Seventeen Magazine said You might be wondering why this movie is on this list since the Coveys aren't seen celebrating Thanksgiving in the movie, but since Peter K and Lara Jean's relationship is seen from October to December, it's still the perfect time to watch it while eating some pumpkin pie.

Seventeen Magazine said While Thanksgiving is all about the turkey, in Chicken Run, these chickens try to stop the owner of the farm that they are in from turning them into pies, so it definitely still works for the holiday.

Seventeen Magazine said While it was released in 2013, Frozen still holds the record for the biggest film opening on Thanksgiving weekend. So what better way to celebrate than by rewatching it again and singing-along to all the songs?

Seventeen Magazine said For Your Consideration is a hilarious mockumentary about a group of actors that are trying to make a movie about Thanksgiving with a cast full of comedy legends that will keep you laughing throughout dinner.

Seventeen Magazine said Spend the holiday learning more about a better part of American history that also everyone in your family would love!

Seventeen Magazine said Adam Sandler plays a retired stand-up comedian who believes he's gonna die and returns to comedy before his death. He ends up hiring Ira (Seth Rogan) to write his new jokes, who invites him to a special Thanksgiving dinner that features an iconic speech by Sandler's character.

Seventeen Magazine said Thanksgiving is all about family, which means its perfect to watch the best superhero family out there while having dinner with your own.

Seventeen Magazine said Two rival turkeys make it a mission to get turkey off the Thanksgiving menu for good.

Seventeen Magazine said Technically, A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving is only 24 minutes long, so it's not a movie. But it's so classic, it's pretty much required Turkey Day viewing. Not only did Peppermint Patty introduce you to the concept of Friendsgiving by inviting herself over to Chuck's for Thanksgiving dinner, but when she wasn't impressed with his cooking skills (toast instead of turkey, Chuck? Really?), Marcie reminds her and Charlie that the holiday is about being with your friends and loved ones, not turkey. Iconic lesson learned.

Seventeen Magazine said This movie about the impossibly unlucky shenanigans that go down when Del, a clumsy shower curtain salesman, tries to help Neal, an advertising executive, get home to his family in Chicago for Thanksgiving was a major departure for its director John Hughes. He made movies about teen angst like The Breakfast Club, not holiday road trip movies about middle aged men! But it WORKED. In the end, Del and Neal realized they were friends, despite their disastrous adventure. Del won himself a seat at Neal's Thanksgiving dinner table for it.

Seventeen Magazine said Too often, people buy into the myth that the first Thanksgiving dinner happened because the nice Pilgrims invited the Native Americans to look past their differences and break bread together to celebrate a good harvest. In reality, the Native Americans were unlikely invited and simply stopped by to check out what all the ruckus was about considering it was, ya know, their land. When Wednesday Addams' summer camp tried to peddle the fairytale version of events in their play, she was having none of it and gave everyone a much-needed reality check (and wreaked some havoc in the process, of course).

Seventeen Magazine said We've all got family members from out of town. Well, actually, Mitch Snider didn't until his long-lost cousin Woodrow contacts him right in time to meet up for Thanksgiving. Thing is, Mitch, an uptight city man, and Woodrow, a laid back country guy, are from completely different worlds and that means that coming together for the holiday for the first time is going to involve some clashing of heads. Who can't relate to that?

Seventeen Magazine said Okay, Adam Sandler playing himself AND his own twin sister was a train wreck waiting to happen, and that's what this movie was. But, even if a movie is critically panned doesn't mean it doesn't have a good message buried deep down underneath all the cringe. And that lesson is that no matter how unbearably annoying your family may be, you've still gotta grin and bear it around the dinner table because you love them.

Seventeen Magazine said Who could forget the scene in You've Got Mail when Kathleen mistakenly goes through the cash line at the grocery store when she has no cash? She's about to be shooed away to another line when her annoying nemesis/secret-cyber-love turns up and smooth talks his way into convincing the cashier to make an exception. Good thing it was Thanksgiving! Any other day, the cashier may not have been so kind.

Seventeen Magazine said Garfield, more than anyone, could learn a lesson or two about being grateful for your many blessings. In Garfield's Thanksgiving, the cat selfishly basks in Jon's disaster of a Thanksgiving dinner because it means it won't impress his date — Garfield's vet, Liz, who forced him onto a diet, of all things. But Garfield soon realizes the errors of his ways and helps Jon save the night the way only Garfield can.

Seventeen Magazine said Sure, Rocky isn't exactly a traditional Thanksgiving movie, but considering the boxer met his one true love, Adrian, on the holiday, I'm making an exception! Who could forget Adrian's brother Paulie throwing Adrian's turkey out the window to get her to go on a date with Rocky? It's the quirkiest, most awkward way to lead up to your first date.

Seventeen Magazine said This is technically a Christmas movie, but considering the fact that a drunk Santa Clause getting fired before the Thanksgiving Parade kicks off the events of the movie, it's the perfect film to say goodbye to Thanksgiving and usher in the December festivities!

Seventeen Magazine said When Michael crosses paths with the affluent Leigh Anne Tuohy while stranded out in the cold because he's homeless, she offers him her couch to sleep on. Then she invites him to spend thanksgiving with her family, which lays the seeds for Michael to become a full blown member of the fam. Let's just say that Thanksgiving scene will bring all the feels!

Seventeen Magazine said Anyone who swears they have the weirdest family in the world will totally relate to this charming comedy.
