Movable Type 4.261 tag:www.chicagonow.com,2009:/blogs/spiritual-dammit//75.31078 2009-11-26T15:57:31Z 2009-11-26T16:29:38Z Best Thanksgiving Movie Ever What movie is a must see this holiday season? The classic 1995 film "Home for the Holidays." Jen Weigel http://www.chicagonow.com/profiles/JenWeigel "Home for the Holidays." The film, which came out in 1995, was directed by Jodie Foster- and stars Holly Hunter and Robert Downey Jr.  A favorite scene is when they are all at the table, and the turkey accidentally flies off of the platter, and into the bitchy sister's lap.  (Don't we all have someone in our family we wish would get pummeled by a large portion of poultry?) Every time I see the clip, I hear a line I didn't hear before.  The whole movie is like that, with new discoveries in each viewing.

I found the clip on youtube, and it's priceless.  Warning- there are swear words and heated tempers.  But if you have a dysfunctional family like I do- it will seem familiar.

And Happy Thanksgiving, Dammit!

Too funny.
