'The Ice Storm' (1997) Joan Allen and Tobey Maguire in The Ice Storm 20th Century Fox Film Corp. All rights reserved. /Courtesy: Everett Collection It's November 1973, and no one seems to be thinking about the approaching Thanksgiving holiday. For the Carver family, they're all obsessed with other things: daughter Wendy (Christina Ricci) with President Nixon and Watergate, son Paul (Tobey Maguire) with a girl at school, mom Elena (Joan Allen) with New Age spirituality and father Ben (Kevin Kline) with having an affair with next-door neighbor, Janey (Sigourney Weaver). Things all come to a head on Thanksgiving weekend, when a chilly ice storm blankets the town, the parents attend a wife-swapping key party and the children experiment with drugs and sex. After it's over, all of their lives will be changed, some for the better, others for the worse. If that plot description sounds ominous, that's because it is. There's a palpable sense of dread hanging over The Ice Storm, with all the characters seemingly waiting for something horrible to happen. But the beauty of the film isn't if it does or not - it's spending time with these morally complex characters at a specific time and place in American history. The Ice Storm isn't your typical Thanksgiving film - instead of bathing you in the warm and fuzzies, it coolly portrays a family under assault by its own apathy. It's a beautiful movie to look at and listen to, with career-best performances from everyone in the cast. Rent or buy The Ice Storm on Prime Video. 'Home for the Holidays' (1995) Claudia Larson's (Holly Hunter) life is a mess. She just lost her job, her now ex-boss made an awkward pass at her, and her teenage daughter, Kitt (Claire Danes), just informed her she's about to have sex. What's worse, she's about to spend Thanksgiving with her loving but very dysfunctional family, which includes a fussy sister (Cynthia Stevenson), a cuckoo aunt (Geraldine Chaplin) and her brother's handsome friend (Dylan McDermott), who may or may not be gay. Will this be the holiday from hell for Claudia? Home for the Holidays starts as a broad comedy, but develops into something more realistic and, yes, meaningful by the end. Director Jodie Foster gets the annual ritual of lower-middle-class Thanksgiving dinner just right - the clumpy Stove Top stuffing, the ramshackle house with worn carpeting and the relatives who are all well-meaning but just slightly irritating. Hunter's great as a woman unsure of what to do next, but look for Robert Downey Jr. as Claudia's free-spirited gay brother, Tommy. He handles all the family drama with a quick wit and a few well-placed eye-rolls that save him and Clauda from certain madness. Home for the Holidays is streaming on Paramount+. 'Dan in Real Life' (2007) Steve Carell in Dan in Real Life Buena Vista Pictures/courtesy Everett Collection Ok, technically, Dan in Real Life isn't a Thanksgiving movie, but with its warm portrait of a family gathering for a big meal, it might as well be one. The Dan in the title is Dan Burns (Steve Carell), a single father of three girls who travels to his parents' comfy Rhode Island cottage for a family reunion dinner. Once there, he reunites with his younger brother, Mitch (Dane Cook), and quickly falls for his new girlfriend, Marie (Juliette Binoche). Dan tries to resist his feelings, but when Marie indicates she's also interested, there's no way he can resist another chance at happiness - and to start some family drama. Dan in Real Life is kinda like a classier, better version of The Family Stone. Its characters all seem relatable and real, with Dan and Marie portrayed as reluctant middle-aged lovers who know they're causing a mess and can't help it. It's bizarre that The Office's Michael Scott and one of France's best actresses ever could generate such persuasive chemistry with each other, but their oddball pairing works - you root for them to hook up. Stranger still is that among the talented supporting cast, it's Dane Cook - Dane Cook - who impresses the most as Dan's charismatic brother. Dan in Real Life is streaming on Disney+. 'Pieces of April (2003) April Burns (Katie Holmes) lives in a small NYC apartment with her boyfriend, Bobby (Derek Luke), and isn't close with her extended family. Nevertheless, she invites them over for Thanksgiving dinner. But what starts as a simple meal becomes messier as April's oven breaks down, her drug-dealer ex pops up to intimidate Bobby and her family's trip is delayed by her mom Joy (Patricia Clarkson), who is dying of cancer.
