Netflix Thanksgiving Movies: Alternative Films And TV Shows To Watch Out For This Holiday!

Movies that the public mostly watches out for come the Thanksgiving holiday revolve around the theme of Turkey Day. But there are other films and TV shows without the holiday theme that's good for viewing as well come next weekend on Netflix.

According to a report on Wetpaint, movie buffs may enjoy some romance-themed movies come next weekend with "Love Actually." Although the movie is more of Christmas than Turkey Day in theme, it still sheds some light about the importance of love, sacrifices and generosity.

Another movie to watch out for on Netflix according to the site was the 2008 movie "American Son" starring Nick Cannon. While the plot of the film was about a Marine coming home for Thanksgiving, the story delves deeper on the issues of sacrifices and separation from family in the name of duty.

Other good movies to watch out for this coming Turkey Day as told by The Echo News were the 2008 "The Blind Side," 1976 "Rocky," 2000 "Meet The Parents" and 2002 "Spider-Man," which touched the holiday somehow.

If movies don't appeal though this Thanksgiving, Netflix will also be featuring some Thanksgiving episodes of beloved TV shows for its subscribers as told by Pop Sugar. One of the TV shows the site suggested was "How I Met Your Mother's" "Slapsgiving." The season 3, episode 9 footage feature the characters Marshall and Barney going over their bets seriously and slapping each other whenever the other loses.

They also recommended that people watch season 3, episode 9 of "Gilmore Girls" to relive the four Thanksgiving dinners that Rory and Lorelai had to endure as they couldn't pass off not attending all the invitations offered to them.

There's also "Gossip Girl's" season 1, episode 9 titled "Blair Waldorf Must Eat Pie!" that showed yet more drama from the Upper East Side festivities.

Finally, the site suggested the "Friends" "The One With All The Thanksgivings" or season 5, episode 8 when Monica wore an uncooked turkey over her head.
