Movies for Thanksgiving

Since I'm going on vacation the week of Thanksgiving, I thought it might be a good time to catch up on movies I've either wanted to see, or movies that I've seen that I'd like to watch again. It looks like Netflix actually has a lot of good content that is going to be available or newly released over the holiday this year, so it'll definitely be a necessity to have available. I have several of the movies on either VHS or DVD, or will be keeping my eye open for them to purchase. Many are available on Amazon Prime or Netflix.

My List


  • The Irishman (2019) - Martin Scorsese gangster film starring Al Pacino, Robert DeNiro, Joe Pesci, Harvey Keitel. Premieres on Netflix on November 27th. Pre-release, has been winning awards and called one of the best movies of Scorsese's career. (Netflix)
  • Hateful 8 (2015) - Quentin Tarentino western film with Kurt Russel and Samuel L Jackson playing bounty hunters transporting a killer to be hung. But they get trapped in a snowstorm.
