Top 5 Hottest Thanksgiving Holiday Movies

Top 5 Hottest Thanksgiving Holiday Movies

The Thanksgiving holiday is about much more than celebrating the bond between the Native Americans and the Pilgrims or having a good time laughing at your drunken Uncle Joey. It’s about enjoying time with your family, stuffing your face with as much turkey you can get ahold of and of course, how many great movies you can catch during your extra days off. Let’s take a look at the top five movies at the box office that will make your turkey weekend a smash.

Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them

Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them

Sounds like you need a tall dose of Harry Potter before Harry Potter was actually Harry Potter. Fantastic Beats will certainly quench that whimsical desire to see the magical world of Harry resurrected with a brand new cast of heroes in an equally exciting setting. This new series should appeal not only to the diehard Potter fans but also those looking for a little adventure this weekend.

Doctor Strange

Not feeling the adolescent vibes Fantastic Beats is giving off? Not a problem – Doctor Strange amps up the magical world on a platform that’s certainly suitable for adults. Strange was an interesting character back in the day with some pretty extraordinary abilities. That should definitely translate well to the silver screen. If anything, it’s a Marvel flick from a brand that has yet to put out a bad film in the past decade.

Hacksaw Ridge

Hacksaw Ridge

It’s been a while since Hollywood put out decent WWII film. However, Mel Gibson’s Hacksaw Ridge could very well break that drought with its depiction of Desmond Doss, a Congressional Medal of Honor winner who saved over 75 soldiers without carrying a weapon or firing a single shot. This one should be at the top of your list this weekend.

Arrival

If you’re looking for a classic science fiction film with loads of drama this weekend, then Arrival is it. It’s being compared to films such as The Martian , Interstellar , and Gravity , which were all intriguing movie-going experiences. Grab your popcorn, soda, and a back row seat for this intellectual thriller.

The Magnificent Seven

Now, you might need to do some searching for this one, or hit up your local budget cinema, as it hit theaters roughly two months ago. The Magnificent Seven is a remake of the 1960’s classic Western where a gang of gun-totting bandits saves a small town from a rich man looking to seize their land. The cast includes some heavy hitter like Denzel Washington, Chris Pratt, and Ethan Hawke with a nice mix of complementary actors. Nonetheless, Turkey Day needs a little bit of Western to satisfy our inner cowboy. Hope you enjoy!
