LLamabutchers Thanksgiving Contest

What's the greatest Thanksgiving novel or movie?

I'm going with Richard Russo's Nobody's Fool. Nobody's Fool was one of those rare pieces that was a fantastic novel and a great movie.

Second place goes to the Ed O'Neil biopic Dutch, capturing the essence of the Thanksgiving week travel odyssey.

I can't think of a single Thanksgiving book or movie, but if you haven't read Russo's Straight Man, I highly recommend it.

Oddly enough, I started his book Mohawk the other day. I have no point, it's just a coincidence.

1. Pieces of April
2. What's Cooking
3. Home for the Holidays

Not necessarily in that order --- I think they are about equally well done. On Netflix, I gave all 3 of these "5 Stars", and my average rating of the Netflix movies I've seen is between 3 and 3.5, so I am not the most generous rater.
