Mediaite’s Top Thanksgiving Movie Moments
What’s not to love about Thanksgiving? For one day in the middle of the week (a fact which used to fascinate and confuse me as a child growing up in Canada) an entire country of 300,000 million people stops everything they are doing to sit down, stuff themselves with food and drink, and watch football (I’m told…about the football party anyway). So yes, that part’s great. The part about being crammed into a house with various your family members may or may not be great depending, but that’s where the tryptophan and liquor come in!
Also, our Thanksgiving day marathon of top movie and TV Thanksgiving moments, which you can alternately choose to watch whilst stuck in a plane, train, or automobile or, when you need a break from being asked to explain to family members what exactly it is you write about on the Internet all day long. Fortunately! Some of these movies are available in their entirety on YouTube…meaning someone had their family Thanksgiving cap on. Anyway, enjoy it now, enjoy it later and if you have suggestions feel free to leave in the comments and we will do our best to add. In the meantime, have a safe Getaway Day and a Happy Thanksgiving.

The Katie Holmes flick is kind of dark, but it might make one appreciate the fact that their family isn’t quite as dysfunctional. I don’t know if it’ll remain online, but while it’s there and if you’re up to a YouTube multi-part, I’ll recommend it along with pretty much everything else in this list.

jimmymaher says: I was really surprised to see “The Ice Storm” recommended on that other list. It’s a depressing film about some very sad confused people, and not family fare by any measure. Not a _bad_ movie, but not the sort of thing you want to watch on or about Thanksgiving.I appreciate Kurt’s sentiment, but “Blackhawk Down” does not belong on the Thanksgiving list either.

Obama’s National Security Chief Of Staff Goes ‘Nucular’
After years of the cringe-worthy pronunciation of nu-cu-lar during the Bush White House, it seemed like we finally had an administration who had a litmus test in staffing their National Security detail - pronounce the word "nuclear." Not so. During an interview to discuss Iran's weapons program with MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell today, National Security Chief of Staff Denis McDonough definitely uttered the term Nucular. Gotcha! Right-wing critics eager for payback? Go! Video after the jump.
