Staff Picks: Thanksgiving Movies

Our Staff Picks column takes you back to a time when video stores reigned supreme and the "Staff Picks" section was the place to find out what films were worthy of one's time. Of course, our version of Staff Picks has a decidedly skintillating angle, as we suss out which films from a particular subgenre are the best to find great nudity. This week let's check out Thanksgiving movies!

There are so many holiday movies surrounding Christmas and Halloween, but Thanksgiving tends to be totally overlooked. I don't get that personally because Thanksgiving is such an American holiday filled with tension, awkwardness, fun, stress, and having sex in your childhood bedroom when you bring your significant other home to meet your family for the first time. What? Just me?

This year you can get in the turkey-eating spirit by watching these films that have some Thanksgiving ties. Some of them may surprise you!

Pieces of April

Pieces of April is my pick for a good Thanksgiving movie that few people have seen. In this early 2000s indie film that is clearly shot in digital, Katie Holmes plays the black sheep of her family who has a fractured relationship with her cancer-ridden mother. She has gotten her life together, so she invites her family over to her New York City apartment for Thanksgiving. She's nervous. They are nervous. And then her oven stops working.

Patricia Clarkson plays her mother. She has breast cancer and in one scene we get to see pictures that she took (well, that she had her teenaged son take) of her bare naked breasts before she had surgery.

The Big Chill

This 1983 film starts off in a tense way: a group of college friends are reunited after one of them kills himself. Now they all gather together for his funeral which brings them all right back to the emotional spaces that they were in in college. From fights to sex, these former college buddies re-explore each other.

Where does Thanksgiving come in? During a flashback, we get to see the friends have a Friendsgiving back in the day which is one of the most memorable scenes from the movie. Hungry for nudity? Glenn Close goes nude and Meg Tilly teases us by talking about how much she masturbates. If only we could see Meg in action!

The Vicious Kind

Here is a film that takes place during Thanksgiving break! A college student named Peter gets picked up to go home by his older brother Caleb. He describes his amazing girlfriend to Caleb who has it in his head that the new girl must be a whore...so he tries to sleep with her. He's really weird and antagonistic towards her, but he obviously falls for her. Things get complicated!

Brittany Snow plays Emma, but we are here for the girl who plays Samantha. That's Alysia Reiner who gets banged from behind by Adam Scott who smokes a cigarette while in the act. Alysia's the one who is smoking hot with that rack.

Alice's Restaurant

We talked about this movie in last week's Hippie Hotties, but Thanksgiving dinner is a central part of this movie's journey. Arlo Guthrie stars in this adaptation of the long song "Alice's Restaurant". Shelley Plimpton goes nude in the movie, but it happens way before the big Thanksgiving feast scene. Hey, that's okay! We're grateful for her yabos at any time.

Funny People

Here is another film with a tender Thanksgiving scene. While the plot focuses on a comedian and his friends in Hollywood who deal with some life-altering news, the Thanksgiving scene is actually quite beautiful. George gives a toast to his friends who have gathered together for a bit of a misfit Thanksgiving. He encourages them all to be grateful and enjoy life. Awwww, Adam Sandler, you softie!

You will not be soft when you see Nydia's knockers in this movie. Nydia McFadden shows her perky pair when she is on top of Adam Sandler. As she bangs him, she talks about how she can't believe that she is banging this famous comedian and that her dad would flip out. Hey, let's leave dad out of this...unless you're calling Adam 'daddy'.

Awkward Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is in the title, then you know that this is going to be a Thanksgiving film. This 2014 indie comedy, is all about a weird Thanksgiving. Haley Madison plays a character who makes things even more awkward when she pretends to faint in the middle of the living room while also being totally nude. It's a full-frontal fainting scene!

The Best Thanksgiving Ever

Once again, Thanksgiving is in the title. If you really want to get your rocks off this Thanksgiving, then this is the movie for you. This isn't an award-winning drama by any means. This movie is all about the breast - and I don't mean turkey breast. There's a reason why this is the best Thanksgiving ever: boobs.
